Job description
Omantel's relationships with government, regulators and national institutions carry real weight for the business, and this Senior Manager looks after them from Muscat. Reporting to the General Manager Corporate Branding & Communication, the role sits within Corporate Affairs & Branding in the Strategy & Innovation unit. Government relations and regulatory coordination form a large part of the work, along with close monitoring of policy developments and what they mean for Omantel. Relationships extend to industry bodies, community leaders and strategic partners, and leadership engagement with these stakeholders is supported directly. On the communications side, you develop a technology communication strategy for the digital transformation story and a regional and global PR strategy for key markets. Local, regional and global PR coverage and thought leadership initiatives are managed here, as is a 'key people' positioning strategy.
