Technical Project Manager

• Role Overview:
• We are hiring a senior Technical Project Manager to take end-to-end ownership of complex technology and AI projects, from initiation and planning through execution, delivery, and closure. You will run engagements for government, semi-government, and large enterprise clients, where stakeholder environments are demanding and delivery standards are high.
• This is not an administrative coordination role. You are expected to understand the technology you are delivering: to read an architecture discussion and know what it means for the plan, to challenge estimates and assumptions, to see a dependency before it becomes a blocker, and to force decisions that others are avoiding. You will hold scope, timeline, quality, and client expectations together — and be the person accountable when they pull against each other.
• You will work closely with engineering leads, product managers, designers, data specialists, and commercial teams, and you will be visible to senior client stakeholders and Steering Committees from day one.
• Key Responsibilities:

Planning & Delivery

• – Own end-to-end delivery of assigned projects and workstreams, from initiation through closure and handover.
• – Translate business objectives and client requirements into structured, realistic delivery plans.
• – Define scope, milestones, deliverables, dependencies, governance, acceptance criteria, and measures of success — and get them agreed and locked before build starts.
• – Track progress against scope, schedule, budget, resourcing, and quality, and act early when any of them drift.

Technical & Team Leadership

• – Lead multidisciplinary teams across technology, AI, product, UX/UI, data, business, and operations.
• – Coordinate internal teams, clients, vendors, subcontractors, and strategic partners around a single delivery plan.
• – Manage technical dependencies spanning integrations, APIs, infrastructure, cybersecurity, data, platforms, and third-party services.
• – Work with product managers and technical leads to ensure business requirements convert into achievable, well-sequenced technical deliverables.
• – Drive timely decisions and ensure every action item has a named owner and a deadline.

Governance, Risk & Reporting

• – Establish and maintain project governance, reporting cadence, and escalation paths.
• – Proactively identify and manage risks, issues, assumptions, dependencies, and change requests — with mitigations, not just a register.
• – Prepare executive-level status reports, dashboards, and Steering Committee materials.
• – Maintain project documentation as a reliable single source of truth, in line with Boud's PMO, governance, and quality standards.

Client & Stakeholder Management

• – Lead client meetings, workshops, governance sessions, and project reviews.
• – Manage senior stakeholder expectations and resolve escalated delivery issues without losing the relationship or the plan.

Commercial & Practice Growth

• – Support resource planning, staffing, and capacity management, along with commercial and financial tracking such as budgets, burn, and margin where relevant.
• – Contribute to pre-sales activity: proposals, RFP responses, solution shaping, estimation, and client presentations.
• – Improve Boud's delivery methodology, tools, templates, and PMO practices based on what you learn in the field.
• What we are looking for:

Must-Have

• – 10+ years of professional experience, much of it in project or program management.
• – Proven record delivering technology, digital, AI, software, or data projects end to end.
• – Saudi or Arab national, based in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh preferred).
• – Strong technical PM background — comfortable with architecture, integrations, and delivery trade-offs.
• – Experience leading multidisciplinary teams across engineering, product, design, data, and business.
• – Confident with senior client stakeholders, including C-level and government counterparts.
• – Command of project governance, delivery methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, hybrid), and risk and dependency management.
• – Excellent written, verbal, and executive presentation skills.
• – Hands-on with Jira and Confluence, plus MS Project, Monday.com, or similar.
• – Professional working proficiency in Arabic and English.

Nice-To-Have

• – PMP, PRINCE2, PMI-ACP, or equivalent certification.
• – Consulting or professional services background.
• – Government or semi-government transformation programs.
• – Exposure to AI/ML, data platforms, cloud, APIs, or enterprise technology stacks.
• – Experience running multiple concurrent projects or workstreams.
• – Supporting pre-sales, proposals, and RFP responses.
• What we are looking for:

In The First 6–12 Months

• - Projects land against agreed scope, timeline, budget, and quality — with changes managed through governance, not absorbed silently.
• – Risks and dependencies surface early, with owners and mitigation plans, instead of appearing as blockers close to delivery dates.
• – Clients and Steering Committees have a single, trusted view of status; no one is surprised by a slip.
• – Technical and business teams share the same priorities, sequencing, and definition of done.
• – Scope and requirements are locked, documented, and traceable before build begins, and project documentation stays current enough to onboard a new team member in a day.
• – Delivery accountability is explicit: every action has an owner and a date, and Boud's PMO practices are measurably stronger than when you joined.
