Job description

Job Description:

DeepLight AI is a specialist AI and data consultancy dedicated to transforming the regional corporate landscape through bespoke, high-impact intelligent systems. We combine deep technical expertise in data science, cloud architecture, and AI platform engineering with structured, client-facing delivery governance.

As we scale our portfolio of enterprise transformations across the GCC, we are seeking a proactive, highly analytical PMO Analyst to join our Delivery Operations squad in Dubai.

The Opportunity...

In this role, you will sit at the operational heart of our client delivery function. Working alongside Project Managers, Engagement Directors, and technical leads, you will own project controls, drive portfolio governance, analyse delivery health, and produce executive-level reporting.

If you bring a sharp eye for detail, advanced analytical skills, and a passion for structured project environments, this role offers a platform to shape PMO standards across high-profile enterprise AI and data projects.

What You’ll Do...

• Own Project Controls: Track project baselines, milestones, budgets, resource allocations, and RAID logs (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) across multi-stream delivery engagements.
• Deliver Executive Insights: Design, automate, and distribute high-impact PMO dashboards, status reports, and portfolio KPIs for executive leadership and steering committees.
• Analyse Performance: Evaluate project trends, highlight schedule variances, detect budget deviations, and provide early warning insights to maintain delivery velocity.
• Drive Governance & Compliance: Support project stage-gate reviews, ensure compliance with delivery frameworks, and maintain audit-ready project documentation.
• Enhance PMO Standards: Collaborate with delivery leaders to continuously optimize PMO templates, reporting workflows, and project management best practices.

As an AI consultancy, our greatest asset is the expertise of our people.
While technical mastery is the foundation of what we do, the ability to bridge the gap between complex data science and actionable business value is what defines your success with Deeplight.
Were looking for individuals who are not only world-class in their fields of specialism, but also compelling communicators and persuasive advocates for their own skills.
You will be the face of our firm, tasked with building trust, articulating the "why" behind your technical decisions, and effectively "selling" your vision to high-level stakeholders.
If you thrive on the challenge of presenting cutting-edge solutions as much as you do on building them, you will fit right in.

What We’re Looking For...

• A bachelor’s degree in Business, Project Management, Finance, Engineering, IT, or a related discipline.
• Proven experience in a PMO, project controls, project coordination, or reporting analyst role within a structured project environment.
• Advanced capabilities in Excel and PowerPoint, with hands-on experience using PPM and reporting platforms (e.g., Power BI, MS Project, Jira).
• A demonstrated ability to consolidate complex data streams across multiple projects into clear, actionable portfolio visibility.
• Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to engage constructively with project managers, technical leads, and business stakeholders.

What Gives You an Edge

• CAPM, PMP, PRINCE2, or PMO-CP credentials.
• Hands-on experience building interactive Power BI or Tableau dashboards to automate portfolio reporting.
• Prior experience in a professional services or management consultancy environment.

The benefits youll enjoy as part of this role include:

• Competitive salary
• Comprehensive Gold Level personal health insurance
• Individual Visa Sponsorship
• Professional development and certification support
• Subscription reimbursement relating to your role
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects
• Monthly Employee Incentive program
• Career advancement opportunities in a rapidly growing AI company

This position offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of AI implementation while working with a talented team of professionals at the forefront of technological innovation. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in driving our companys success in delivering transformative AI solutions to our clients.
At DeepLight AI, we recognise that diversity drives innovation. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where individuals with different thinking styles can thrive and contribute their unique strengths to our specialised AI and data solutions.
