Director on high-priority matters, executive communications, and cross-functional alignment.

Key Responsibilities

- Delivery & Portfolio Management

-Own the end-to-end tracking of strategic initiatives across all directorate functions, ensuring milestones, dependencies, and risks are visible and proactively managed.

financial control, planning/strategy, and investor relations teams. -Manage the regulatory/reporting calendar and ensure cross-functional submissions are complete and on time.

-Identify process gaps across the directorate and drive standardization/improvement initiatives.

- Special Projects

-Lead ad hoc, high-visibility projects assigned directly by the Sr. Director (e.g., M&A; support, recent function design, operating model reviews).
- Required Qualifications

-8–12 years of experience in a PMO, strategy, chief of staff, or management consulting capacity — ideally with exposure to insurance, startups, technology, financial services, or a regulated industry. -Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Engineering, or a quantitative field; MBA or relevant certification (PMP, PgMP) is a plus.

-Proven track record managing complex, multi-stakeholder portfolios and driving delivery in matrixed organizations.

-Strong command of English (written and verbal); Arabic is an advantage.

-Advanced proficiency in Excel/PowerPoint and Power BI; familiarity with project tracking tools (e.g., MS Project, Smartsheet, Jira) preferred.

- Key Competencies

-Executive presence — comfortable operating with and briefing senior leadership and board-level stakeholders. -Structured problem-solving — able to break down ambiguous, cross-functional problems into actionable plans.

-Influence without authority — drives accountability across teams without formal reporting lines.

-Discretion and judgment — trusted with sensitive, confidential information.

-Bias for execution — relentless follow-through; closes loops rather than just tracking them.
