Job description

The Opportunity

 

SEAZEN GROUP is a multi-brand restaurant & catering group (40 + locations, 1 500 + staff) pursuing ambitious goals in growth, digital transformation, and operational excellence. Reporting to our Deputy CEO / Chief Strategy & Information Officer, you will turn board-level vision into a prioritized, funded, and insight-driven project portfolio that lands on time, on budget, and with measurable impact.

 

How you’ll make a difference

 

  • Turn strategy into action: translate long-term vision into an executable road-map, cascade OKRs/KPIs and maintain a single source of truth for six GCC markets.
  • Own project & business governance: Establish and maintain the Group PM framework, risk register, and funding stage-gates; ensure auditable compliance with Delegation of Authority.
  • Steer the enterprise portfolio: run prioritization workshops, govern master schedules and resource capacity, and monitor CAPEX/OPEX dashboards with FP&A team.
  • Drive operational excellence & digital transformation: support Lean/Six-Sigma process optimization and partner with Information Capital on ERP, business apps, data-warehouse and automation projects.
  • Elevate performance management: co-lead monthly Senior-Management Reviews with the CSIO, deliver automated Business Intelligence dashboards, and lock in corrective-action owners and deadlines.
  • Prove the value: maintain initiative value registers, track revenue uplift, cost optimization, and NPV, and ensure post-implementation benefit-realization reviews are completed.
  • Lead & develop talent: mentor a multidisciplinary SPMO team and embed a culture of continuous improvement.



Skills

What you bring

 

  • 7–10 years in PMO, strategy-execution, or transformation roles, including 1–3 years in a PMO-leadership, portfolio-governance capacity, or relevant managerial role.
  • PMP or PgMP strongly preferred. PRINCE2 Practitioner, PfMP, MoP, SAFe Agilist, or Certified Scrum Master (CSM) credentials, or demonstrable equivalent governance experience, are also welcome.
  • Lean Six Sigma Green or Black Belt is advantageous.
  • Prosci/ADKAR, Balanced-Scorecard Professional, or similar accreditation valued.
  • Proven delivery of high-value, cross-functional programs in hospitality, F&B, retail, consumer services, or similarly complex multi-unit environments.
  • Hands-on experience with portfolio CAPEX/OPEX tracking and executive-level performance reporting.

 

Why SEAZEN GROUP?

  • Shape the agenda, not just deliver it — own the strategy-execution engine of a regional hospitality pioneer that’s pursuing ambitious growth, digital-transformation, and operational-excellence goals.
  • Strategic architecture & accelerated learning — play a pivotal role in shaping new corporate entities and management structures, sharpen your expertise by planning, designing, and delivering high-impact strategic initiatives, and keep advancing your skills through targeted development programs.
  • Build something that lasts — scale a data-driven PMO, implement best-in-class tools, and embed a culture of disciplined execution and continuous improvement across our markets.
  • C-suite proximity & visibility — report directly to the Deputy CEO/CSIO, brief the Executive Committee, and influence decisions that touch +1,500 employees across six GCC markets.
  • Competitive total-rewards package — tax-free salary, housing & transport allowances, annual bonus, family medical cover, annual airfare, and generous discounts across our brands.
