Project Manager

About the Role

Are you ready to lead some of the most ambitious entertainment projects in the region? As a Project Manager at CONDUCTR, you’ll sit at the centre of our design and deployment activities across the Middle East, taking projects from creative concept through to onsite delivery.

This isn’t a paper-pushing PM role. You’ll be managing complex design-and-build projects in location-based entertainment, including digital experiences, themed attractions, family entertainment centres, competitive socialising venues, and brand activations. You’ll integrate seamlessly into large-scale construction programmes, working with international clients, consultants, and contractors - many of whom are seasoned project managers themselves.

To succeed, you’ll need to bring both commercial rigour and creative empathy: driving critical paths, stage-gate reviews, programme alignment, and deliverables, while ensuring our design intent and guest experience ambitions are never lost in translation.

About Us

CONDUCTR is a leading creative technology and design studio specialising in immersive entertainment and interactive experiences. We work with global operators, IP owners, and brands to create world-first attractions and competitive socialising products. Our team of designers, technologists, media experts, producers, and engineers fuse creative ambition with technical precision to deliver extraordinary guest experiences worldwide.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end project delivery across immersive attractions, interactive exhibits, social gaming venues, and themed entertainment projects.
• Develop and manage project programmes, including critical path analysis, deliverables tracking, and stage-gate reviews.
• Prepare and deliver client-facing reports, presentations, and updates—demonstrating commercial awareness and control.
• Oversee design coordination and integration with wider construction programmes, ensuring smooth collaboration with architects, consultants, and contractors.
• Manage budgets, forecasts, and QS interactions; track project costs and variations with rigour.
• Lead multi-disciplinary teams (internal and external) across design, media, technology, and installation.
• Conduct regular project meetings—internally, with clients, and with contractors—maintaining accountability across all stakeholders.
• Support procurement and contract management for key suppliers, freelancers, and subcontractors.
• Oversee site activities and ensure high-quality, on-time, on-budget delivery.
• Champion CONDUCTR’s standards for guest experience, safety, and technical excellence.

You should have

• Proven experience delivering design-and-build projects in at least one of: themed entertainment, attractions, AV/technology integration, or live/immersive environments.
• Expert knowledge of project management disciplines: programme management, risk registers, deliverables control, commercial oversight, reporting, and stakeholder management.
• Ability to hold your own in discussions with senior client PMs, QSs, and contractors.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to juggle multiple projects at once.
• Experience producing clear documentation: Gantt charts, RACI matrices, risk registers, client reports.
• Confidence in leading meetings, negotiating, and addressing challenges directly with clients and partners.
• A sharp eye for detail and a commitment to quality, schedule, and budget discipline.
• Comfortable working across different project methodologies (Agile/Waterfall/hybrid).
• Willingness to travel regionally and internationally for client meetings and onsite delivery.
• A collaborative mindset, capable of integrating creative, technical, and operational teams.

It would be great if you have

• Experience in themed entertainment, cruise, hospitality, or immersive experiences.
• Familiarity with large-scale construction environments in the GCC region.
• Experience in business development support and growing new regional business units.
• Interest in cutting-edge media, interactive technology, or experiential design.

What We Offer

• A competitive salary and benefits package.
• The opportunity to deliver landmark projects across the GCC and internationally.
