- Validate open-book budgets, development costs, and reimbursable agreements.
- Evaluate commercial viability and value propositions across competing developers, providers, and site options.
- Identify and quantify commercial risks and opportunities, developing mitigation strategies.
- Provide commercial recommendations and negotiation strategies for lease discussions and agreements.
- Support the development of investment cases and executive decision-making materials.
- Maintain regional cost intelligence and benchmarking databases.
- Collaborate with project management, technical, and legal teams to integrate commercial considerations.
- Maintain clear commercial audit trails and decision records.
- Provide regular commercial reporting, forecasts, risk assessments, and recommendations to leadership.
Requirements
