  • Act as an interface between clients, architectural teams, multidisciplinary design teams, consultants, contractors and relevant authorities.
  • Understand stakeholder requirements and ensure they are appropriately captured, communicated and integrated into the design process.

  • Maintain clear stakeholder registers, action trackers, interface logs, approval trackers and decision records.
  • Support submissions and approvals with relevant Saudi authorities and other project stakeholders, as applicable to the project.
  • Identify stakeholder-related risks, interface issues and potential approval constraints at an early stage and escalate them appropriately.
  • Facilitate and participate in stakeholder workshops, design coordination meetings, technical reviews and client presentations.
  • Prepare professional presentations, reports, meeting records and briefing materials for senior stakeholders.
  • Work closely with architects, engineers, project managers, BIM/digital teams and other disciplines to maintain coordinated project delivery.
  • Support the resolution of architectural and multidisciplinary interface issues arising from stakeholder requirements.
  • Monitor stakeholder actions against the project programme and follow up with responsible parties to support timely closure.
  • Provide architectural input into stakeholder discussions and clearly communicate the impact of changes on design, programme and deliverables.
  • Support Principal and senior project leadership in high-level client and stakeholder engagements where required.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Architecture or a closely related discipline.
  • Professional architectural registration or membership would be advantageous.
  • Typically 10+ years of relevant architectural/design experience, with substantial experience on large or complex multidisciplinary projects.
  • Strong experience in stakeholder management, architectural coordination, design management or technical interface management.
  • Experience working with multidisciplinary design teams across architecture, structures, MEP and specialist disciplines.
  • Previous experience in Saudi Arabia or the wider Middle East would be highly advantageous.
  • Understanding of design development, technical coordination, authority submissions and approval processes.
  • Ability to review technical information and translate complex design matters into clear stakeholder communications.
  • Experience maintaining stakeholder matrices, design comment trackers, approval schedules and action registers.
  • Strong written and verbal English communication skills. Arabic language capability would be advantageous.

  • 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.
