The consultant will be embedded within the client team and will work closely with a small team of around five people, helping to bring structure, pace, and quality to day-to-day programme activity.

The role would suit someone with 3-5 years’ consulting experience who has a strong consulting toolkit, excellent communication skills, and the ability to operate confidently in a client-facing environment. Arabic language skills are likely to be needed, as the role will involve working closely with Arabic teams and stakeholders.

• Support the leadership across day-to-day programme and workstream activity.
• Engage with internal and external stakeholders and teams.
• Help coordinate progress across multiple workstreams, ensuring actions, risks, dependencies, and updates are clearly tracked.
• Support programme management activities including meeting preparation, reporting, progress assessments, and follow-up actions.
• Prepare high-quality PowerPoint materials, written updates, trackers, and visual content.
• Support storyboarding, storylining, and structuring of presentations and project materials.
• Help assess progress across workstreams and highlight areas requiring attention or escalation.
• Work closely with a small embedded team to maintain momentum and execution discipline.
• Bring awareness of marketing communications, corporate communications, PR, or government tourism-related topics where relevant.

Key Requirements:

• 3-5 years’ experience in consulting, strategy, PMO, programme support, or workstream coordination.
• Previous consultancy experience is highly preferred.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
• Strong consulting toolkit, including PowerPoint, Excel, storyboarding, storylining, visual content, and written communication.
• Good understanding of programme management and progress reporting.
• Ability to work on the client site in an embedded team environment.
• Arabic language skills are likely required, due to the stakeholder environment.
• Exposure to marcomms, corporate communications, PR, government, tourism, or destination-related ecosystems would be highly beneficial.
• Strong work ethic, attention to detail, and ability to work at pace.

Ideal Profile

The ideal candidate is a sharp, proactive consultant who can quickly understand the client environment, build trust with stakeholders, and support the Strategy & PMO Director in keeping programme activity structured and moving forward. They do not need to be a deep marcomms specialist, but some exposure to marketing communications, corporate communications, PR, government, or tourism would be a strong advantage.
