**Workplace:** on_site

**Department:** SDU Office

## Description

**Role Purpose**

The Executive Director – MMC & Delivery Learning Systems is responsible for institutionalising innovation and structured learning across the Qiddiya City Programme.

The role leads two strategic programme enablers:

1.  **Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)** – to enhance productivity, scalability, quality consistency, safety, and delivery predictability.
2.  **Delivery Learning & Knowledge Systems** – to reduce systemic repeat failures, accelerate decision-making, and embed institutional delivery intelligence across Business Units (BUs).

Operating at programme scale, the role ensures that Qiddiya moves from fragmented project-based execution toward structured, repeatable, and performance-driven delivery systems.

**Strategic Mandate**

**A. Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)**

-   Define and steer Qiddiya’s MMC ambition, roadmap, and governance framework.
-   Identify scalable MMC opportunities across asset typologies.
-   Establish standards, decision pathways, and adoption frameworks to enable BU implementation.
-   Align with Procurement and Supply Chain to support manufacturing agreements and market feasibility.
-   Translate pilot outcomes into institutionalised standards and repeatable playbooks.
-   Monitor measurable impact on cost, schedule, quality, HSE, and sustainability performance.

The role does not replace BU delivery accountability; it enables structured and scalable adoption across the programme.

**Delivery Learning & Knowledge Systems**

-   Establish and govern a structured delivery knowledge-sharing system across the Qiddiya programme.
-   Institutionalise lessons learned, best practices, and repeatable standards.
-   Create cross-BU transparency mechanisms to reduce duplication and rework.
-   Implement structured feedback loops between Delivery, Logistics, Engineering, Procurement, and Commercial functions.
-   Embed a culture of constructive transparency, where learning accelerates performance rather than assigning blame.

Knowledge sharing is positioned as a performance accelerator and delivery control mechanism — not documentation.

**Key Accountabilities**

-   Provide executive leadership for MMC and Delivery Learning initiatives in alignment with SDU mandate and TOM.
-   Translate systemic delivery risks and recurring failure patterns into structured institutional solutions.
-   Secure executive alignment and approvals for frameworks, governance models, and scaling strategies.
-   Ensure integration across Delivery, Procurement, Engineering/Design, Logistics, Commercial, and Digital functions.
-   Drive measurable improvements in delivery predictability, productivity, and cross-BU coordination.

**Success Measures**

**MMC**

-   Demonstrable adoption of MMC solutions on eligible assets.
-   Improved schedule confidence and delivery consistency.
-   Established supplier/manufacturing pathways supporting scalable adoption.
-   Measurable performance gains on pilot implementations.

**Delivery Learning**

-   Reduction in repeat systemic issues and avoidable rework.
-   Increased cross-BU coordination and visibility.
-   Sustained platform adoption and knowledge reuse.
-   Faster issue resolution cycles across delivery ecosystem.

**Stakeholder Environment**

**Internal:**  
SDU Leadership; BU Delivery Directors; CDU/Implementation; Engineering/Design; Procurement & Supply Chain; Logistics; Commercial/Contracts; Digital/IT; People & Culture.

**External:**  
Delivery partners; Tier 1 contractors; modular/offsite manufacturers; technology providers; specialist consultants; supply chain ecosystem.

## Requirements

**Profile Requirements**

This role requires a senior international development and delivery executive with demonstrated experience leading major programmes or large-scale master developments.

-   Experience operating in high-growth, high-complexity environments (e.g., national transformation or large urban developments).
-   Demonstrated exposure to construction innovation, industrialised construction, modular delivery, or transformation initiatives at scale.
-   Experience engaging senior executive committees and securing approval for strategic frameworks.
-   Strong understanding of programme governance, stage-gate processes, and cross-functional integration.
-   Track record interfacing with contractors, manufacturers, consultants, and supply chain ecosystems.
