Job description
Qiddiya Investment Company holds and develops major ventures across entertainment, sports and culture in Saudi Arabia, and its office development arm needs an Executive Director to steer commercial projects from concept through delivery. You lead strategic planning and execution for office development initiatives end to end, taking projects through budgets, timelines and delivery quality across multiple sites at once. Government stakeholders, external consultants and internal teams all route through this role for approvals, so coordination across all three groups happens constantly. Risk management, compliance and governance run throughout the development lifecycle, following the stage gate process the company applies to its projects. Senior project leaders report into this position too, and you mentor them while keeping development plans aligned with wider business objectives. Financial acumen matters heavily here, from budgeting and forecasting through to investment evaluation on mixed-use commercial office assets. Fifteen or more years leading large-scale real estate or office development gives someone the grounding this role expects. Corporate HQ or campus development experience, and prior work on either the landlord or occupier side, would set a candidate apart.
