Senior Project / Delivery Manager (relocation to Saudi Arabia)

ZentixSoft is looking for a Senior Project / Delivery Manager! 🚀

Format: Full-Time Outstaffing, 13-week initial trial period on-site in Riyadh with expected long-term extension (~20% service management during hypercare).

Location: On-site in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (Open to candidates currently based in KSA or willing to relocate).

🏛️ Our Approach & Culture at ZentixSoft:
At ZentixSoft, we operate on trust and high autonomy. We have no micromanagement or minute-by-minute monitoring—we value a mature leadership mindset and freedom in decision-making.
However, freedom always equals personal responsibility. We measure success by concrete, milestone-based business outcomes, not logged hours. We expect you to take full ownership of program governance, navigate complex regulated environments, manage critical paths, and drive delivery straight across the finish line.
This engagement requires driving a major Data/Digital program for a leading enterprise client in Saudi Arabia, leading a mixed on-site and remote team of 10–12 specialists.

🧩 Responsibilities:
Milestone Delivery: Drive fixed 3-month delivery plans including critical paths, dependencies, production releases, UAT, and successful go-live operations.
Formal Governance: Establish and execute formal project governance: steering committees, weekly project boards, Earned Value Analysis (EVA) reporting, executive summaries, change control, and deliverable sign-offs.
Team & Stakeholder Management: Manage a cross-functional team of 10–12 engineers (Data, BI, QA, UX, CRM) while driving communication with C-level client stakeholders.
Regulatory & Compliance Ownership: Navigate local Saudi regulatory frameworks (SAMA / Insurance Authority cybersecurity guidelines, PDPL, data residency).

🎓 Our Perfect Match (Requirements):
Senior Experience: 10+ years of delivering data, analytics, or digital programs in Banking or Insurance, including at least one major Customer 360, CRM, or BI enterprise program.
Certifications & Governance: PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent formal delivery management certification.
Saudi Financial Market Experience: Proven experience operating within KSA financial institutions and navigating SAMA/PDPL data residency requirements.
Relocation & Presence: Willingness and availability to be 100% on-site in Riyadh for the initial 13-week delivery phase.
Communication: Fluent English (Arabic is a strong plus).

📍 Project Details:
⏳ Duration: 13 weeks on-site + long-term extension.
📍 Location: On-site Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
