Reporting directly to the Chief People Officer, the successful candidate will oversee HR activities across multiple locations and manage a team of two direct reports.

  • Lead Saudization initiatives, monitor Nitaqat compliance, and support nationalization targets.
  • Oversee visa, work permit, and residency processes through the Government Relations team.
  • Manage HR-related audits and proactively address compliance risks.

Recruitment & Workforce Planning

  • Coordinate high-volume local and international recruitment in partnership with recruitment agencies.
  • Support workforce planning, manpower budgeting, and headcount forecasting.
  • Ensure effective employee mobilization and onboarding across operational locations.

Employee Relations & Business Partnering

  • Partner closely with Operations and restaurant management teams on employee-related matters.
  • Manage employee relations, disciplinary processes, conflict resolution, and workplace investigations.
  • Implement initiatives to improve employee engagement, retention, and overall employee experience.
  • Provide HR guidance to operational leaders in a fast-paced, multi-site environment.

HR Systems & Reporting

  • Maintain accurate employee records and HRIS data.
  • Monitor and report on key HR metrics, including headcount, attrition, absenteeism, and workforce costs.
  • Identify opportunities to improve HR processes, policies, and operational efficiency.

Candidate Requirements:

  • Minimum 8–10 years of progressive HR experience, ideally within QSR, F&B, retail, or hospitality.
  • Proven experience managing HR operations across multiple locations and a sizeable frontline workforce.
  • Strong working knowledge of Saudi labor laws, Saudization, Nitaqat, payroll, and HR compliance.
  • Hands-on experience in employee relations, HR administration, and workforce planning.
  • Experience coordinating high-volume recruitment, overseas hiring, and employee mobilization.
  • Previous experience managing Government Relations / PRO activities.
  • Proficiency in HRIS platforms (ideally Zoho People) and strong Excel/reporting skills.
  • Strong stakeholder management, communication, and problem-solving capabilities.
  • Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, operationally intensive environment.
  • Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related discipline. Professional HR certifications are an advantage.

Why Join?

  • Take ownership of HR operations within a rapidly expanding, multi-location business.
  • Work directly with senior leadership and influence people practices across the Kingdom.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
