The SPMO Manager is the Group’s central steward of strategy-execution. Reporting to the DCEO /

Chief Strategy & Information Officer, the role converts the Group’s long-term vision into a prioritized,

funded, and well-governed project portfolio; enforces a group-wide project-management framework;

tracks benefits realization and performance KPIs; and provides timely, insight-driven

recommendations that keep executives, departments, and country teams on course. By leading a

multidisciplinary SPMO team and collaborating closely with Finance, Information Capital, Operations,

and other divisions, the SPMO Manager ensures every initiative—digital-transformation, brand roll-

out, process excellence, or cost-optimization—lands on time, on budget, and with measurable

business impact across all six GCC markets.

• Partner with CSIO and Executive leadership to translate long-term vision into an executable

road-map, cascading OKRs/KPIs and maintaining a single source of truth for targets.

trend), executive workshops, and update the strategic roadmap and plans accordingly.

• Chair quarterly strategy review meetings with executives, consolidating progress reports,

CSIO and Finance leadership for timely corrective decisions.

optimization, and NPV, ensuring benefit-realization reviews are completed

Performance Management & Business Insights

• Oversee Balanced-Scorecard and OKR execution across the Group, validating KPI data integrity

and alignment with strategic targets.

• Lead the monthly Senior Management Review (SMR) meeting by presenting consolidated Group

performance dashboards, spotlighting variances and strategic risks, and securing clear

corrective-action owners, deadlines, follow-up checkpoints, and log actions in the portfolio

register.
