HR Operations Officer

<div>
 
 A new financial markets infrastructure venture is being established in Oman, backed by prominent institutional investors and operating under an international common law framework. The platform is being built from scratch, to go-live in 2027, and is designed to operate as a regulated financial market infrastructure from day one
 
 
 
 
 
 We are hiring two Business Analysts to sit at the engine room of the programme. A regulated financial market infrastructure being built from a blank sheet generates an enormous volume of design, process, and operational documentation that needs to be produced, standardised, kept current, and used to drive downstream artefacts including test plans, training materials, runbooks, and regulatory submissions.
 
 
 
 
 
 This programme operates as a highly AI-leveraged programme office, with Claude adopted as the standard productivity tool. The Business Analyst is the human who knows the business, knows the documentation standards, prompts Claude well, and rigorously checks and refines its output. The principle is clear: AI is the servant, never the master. Human accountability for accuracy, judgement, and domain interpretation is non-negotiable.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 What the role covers
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Producing, structuring, and maintaining the programme's delivery documentation: process maps, workflow diagrams, design documents, decision logs, operational procedures, runbook drafts, training materials, and papers
 </li>
 <li>
 Driving consistency of documentation across the programme: common templates, terminology, structure, and version control
 </li>
 <li>
 Operating as a skilled user of Claude: prompting effectively, iterating, refining, and treating AI output as a first draft to be improved, never as a finished product
 </li>
 <li>
 Identifying opportunities to use AI to compress effort across the programme, for example generating test plans from design documents or training material from runbooks
 </li>
 <li>
 Mapping current-state and target-state processes across the operating model in collaboration with the Product Owner, Operations Lead, Head of Operations Control, and other business owners
 </li>
 <li>
 Maintaining the programme RAID log; supporting the Project Manager on plan maintenance, dependency tracking, and status reporting
 </li>
 <li>
 Generating test artefacts from upstream design documentation: test plans, test cases, test data requirements, and traceability matrices
 </li>
 <li>
 Absorbing domain knowledge actively: how a CSD works, how settlement happens, how registry is maintained, how corporate actions flow, and what the regulator requires
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 
 
 
 Who we are looking for
 
 
 
 At least three years in a business analyst, process analyst, or documentation-heavy role, ideally in financial services or another regulated industry. Strong process mapping and documentation skills: able to translate verbal discussion into clear, structured written output.
 
 
 
 
 
 Fast learner: able to absorb new domain knowledge quickly and use it accurately. High proficiency in Microsoft Office and standard process-mapping tools (Visio, Lucidchart, Miro, or equivalent). Fluent in English.
 
 
 
 
 
 Demonstrable, hands-on fluency with Claude or equivalent large language models as a productivity multiplier in real work is required. Candidates should be able to describe specific examples. Candidates without prior Claude experience but with strong evidence of fast AI adoption will be considered.
 
 
 
 
 
 Exposure to financial market infrastructure or capital markets and post-trade processes is an advantage. So is experience producing documentation subject to regulatory inspection or external audit.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 What this is
 
 
 
 This is a hands-on, productive role for fast learners who want to operate at the frontier of how a modern programme office works. The post-holder will not be a passive note-taker. They will be expected to absorb domain knowledge quickly, drive their own work, and continuously raise the standard and consistency of programme documentation. If that is the way you work and you have the AI fluency and documentation discipline to back it up, this is worth a conversation.

 The opportunity
 
 
 
 A new financial markets infrastructure venture is being established in Oman, backed by prominent institutional investors and operating under an international common law framework. This is a build-stage organisation growing to approximately fifty people over its first two years, and it needs someone to build and run the entire corporate infrastructure from the ground up.
 
 
 We are hiring a Head of Corporate Services to own premises, HR, finance back-office, corporate IT, travel, and governance administration as a single integrated function. This is not a supervisory role over a team of specialists. It is a working post: the person we are looking for remains personally involved in the work, makes the decisions, and is accountable for the outcomes regardless of whether they are delivered through direct staff or outsourced providers.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 What the role covers
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Sourcing, negotiating, and managing the Company's office lease and fit-out; ongoing facilities management and physical security
 </li>
 <li>
 Payroll, benefits, leave, expense systems, and visa and immigration administration for all staff and dependants
 </li>
 <li>
 Drafting and enforcing the employee handbook and HR policies; compliance with Omani Labour Law and Omanisation requirements
 </li>
 <li>
 Selecting and managing external accountants, auditors, and tax advisors; bookkeeping, AP, AR, and cash management; establishing and managing banking relationships
 </li>
 <li>
 Corporate IT: end-user devices, M365 administration, identity management, IT support, and cybersecurity for corporate systems
 </li>
 <li>
 Owning the corporate travel policy; managing the travel agency and duty-of-care arrangements for travelling staff
 </li>
 <li>
 Maintaining statutory records and registers; coordinating Board and committee meetings; filing statutory returns; managing the corporate insurance programme
 </li>
 <li>
 Maintaining the master vendor and contract register; negotiating, renewing, and terminating corporate service contracts
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 
 
 
 Who we are looking for
 
 
 
 At least 10 years in corporate services, operations, or general management roles, with at least five years at senior level. A demonstrable track record of leading a small, multi-disciplinary corporate function, not solely managing large departments staffed by specialists. Proven experience either establishing a regulated financial entity in Oman or the GCC, or leading the corporate function of an existing regulated entity of comparable size. Working knowledge of Omani Labour Law, immigration procedures, and corporate regulations. Demonstrated capability across multiple disciplines concurrently: premises, HR, finance, IT, and governance. Fluent in Arabic and English, written and spoken.
 
 
 Experience in a financial market infrastructure, bank, or other regulated financial services entity is an advantage as is operating in a greenfield environment.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 What this is
 
 
 
 On day one, the office does not exist, the payroll has not been run, the banking has not been established, and the IT has not been deployed. Within twelve months, all of it needs to be running to the standard of an international regulated institution. The person who takes this role will have built it. If that is the kind of challenge you are looking for, and you have the breadth of experience to deliver it, this is worth a conversation.
