General Manager - Execution & Asset Management

As Enlight’s portfolio and geographic footprint continue to expand, the GM will ensure these domains evolve together to meet the growing scale, complexity and demands of the business, while strengthening the connections, interfaces and ways of working across them. The role will focus on creating the alignment, clarity and collaboration required to enable effective execution today, while building the organizational capabilities, governance, policies and operating model needed to support Enlight’s continued growth and global expansion. A key priority will be strengthening the interfaces between domains - including clear handovers, decision-making, accountability and information flow across the project and asset lifecycle — while ensuring that the organization scales without losing the core DNA, values and standards that have contributed to Enlight’s success. The role also carries a significant international leadership dimension, requiring effective coordination and alignment across Israel, Europe and MENA, as well as the ability to manage complex interfaces with international suppliers, contractors, technology providers and strategic partners across multiple global markets.
