About Qiddiya Residential
Qiddiya’s Residential Business Unit is creating new neighborhoods within one of Saudi Arabia’s most ambitious destination-led developments. The focus is not simply to build housing, but to shape high-quality, market-relevant communities that support a long-term residential vision.
Within that context, the Villas & Townhouses team is a key part of the product strategy. We are looking for a senior development leader who can help shape, challenge and drive the development of this portfolio from the front end; ensuring projects are commercially sound, well positioned and set up for successful delivery.
Key responsibilities
- Lead a portfolio of development projects from feasibility through delivery readiness
- Define product strategy, unit mix, phasing and development briefs
- Drive feasibility, business planning and commercial optimisation
- Manage design, consultants, approvals and procurement strategy
- Represent the business in key stakeholder discussions
- Improve development processes across the portfolio
Requirements
- Strong client-side residential development experience
- Proven capability across feasibility, product definition, design management and commercial decision-making
- A true developer mindset, not just project management
- Ability to balance product, design, cost, programme and profitability
- Strong stakeholder management across consultants, authorities and senior leadership
- Middle East experience preferred
- Developer backgrounds preferred over pure consultancy, contractor or PMC
- Relevant degree required; real estate or commercial qualifications are a plus
