Armstrong Appointments Senior Social Performance Manager (ESG)

Main job function

The Senior Social Performance Manager is responsible for leading the company in terms of social performance across the company’s portfolio, focused principally on projects in South Africa.

This includes responsibility for social impact and risk management, the company’s  stakeholder engagement strategy and functions, and the community investment programmes.

The Senior Social Performance Manager will manage a team in ensuring that stakeholder engagement processes are developed and implemented in a planned, proactive and strategic manner, so that community risks are avoided and managed and relationships with beneficiary communities remain positive, or at the very least, remain stable.

This Manager is also responsible for overseeing and managing the team in the  design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the project-specific community investment programmes that are built on strong relationships and built into a strategy for long term sustainable and transformational impact.

An important element of this is ensuring that the South African programmes meet the specific requirements of the REIPPPP commitments and associated contractual requirements.

Aspects of the role require leadership and participation in the company’s overall Sustainability Strategy, engagement and leadership in the industry, and implementation of other social aspects associated with the projects such as BTE’s monitoring of contractor labour management
