Engagement Type: Onsite | Jeddah, KSA
Experience: 5-7 Years
Contract Duration: 6 Months
Immediate joiners with valid work permit will be prioritized.
Senior PMOs will not be considered for this particular mandate.
We're looking for a hands-on IT PMO Lead who thrives on getting things done - not just directing them. If you're the type who rolls up your sleeves, owns delivery end-to-end, and can hold together complex, multi-workstream programs without losing grip, this one's for you.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll run the IT PMO across a portfolio of concurrent enterprise programs — infrastructure, applications, and transformation — and you'll be in the thick of it every day. This is an execution-first role.
- Own and maintain RAID logs, RAG status reports, and steering committee packs — keeping them current, accurate, and actionable
- Drive project intake, prioritization, budget tracking, and vendor/contract performance with discipline
- Keep distributed teams aligned and delivery on track — proactively surfacing risks before they become problems
- Build and maintain executive dashboards and reporting for CXO-level audiences
- Coordinate across business units, enterprise architects, and system integrators to keep delivery moving
What We're Looking For
- 5-7 years of solid IT project/program management experience, with a track record of ground-up execution (not just oversight)
- Enterprise delivery experience — large budgets, multi-vendor environments, and senior stakeholder management
- Hands-on with PPM tools: MS Project, Jira, Smartsheet, ServiceNow PPM, or similar
- At least one recognized cert: PMP, PRINCE2, PMI-ACP, CSM, SAFe Agilist, or ITIL
- Bachelor's in CS, IT, Engineering, or related field (Master's/MBA is a bonus)
Bonus Points If You Have
- Insurance industry exposure — policy admin, claims, underwriting, or regulatory/compliance systems (e.g., IFRS 17)
- Familiarity with Guidewire or Duck Creek
- Prior GCC/KSA delivery experience
Logistics
- Start date: Immediate joiners only
- Work authorization: Valid KSA work permit or transferable Iqama required
