With offices spanning the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, and Morocco, and a large consultant workforce distributed across multiple countries, the role demands strong operational discipline, cross-border coordination capability, and the ability to lead a geographically dispersed team of varying skill levels. Reporting directly to the Chief Process Officer, the successful candidate will be expected to run the Operations function with a high degree of autonomy — resolving day-to-day challenges independently, managing upward in a structured and concise manner, and maintaining consistently high standards of service to the business and its employees. **Key Responsibilities** **People Operations — Onboarding & Offboarding** •      Own the end-to-end onboarding process for new joiners across all company geographies, ensuring Day 1 readiness in coordination with HR, IT, and Finance. •      Manage the procurement, preparation, and handover of equipment to new joiners, maintaining accurate asset records throughout. •      Oversee the full offboarding process, including equipment recovery, insurance cancellations, and all required documentation before a leaver is formally closed. •      Manage employee medical insurance enrolment on joining and cancellation on exit, liaising directly with insurance providers and country coordinators. **Visa, Immigration & Compliance** •      Manage employee visa issuance, renewals, and cancellations across UAE, KSA, Jordan, and Egypt, coordinating with PROs and government authorities. •      Maintain a proactive tracking system for all visa, permit, and commercial registration expiry dates — initiating renewals well ahead of deadlines. •      Oversee company commercial licences and registrations across all operating jurisdictions. •      Ensure full compliance with regional labour laws in the UAE, KSA, Jordan, Egypt, and the US, and maintain readiness for audits at all times. **Payroll & Finance Operations Support** •      Review and approve all Operations-originated payroll inputs — expense additions, deductions, and reimbursements — submitted by country coordinators before they reach the HR payroll cycle. •      Ensure country-level payroll and expense submissions are accurate, complete, and delivered on time each month. •      Coordinate with HR Payroll to resolve any Operations-originated variances or exceptions prior to Finance submission. **Office & Facilities Management** •      Supervise country Operations coordinators and support staff across regional offices, maintaining consistent operational standards. •      Manage office leases, facilities, utilities, maintenance, and vendor contracts across all company locations. •      Oversee travel, accommodation, and transportation logistics for employees and consultants being mobilised to client sites or regional offices. •      Manage medical insurance programme renewals and provider relationships; monitor coverage terms and claims handling. •      Monitor administrative and facilities budgets; identify cost savings and escalate variances as appropriate. **Process Improvement & Reporting** •      Document, standardise, and continuously improve operational processes and procedures across all geographies. •      Identify gaps, manual workarounds, and automation opportunities; present recommendations to the CPOO with clear rationale. •      Support company-wide reporting, compliance checks, and operational audits as directed. ## Requirements **Team Structure** The Operations & Offices Manager directly manages a team of country Operations coordinators and support personnel based in Egypt, Jordan, UAE, and Saudi Arabia. The team is diverse in terms of seniority and skill level — ranging from qualified operations professionals who manage country-level processes independently, to operational and administrative support staff who require structured guidance, clear task ownership, and regular follow-up to deliver consistently. The successful candidate must be comfortable leading a team of mixed capabilities: setting appropriate expectations at each level, communicating instructions clearly and simply where needed, and creating accountability structures that work for both high-autonomy and lower-autonomy team members without compromising overall performance standards. **Requirements** **Qualifications & Experience** •      Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Operations Management, or a related field. •      7–10 years of experience in multi-country operations, office management, or administrative leadership roles. •      Proven track record managing a distributed team across multiple geographies and time zones. •      Hands-on experience with visa, immigration, and government liaison processes in KSA, UAE, and/or Jordan. •      Experience managing medical insurance programmes and vendor contracts. •      Demonstrated ability to build and enforce operational procedures in environments with inconsistent or absent process. •      Strong working knowledge of regional labour and compliance frameworks across KSA, UAE, Jordan, and Egypt. •      Proficiency in MS Office and experience working with ERP or operational management systems. •      Flexible to work across multiple time zones and working week structures (Saturday–Wednesday for KSA; Monday–Friday for Egypt and Jordan). **Skills & Competencies** •      Operational discipline: able to design, document, and enforce processes and hold a team accountable to them. •      Cross-border coordination: comfortable managing country-level operations remotely, without physical oversight. •      Team leadership across skill levels: experienced in managing teams that span a wide range of seniority and capability — from qualified coordinators to blue-collar support staff — adapting communication style, task assignment, and performance management accordingly. •      Executive communication: structured and concise in managing upward; knows what to escalate and when; maintains composure under pressure from demanding senior stakeholders. •      Service orientation: approaches colleagues as internal customers, providing efficient, professional, and friction-free support — particularly important given the wide variety of employee profiles the Operations function serves. •      Problem-solving: resolves operational blockers independently and escalates only what genuinely requires senior intervention. •      Attention to detail: rigorous in maintaining records, tracking deadlines, and ensuring compliance documentation is always current and complete. **Preferred (Advantageous)** •      Prior experience in an IT staffing, systems integration, managed services, or professional services environment. •      Experience coordinating payroll inputs across multi-currency, multi-country payroll cycles. •      Experience managing equipment procurement and asset tracking for a dispersed, consultant-heavy workforce. •      Very Good English language proficiency (KSA and UAE coordination). ## Apply [Apply at BlackStone eIT](https://apply.workable.com/blackstone-eit-2/j/257660AD0A/apply) --- Powered by [Workable](https://www.workable.com)
