Project Manager (Mid-Level), Riyadh

About Velents

Velents is an Arabic-first sovereign AI company headquartered in Riyadh, with teams in Cairo, Hamburg, and Bahrain. We build and deploy AI products for GCC governments and large enterprises. Our products include voice and text AI agents, contact-center automation, and Arabic document intelligence. We work through a consulting-led, partner-first model, so our projects often involve close coordination with technology partners and system integrators.

The Role

We're looking for a Saudi Project Manager to lead the delivery of AI implementations for government and enterprise clients in the Kingdom. You'll run projects from kickoff to go-live and handover. You'll be the main point of contact for client stakeholders, and you'll coordinate our technical teams in Riyadh and Cairo along with partner teams. This role suits someone who knows how Saudi government and enterprise projects actually run and wants to deliver AI products that go into production.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and run a number of concurrent client projects, covering scope, timelines, budgets, resources, and risks.
• Serve as the day-to-day client lead, running steering committees, status meetings, and progress reporting in Arabic and English.
• Turn client requirements and tender scopes into clear delivery plans, work breakdowns, and acceptance criteria with the solution and engineering teams.
• Coordinate cross-functional and cross-border teams (engineering, AI/ML, QA, customer success) and external partners.
• Manage project documentation for government clients, including project charters, SOWs, change requests, UAT sign-offs, handover packages, and closure reports.
• Track milestones tied to invoicing and payment, and work with finance to keep collections on schedule.
• Identify risks and dependencies early, and elevate with clear options rather than surprises.
• Make sure deliveries meet local regulatory and data requirements (such as PDPL, NDMO data management standards, and client security policies), working with the technical and compliance teams.
• Support pre-sales when needed with delivery plans, timelines, and effort estimates for proposals and Etimad tenders.
• Capture lessons learned and help improve Velents' delivery playbook.

Requirements

• Saudi national.
• Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, information systems, business, or a related field.
• 1-3 years of experience managing technology or software delivery projects.
• Proven delivery experience with Saudi government entities or large enterprises (for example ministries, authorities, banks, telecom, or semi-government organizations).
• Solid grasp of project management methods (waterfall, agile, hybrid) and tools such as Jira, MS Project, or similar.
• Native Arabic and professional English, both written and spoken, including formal reports and presentations.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to handle senior client counterparts and competing priorities calmly.
• Commercial awareness around budgets, change requests, and milestone-based billing.

Nice to Have

• PMP, PRINCE2, or an agile certification (PMI-ACP, CSM).
• Experience delivering AI, contact-center, chatbot, document management, or data platform projects.
• Familiarity with government procurement and Etimad tender processes.
• Experience working with international or remote technical teams.
• Exposure to integration projects involving platforms like Genesys, IBM, or similar enterprise systems.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package in line with the Saudi market.
• Direct exposure to large-scale sovereign AI projects in the Kingdom.
• A fast-moving environment with real ownership and a clear path to senior delivery roles.
• Collaboration with teams across Riyadh, Cairo, and Bahrain.
