- Manage and liaise with one point-of-contact per country/entity, scaling the team structure as the organisation grows.
- Coordinate with stakeholders including legal partners, donors, international partners, and internal department heads.
- Monitor performance against key benchmarks: efficiency, cost, delivery timelines, and regulatory compliance.
- Serve as the operational integrator across cross-cultural and multi-jurisdictional teams.
- Maintain complete transparency through the company's digital portal (projects, stakeholders, contracts, and documentation).
Candidate Requirements
- Minimum 8 years of leadership experience with direct COO-level or Group Operations/Multi-Entity oversight.
- Strong track record of managing multi-entity structures across geographies.
- Based in Dubai (or able to relocate) with a passport that allows unrestricted travel to Europe, the UAE, and other regions.
- Experience working with governance-driven organisations (NGOs, foundations, donor-funded initiatives, or cross-border commercial ventures).
- Comfortable operating in structured digital ecosystems governance portals, SOP libraries, and roadmap-led execution.
- Skilled in stakeholder communication, performance tracking, and cross-functional leadership.
- Must be available for weekly updates with the Group CEO and to follow the strategic direction provided.
- Exceptional integrity and transparency subject to background check, reference verification, and passport validation.
Benefits & Compensation
- Market-median salary with structured annual increases tied to organisational growth.
- Long-term career growth and influence over strategic execution across global operations.
- Opportunity to work directly with a visionary founder and lead a high-impact, mission-aligned organisation.
