Tools
We're looking for a seasoned Project Manager to lead complex digital transformation programs for government and enterprise clients in the UAE. If you've successfully delivered large-scale projects in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, understand how to navigate multi-stakeholder environments, and can manage cross-functional teams with confidence, we’d love to meet you.
You’ll oversee end-to-end execution: from project scoping and stakeholder alignment to execution, reporting, and delivery. This is a hands-on leadership role that requires strong structure, clarity, and the ability to drive momentum in high-impact programs.
- Lead digital transformation programs from initiation to delivery, ensuring alignment with business objectives and timelines.
- Coordinate with internal teams, clients, vendors, and government stakeholders across multiple workstreams.
- Own project planning, scheduling, budgeting, resource allocation, and reporting.
- Manage risk, dependencies, and escalations with a calm and solutions-oriented approach.
- Facilitate workshops, planning sessions, and steering committees to align on priorities and progress.
- Define clear project documentation, timelines, KPIs, and delivery standards.
- Ensure quality assurance across all deliverables — from design and tech to rollout and adoption.
- Track and report on milestones, blockers, and outcomes to senior leadership and client stakeholders.
- Support post-launch optimization and continuous improvement.
- 6+ years of experience in project management, with at least 2 years leading large digital transformation programs.
- Prior experience working on government-led initiatives in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or the wider GCC.
- Deep understanding of digital platforms, customer experience, and agile delivery models.
- Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams including UX, tech, strategy, and data.
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills — able to present to C-level executives.
- A structured mindset with the ability to juggle multiple workstreams without losing control.
- Familiarity with project tools like Jira, Trello, MS Project, Confluence, or Monday.com.
- Arabic speaking is preferred.
- PMP, PRINCE2, or Agile certifications are a bonus.
- Available to work on-site in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or other GCC locations if required.
- Open to contract-based engagement (not a permanent role).
