• Assist in the evaluation of new business opportunities, partnerships, and potential collaborations, including coordinating inputs from Business Development, Finance, and Engineering teams.
• Track execution of key strategic initiatives and corporate KPIs across departments, flagging risks and delays to the CEO on a timely basis.
• Prepare board papers, investor materials, and management presentations, synthesising inputs from multiple departments into clear, decision-ready formats.
• Monitor industry news, competitor activity, and regulatory developments relevant to the solar EPCC and broader renewable energy sector, providing concise briefings.
