Our work spans government, tourism, hospitality, healthcare, banking, and education.
We are looking for a
Senior Project Manager
- to lead the delivery of complex, multi-stakeholder programs from brief to completion.
- You will be Star's primary relationship holder with senior government and corporate clients, set the PMO approach for the delivery team, and play a key role in building our project management capability as the company grows.
- This is not a coordination role.
- You will own programs end-to-end managing scope, timelines, stakeholder relationships, subcontractors, and delivery quality simultaneously.
- You will also mentor junior PMs and shape how Star approaches project delivery as a practice.
- What you will be doing:
- Leading 2-3 large programs simultaneously for government and corporate clients
- Managing senior client relationships at ministry and executive level
- Building PMO structures, governance frameworks, and reporting systems
- Coordinating internal teams and external subcontractors toward shared milestones
- Producing executive-level reports and stakeholder communications
- Mentoring junior project managers and setting delivery standards
- Using AI tools to improve planning, reporting, and team productivity
Requirements
- 5-9 years of project management experience, preferably on government or corporate programs in Saudi Arabia
- Demonstrated experience leading programs independently from brief to delivery — not just participating in them
- Strong client relationship skills — comfortable presenting to senior government officials and executives
- Exceptional communication in Arabic and English, both written and verbal
- Structured problem-solver — you define the problem before you solve it
- Active AI tool user — you use AI in your daily workflow, not occasionally
- Hands-on work ethic — track record of doing the work, not just overseeing it
- Bachelor's degree in a relevant field; PMP or equivalent is a plus
Benefits
- Opportunity to lead some of Saudi Arabia's most significant human capability programs
- Fast-growing company with real room to move into senior leadership
- Collaborative, high-performance team
- Central Riyadh location
