Key Responsibilities

The Senior Project Manager will be responsible for leading comprehensive digital transformation initiatives from beginning to end. This includes managing complex projects with multiple workstreams while instilling structure, momentum, and confidence within client engagements. Candidates should be capable of shaping localized delivery approaches and driving innovative solutions rather than relying solely on existing methodologies.

Candidate Profile

• A minimum of 2 years in agency or consultancy environments, with 5+ years preferred.
• A proven history of managing large website or digital platform projects encompassing discovery, strategy development, UX, creative design, front-end and website development, quality assurance, deployment, and ongoing maintenance.
• Familiarity with digital marketing platforms such as Sitecore or Salesforce.
• Comfortable working with Jira and Confluence tools.
• Willingness to obtain or advance SCRUM certification.
• Arabic language skills are advantageous but not mandatory.

What To Expect
