  • Market Intelligence & Risk: Conduct deep market analysis and supply chain development, identifying strategic sourcing opportunities, geopolitical risks, and supply chain dependencies (Tiers 1-3).

  • Tendering & Negotiation: Lead complex, high-value tender processes (EOI, Prequalification, RFP, Award) and personally conduct high-stakes commercial and contractual negotiations with major international and local contractors/vendors.

  • Value Optimization: Drive significant cost savings and value through strategic sourcing, contract optimization, and rigorous price assessment, ensuring best value for money for the client.

PMO Integration and Governance (PMO Focus)

  • Policy & Governance: Lead the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of all PMO-level procurement policies, processes, procedures, and governance frameworks, ensuring compliance with client requirements, corporate ethics, and KSA regulations.

  • Cross-Functional Alignment: Collaborate directly with the Project Controls, Planning, Engineering, Commercial/Contracts, and Legal teams to ensure seamless alignment of procurement milestones, schedules, cost estimates, and technical specifications.

  • Contract Management Oversight: Provide expert direction for contract finalization, ensuring the adoption of approved terms, and providing technical support for the review and commercial management of change orders, claims, and time impact analyses.

  • Performance Reporting: Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) for the procurement function. Prepare and present high-level, data-driven reports and performance dashboards to Senior Management and the Client on procurement status, savings, risk exposure, and market trends.

Experience & Qualifications

  • Experience: Minimum 20+ years of progressive, strategic procurement and supply chain management experience, with at least 10 years in a senior leadership or managerial capacity on mega-projects (>$1 Billion USD) in the infrastructure, construction, or engineering sectors.

  • PMO Expertise: Proven experience operating within a highly structured Project Management Office (PMO) or Program Management Consultant (PMC) environment.

  • Regional Experience: Extensive and demonstrated experience managing large-scale procurement and supply chain operations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) , with familiarity with local regulatory requirements and Vision 2030 goals.

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Engineering, Supply Chain Management, or a related field. A Master’s degree (MBA/MS) or professional certifications (e.g., CIPS, CPSM, PMP ) is highly desirable.

  • Technical Acumen: Expert proficiency with modern enterprise-level procurement and contract management systems (e.g., SAP Ariba, Oracle, Prism).

  • Leadership: Exceptional leadership, negotiation, commercial, and stakeholder management skills with a proven ability to lead and mentor large, multi-cultural procurement teams.
