• Cross-Cultural Leadership: Act as the primary cultural bridge between global offices, harmonizing the working styles and expectations of US, Middle Eastern, and Indian teams.

• Multi-Regional Compliance: Oversee global compliance strategy. While deep Saudi expertise (Qiwa, GOSI, MHRSD) is a significant plus, you will be responsible for building a framework that ensures 100% compliance across all operating regions.

• Cultural Intelligence: Exceptional ability to navigate the nuances of Middle Eastern business etiquette, US corporate speed, and Indian operational dynamics.

• Strategic Compliance Knowledge: Understanding of international labor laws; familiarity with Saudi Labor Law or US employment regulations is highly advantageous.

• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills in English; proficiency in Arabic is a strong asset but not a hard requirement.

• HR Tech Visionary: Advanced proficiency with modern, global HRIS platforms and AI-driven productivity tools for remote-first teams.
