Oversee project budgets, cost control, resource allocation, procurement, contracts, and financial performance.

Identify potential project risks and develop effective mitigation, contingency, and recovery strategies.

Manage project changes, scope adjustments, variations, claims, and commercial issues.

Maintain strong relationships with senior management, Board members, clients, investors, government authorities, consultants, contractors, suppliers, and strategic partners.

Lead high-level negotiations and resolve complex commercial, operational, technical, and stakeholder issues.

Review project reports, financial forecasts, progress updates, risk registers, and performance dashboards.

Establish and monitor project KPIs and ensure accountability across project teams.

Ensure compliance with contractual obligations, regulatory requirements, safety standards, quality standards, and organizational policies.

Drive continuous improvement, project optimization, cost efficiency, and best-practice implementation.

Coordinate closely with Finance, Legal, Procurement, Operations, Engineering, Sales, and other departments to ensure effective project execution.

Lead project recovery strategies for delayed, underperforming, or high-risk projects when required.

Ensure effective documentation, reporting, knowledge management, and project close-out processes.

Provide regular executive-level updates, strategic recommendations, and project forecasts to senior management and the Board.

Identify opportunities for future projects, business expansion, strategic partnerships, and organizational growth.

Promote a culture of accountability, collaboration, innovation, safety, quality, and high performance across project teams.

✅ Requirements

Proven experience as a Senior Project Director, Project Director, Program Director, Senior Project Manager, or equivalent senior project leadership role.

Extensive experience managing large-scale, complex, multi-disciplinary, or high-value projects.

Strong track record of delivering major projects successfully within agreed scope, budget, timeline, and quality requirements.

Excellent knowledge of project management methodologies, governance frameworks, risk management, and project controls.

Strong financial and commercial management skills, including budgeting, forecasting, cost control, and contract management.

Exceptional leadership and team management capabilities.

Excellent stakeholder management, negotiation, communication, and conflict-resolution skills.

Strong strategic thinking, decision-making, analytical, and problem-solving abilities.

Ability to manage multiple projects, competing priorities, and complex stakeholder environments.

Strong understanding of project risk, procurement, contracts, compliance, quality, and operational requirements.

Excellent reporting and presentation skills with the ability to communicate complex project information to senior executives.

High level of integrity, accountability, professionalism, and executive presence.

Proficiency in project management and reporting tools; experience with ERP, PMIS, or project controls systems is an advantage.

Bachelor’s degree in Project Management, Engineering, Construction, Business Administration, Finance, or a related field is preferred.

PMP, PRINCE2, APM, PMI, or other relevant professional certification is an advantage.

Master’s degree or MBA will be an added advantage.

Experience in managing major capital projects, infrastructure, construction, technology, transformation, or other complex programs is highly desirable.

🌟 What We Offer

Competitive senior management compensation and comprehensive benefits package.

Opportunity to lead major, high-impact projects and strategic organizational initiatives.

Significant influence over project strategy, execution, investment, and business outcomes.

Direct exposure to senior executives, Board members, clients, investors, government authorities, and strategic partners.

Opportunity to lead large, high-performing project teams and multidisciplinary professionals.

Career progression toward Executive Project Director, Program Director, Managing Director, Operations Director, or other executive leadership positions.
