About The Job
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.
