About the Role
The PMO Manager acts as the right hand to the Sr. Director of Commercial Finance & Actuarial, ensuring end-to-end delivery discipline across the directorate's portfolio - spanning actuarial science, commercial finance and data analytics. This role owns the tracking, governance, and execution follow-through of strategic initiatives while acting as a trusted advisor and force-multiplier for the Sr. Director on high-priority matters, executive communications, and cross-functional alignment.
Key Responsibilities
Delivery & Portfolio Management
- Own the end-to-end tracking of strategic initiatives across all directorate functions, ensuring milestones, dependencies, and risks are visible and proactively managed.
- Build and maintain a single source of truth (dashboards/trackers) for project status, escalating slippage before it becomes a problem.
- Run structured cadences (weekly/monthly reviews) to hold workstream owners accountable for deliverables.
Executive & Strategic Support
- Act as a thought partner to the Sr. Director - synthesizing complex information into clear recommendations for decision-making.
- Prepare board-level and executive committee materials, briefing documents, and presentations on the Sr. Director's behalf.
- Represent the Sr. Director in select meetings, ensuring priorities and messaging remain consistent.
Governance & Stakeholder Coordination
- Serve as the coordination point between actuarial, commercial finance, financial control, planning/strategy, and investor relations teams.
- Manage the regulatory/reporting calendar and ensure cross-functional submissions are complete and on time.
- Identify process gaps across the directorate and drive standardization/improvement initiatives.
Special Projects
- Lead ad hoc, high-visibility projects assigned directly by the Sr. Director (e.g., M&A support, new function design, operating model reviews).
Required Qualifications
- 10+ years of experience in a PMO, strategy, chief of staff, or management consulting capacity - ideally with exposure to insurance, startups, technology, financial services, or a regulated industry.
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Engineering, or a quantitative field; MBA or relevant certification (PMP, PgMP) is a plus.
- Proven track record managing complex, multi-stakeholder portfolios and driving delivery in matrixed organizations.
- Strong command of English (written and verbal); Arabic is an advantage.
- Advanced proficiency in Excel/PowerPoint and Power BI; familiarity with project tracking tools (e.g., MS Project, Smartsheet, Jira) preferred.
Key Competencies
- Executive presence - comfortable operating with and briefing senior leadership and board-level stakeholders.
- Structured problem-solving - able to break down ambiguous, cross-functional problems into actionable plans.
- Influence without authority - drives accountability across teams without formal reporting lines.
- Discretion and judgment - trusted with sensitive, confidential information.
- Bias for execution - relentless follow-through; closes loops rather than just tracking them.
