• Agile Project Management: Define project scope, manage sprints, track backlogs, and ensure timely software releases while maintaining strict budget controls.
• Integration & Testing: Oversee system integrations, user acceptance testing (UAT) with site teams, and ensure high app performance, security, and scalability.

• Reporting: Prepare and present data-driven technical progress reports, milestone achievements, and product roadmaps to leadership.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related technical field.
• Experience: 5 years of proven experience as an IT/Software Project Manager, specifically delivering construction-related software, mobile apps, or PropTech solutions.

• Industry Knowledge: Solid grasp of construction workflows, site operations, or common industry pain points to effectively build/deploy relevant tech solutions.
• Tools: High proficiency with project management and development tools (e.
g., Jira, Confluence, Trello, Asana, MS Project).
• Language: Excellent communication and presentation skills in English.
• Mobility: Willingness to relocate to Saudi Arabia (if not already based there).
