Operational Specialist

We're a growing tech startup with engineering, finance, and business development teams all moving fast — and we need someone who makes sure they move together. As Operations Coordinator, you'll be the connective tissue between functions: tracking every deadline, chasing every open item, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks between teams. This is a hands‑on, high‑visibility role reporting directly to the CEO.

• Own and maintain our central project tracker () across engineering, finance, and BD
• Check in daily with team leads and individual contributors to confirm task status and surface blockers early
• Flag at‑risk deadlines with enough lead time for the team to actually fix them — not after they've slipped
• Run weekly cross‑functional status updates and keep the CEO informed on where things stand
• Follow up relentlessly until items are actually closed, not just marked "in progress"
• Identify recurring bottlenecks between teams and suggest process fixes
• Keep meeting notes, action items, and ownership crystal clear across all functions

• 1–3 years of experience in operations, project coordination, executive assistance, or a similar cross‑functional role
• Daily hands‑on experience with , Asana, Click Up, or similar tools — you actually live in these platforms
• Excellent written and verbal communication in English and Arabic
• Comfortable following up with people repeatedly and professionally — this role requires persistence, not just planning
• High attention to detail and low tolerance for missed deadlines
• Startup or fast‑paced environment experience is a plus
• Saudi nationals are encouraged to apply

Within 90 days, every team knows you're the person who keeps them accountable — and they don't dread your follow-ups, because they know you're helping them look good, not just checking boxes.
