Key Responsibilities

• Prepare concise executive summaries, risk assessments, and recommendations on proposed land acquisitions and investments.
• Monitor ongoing construction project dashboards (milestones, cash flows, and delivery timelines) and flag potential delays or variations to the MD before they escalate.

Financial Modeling & Business Intelligence:

• Conduct deep-dive market research on property trends, rental yields, and land values across Abuja (e.g., Maitama, Asokoro, Guzape, Wuye, and emerging sub-markets).
• Build and stress-test baseline financial models, feasibility studies, and Return on Investment (ROI) projections for prospective residential and commercial developments.
• Analyze competitor activities and regulatory updates from the FCDA, AGIS, and the Federal Ministry of Housing to brief the MD on emerging risks and opportunities.

Stakeholder Liaison & Gatekeeping:

• Act as the MD’s proxy in internal and initial external meetings, ensuring the MD’s strategic intent is clearly communicated and maintained.
• Serve as a highly professional bridge between the MD’s office and internal department heads (Project Management, Legal, Finance, Marketing).
• Manage relationships with high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), corporate institutional clients, Joint Venture partners, and senior government officials.

Executive Operations & Board Secretariat:

• Attend high-level technical, management, and board meetings alongside or on behalf of the MD; record detailed minutes and distill them into actionable tracking registers.
• Systematically follow up with department heads to ensure deliverables and directives assigned by the MD are completed on schedule.
• Develop elite, boardroom-ready PowerPoint presentations, technical briefs, and corporate speeches for the MD.
