Job purpose

Lead the real estate workstream supporting the Egypt Retail sale, delivering agreed transfers and disposals while protecting business-as-usual portfolio delivery.

What you will be doing

• Own end-to-end delivery: Build and manage the property-level delivery plan across branches and ATMs, with clear milestones, responsibilities, dependencies and completion criteria.
• Lead landlord and counterparty engagement: Coordinate communications, lease assignments, consents and subleasing arrangements; track freehold sale documentation and ownership transfers with the client Legal and transaction advisers.
• Manage commercial close-out: Coordinate negotiations on unconsumed rent, security deposits and reinstatement obligations, providing recommendations for the client's approval.
• Resolve delivery risks: Bring together the client's, business, Legal, Finance, CBRE and buyer representatives; escalate blockers early, with practical options and clear decisions required.
• Ensure controlled handover: Maintain evidence of approvals and completion, coordinate property-record updates and close or formally hand over outstanding obligations.
• Suggested candidate profile: Substantial Egypt commercial real estate and lease-management experience, preferably including portfolio transfers, disposals or restructuring; strong negotiation and project-management skills, Arabic and English business communication, and availability for travel within Egypt.
  

•  Programme Coordinator – Egypt

Purpose: Provide disciplined planning, coordination and reporting across the wider Egypt RES programme, including the M&A workstream.

• Maintain one integrated programme view: Consolidate workstream plans, milestones, owners and dependencies, keeping transaction activity connected to wider RES priorities.
• Drive action follow-through: Maintain action, decision, risk and issue logs; track overdue deliverables and escalate missed commitments or unresolved dependencies.
• Run programme governance: Coordinate meetings, prepare agendas and packs, capture decisions and ensure actions have named owners and due dates.
• Produce decision-ready reporting: Deliver concise dashboards and leadership updates showing progress, upcoming milestones, blockers and support required—not simply activity lists.
• Maintain document and approval control: Keep programme records, approvals, change requests and handover evidence organised, current and readily accessible.
• Manage scope and change control: Maintain the agreed programme scope and responsibilities; log proposed changes, coordinate assessment of timeline, resource and cost impacts, and track approval before plans are updated.
• Coordinate cross-functional dependencies: Track inputs and commitments across all RES value streams, Legal, Finance, business teams, suppliers and buyer representatives; identify gaps between workstreams and bring conflicting priorities to the programme lead for resolution.
• Track programme costs and resource needs: Consolidate agreed budgets, forecasts, actual costs and resource requirements from accountable owners; highlight variances, capacity gaps and funding decisions without assuming financial approval authority.
• Support transition readiness and communications: Maintain readiness checklists for agreed transfer dates, covering documentation, consents, approvals, data updates and operational handoffs; coordinate stakeholder updates and flag unmet prerequisites to the programme lead.
• Coordinate closure and handover: The role supports programme control and coordination, not construction delivery, legal advice or transaction negotiation.

• Suggested candidate profile: Practical PMO or project-coordination experience, ideally in corporate real estate or a regulated organisation; strong Excel, PowerPoint and document-management skills, attention to detail, and confident stakeholder follow-up in English and Arabic.
