With more than 15,000 employees across 25 countries, and over 1,400 colleagues in 33 cities and towns across the Kingdom, we combine global experience with strong local presence. Our vision is to transform renal care by broadening access to high-quality kidney care. This is enabled by our standardised care delivery model, continuously evolving digital and AI capabilities, and people who care with competence, passion and inspiration.

Building on a strong foundation and continued growth across the Kingdom, Diaverum Saudi Arabia is entering a new phase of opportunity, with an expanding portfolio of strategic priorities and initiatives. The Head of Project Management Office (PMO) will play a key role in helping translate these ambitions into coordinated accountable and measurable delivery.

Reporting to the Value Creation and Growth Director, the role sits at the centre of execution excellence, bringing structure and visibility across the designated strategic portfolio and supporting effective coordination and timely leadership decision-making.

Head of PMO will manage the day-to-day operation of Diaverum Saudi Arabia's strategic execution model and support a structured rhythm across the organisation.

In this role, you will act as the central governance and coordination point for the designated strategic initiatives, helping ensure approved priorities are translated into clear, time-bound execution plans with visibility of progress, risks, dependencies, decisions and expected outcomes.

You will work closely with functional leaders across Medical, Commercial and Operations, Finance, Digital & IT, Human Capital and other functions.

Execution Excellence and Strategic Rhythm:

• Coordinate the execution rhythm, connecting strategic priorities, annual commitments and structured cycles.
• Translate approved priorities into clear, time-bound plans with defined ownership, milestones, expected outcomes and decision points.

• Apply and maintain agreed project management frameworks, methodologies, templates and execution tools.
• Maintain digital tools and dashboards that provide timely and transparent visibility.
• Use automation and AI-enabled tools, where appropriate, to streamline reporting, risk and dependency tracking and executive briefing.

You are a structured, outcome-oriented professional with strong discipline. You have the confidence to work across functions and levels of seniority and are comfortable operating in ambiguity, recognise when decisions or escalation are required, and bring clarity and follow-through to complex delivery environments.
