RobLawMax Recruitment is proud to be partnering with RealNZ to appoint a Programme Manager who will help lead one of New Zealand's most significant tourism development programmes.
This is a rare opportunity to establish and lead a multi-year capital development programme that will shape the future of an iconic destination.

- Establishing and leading the overall capital development programme.
- Developing programme governance, delivery frameworks and reporting systems.

- Managing consultants, contractors and key stakeholders.
- Monitoring programme performance, programme risks and delivery outcomes.
- Supporting governance reporting and executive decision-making.
- Ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and aligned with strategic objectives.
- Identifying opportunities to improve commercial performance, operational outcomes and customer experience.
