This is usually seen when a letter is sent to someone but the abbreviation, c/o is used to indicate that it should be, in care of someone else. Just need a more formal term for a project I'm working on.

Strictly speaking, when you say care of, you are actually saying at the address of—and it doesn't need to be a person.
[Merriam-Webster]
: at the address of
// You can write to him care of his fan club.
[Oxford Dictionaries]
At the address of.
‘write to me care of Ann’
‘If you are having similar problems do write to me care of Scotland on Sunday.’
But if you're asking about a person to whom correspondence is specifically addressed, there are a few terms I can think of (in addition to just intermediary). These all come from Merriam-Webster. As you'll see one word leads to another.
Contact:
3 : a person serving as a go-between, messenger, connection, or source of special information business contacts
Go-Between:
: an intermediate agent : BROKER
Agent:
4 : one who is authorized to act for or in the place of another
In a business sense, of course, this could just be secretary:
1 : one employed to handle correspondence and manage routine and detail work for a superior
