# Senior Project Manager

> COGNNA · Egypt (Remote) · Full-time · Posted 2026-11-12

**Workplace:** remote

## Description

We are hiring a **Senior Project Manager** to lead our Delivery department and own every customer implementation from contract signature to go-live and handover. You will turn sold deals into deployed, adopted cybersecurity solutions — on time, within scope, and to the security and compliance standards our clients expect.

You will manage a portfolio of concurrent SaaS deployments for enterprise and government clients across Saudi Arabia and the GCC. You will build the department's processes, mentor a junior Delivery Specialist, and act as the trusted face of delivery to client executives and technical teams.

### Key Responsibilities

**Delivery leadership**

-   Lead the Delivery department and set its strategy, processes, tools, and quality standards.
-   Build a repeatable delivery methodology: onboarding playbooks, templates, RACI, stage gates, and handover checklists.
-   Forecast delivery capacity and flag hiring or partner needs as the customer base grows.

**Project and portfolio management**

-   Own end-to-end delivery of multiple concurrent SaaS implementations: kickoff, scoping, planning, deployment, integration, UAT, go-live and handover to Customer Success.
-   Define scope, milestones, budgets and resource plans; manage change requests and prevent scope creep.
-   Track risks, issues and dependencies, and escalate early with clear options.
-   Coordinate with Product, Engineering, Security Operations, Pre-Sales and Customer Success to remove blockers.

**Client and stakeholder management**

-   Serve as the main delivery contact for client executives, CISOs, IT and SOC teams.
-   Run steering committees, status meetings and executive reporting in Arabic and English.
-   Ensure deployments meet client security, data-residency and regulatory requirements (e.g. NCA ECC, SAMA CSF, PDPL).
-   Manage expectations and resolve escalations to protect customer satisfaction and renewals.

**People leadership**

-   Manage, coach and develop the Delivery Specialist; set goals and review performance.
-   Delegate project workstreams appropriately and grow the specialist toward independent ownership.

**Reporting and governance**

-   Maintain accurate project status, timelines, and health in the PM tooling.
-   Report delivery KPIs to leadership and run post-project reviews to drive continuous improvement.
-   Feed client insights and recurring deployment issues back to Product.

## Requirements

-   Native Arabic speaker with excellent written and spoken Arabic; professional fluency in English.
-   6+ years of project management experience.
-   Proven record delivering enterprise implementations for large or government clients.
-   Familiarity with Saudi and GCC regulatory frameworks such as NCA ECC, SAMA CSF and PDPL.
-   Strong command of Agile and Waterfall/hybrid delivery methods.
-   Hands-on with PM and collaboration tools such as Jira and Confluence.
-   Excellent stakeholder management, presentation and executive-communication skills.
-   Organised, calm under pressure and able to manage competing priorities across several projects.

### Preferred qualifications

-   PMP or PRINCE2 Practitioner certification.
-   Solid working knowledge of cybersecurity concepts: security operations, log sources,  integrations, identity and cloud security.
-   Experience working with public-sector and critical-infrastructure clients in Saudi Arabia.
