• This role is for working with our local clients in Saudi Arabia and providing facilitation support to our PMO.

What You Have

• 5+ years of technical project management experience in the software development industry, IT service management or something similar. We encourage you to apply if you have less or more years of experience; the number of years is to give an average benchmark.
• Demonstrate the ability and willingness to continuously acquire new competencies and find creative solutions in response to changing priorities and needs.
• Be organized in leading a project and delivering high-quality customer experience in a professional setting.
• Strong command of Arabic and English in writing and speaking.
