Senior Manager Operational Interface

Job description / Role

Description

Qiddiya is Saudi Arabia’s future capital of entertainment, sports, and culture — a 360 km² mega-project just outside Riyadh. From F1-grade racetracks and theme parks to stadiums and performance venues, we’re creating a destination like no other. This is more than a project, it’s a national transformation. As construction accelerates, we’re hiring ambitious talent to help shape it. If you’re driven by scale, impact, and the chance to build something iconic from the ground up, Qiddiya is calling for you.

General summary:

The Senior Manager Operational Interface will oversee and manage interface-related activities across the project and mobility modes, ensuring seamless technical coordination between multiple stakeholders, disciplines, and contractors.

The role will report to the Interface Director and requires a highly technical interface manager with extensive transport integration experience. The role is critical to ensuring the successful integration of design, construction, and operational elements of each transport project within Qiddiya city.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in technical interface and integration management. The role will commence in the planning and design period; however, knowledge of the requirements and processes required to plan and implement sub-system, system integration testing, and T&C across multiple mobility modes is essential. The candidate must have exceptional communication skills and the ability to navigate complex, multi-stakeholder environments.

Essential duties and responsibilities:

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree (master’s preferred) in Engineering, Project Management, or equivalent.

Minimum of 15 years’ experience in interface and integration management, stakeholder leadership, community engagement, or related fields, preferably in transport or large infrastructure projects.

Proven experience advising senior leaders while working on complex, multi-disciplinary projects, preferably in the Middle East or GCC region.

Strong working knowledge of Saudi Arabian regulatory and government frameworks and Vision 2030 priorities.
