Prokura Middle East – Project Manager

Who Are We?

Prokura is a leading consultancy within the Kearney Group, dedicated to Strategic Procurement and Supply Chain. We have established offices located in Denmark, Norway, Germany, UK, France, Japan, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia.

Our 150+ consultants bring world-class expertise to clients across industries. Our projects range from strategy to direct optimization, including procurement organization setup, category optimization, and fast-impact bottom-line support.

What to expect

As a Manager in our Middle East team, you will lead procurement and supply chain transformation projects from diagnosis through implementation, shape ambiguous client problems, develop junior consultants, engage senior stakeholders, and contribute to building Prokura’s presence in one of the most dynamic procurement and supply chain markets globally.

You will work on high-impact topics such as procurement transformation, category strategy, local content, capital and infrastructure projects, supply chain optimisation, operating model design, digital procurement, AI-enabled analytics, and value delivery.

• Own client workstreams and projects, managing day-to-day relationships with senior stakeholders.

• Structure complex problems, lead analysis, and translate insights into practical recommendations and implementation plans.

• Drive measurable value delivery across cost reduction, working capital, supplier performance, operational efficiency, and capability-building.

• Manage and coach consultants and analysts, ensuring high-quality outputs and strong team development.

• Develop executive-ready materials, including business cases, steering committee updates, roadmaps, and value tracking.

• Contribute to proposals, solution design, and business development as we grow Prokura’s Middle East platform.

• Work with Prokura and Kearney teams across geographies, combining specialist depth with broader transformation capability.

This is a role for someone who is looking for a step change in responsibility: client ownership, team leadership, implementation impact, and the opportunity to help shape a fast-growing specialist consultancy in the region.

Your profile

We are looking for candidates who bring strong consulting fundamentals, procurement and supply chain expertise, and the ambition to help build a growing Middle East business.

You will likely have:

• 6–9+ years of relevant professional experience in management consulting, procurement transformation, supply chain transformation, strategic sourcing, category management, operating model design, or value creation.

• Prior consulting experience from a top-tier, Big 4, strategy / operations, or specialist procurement / supply chain consultancy.

• Experience leading workstreams or small projects, managing client stakeholders, and delivering high-quality consulting outputs.

• Functional depth in one or more areas such as procurement transformation, strategic sourcing, category excellence, supplier management, P2P, supply chain planning, inventory optimisation, digital procurement, or operating model design.

• Strong analytical skills, structured problem solving, and the ability to turn complex data into clear recommendations and executive-level narratives.

• Experience in implementation, value tracking, or transformation delivery, with a focus on measurable client impact.

• Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trust with clients and develop junior team members.

• An entrepreneurial mindset and appetite to contribute to the growth of Prokura Middle East.

• Fluency in English, both written and spoken.

Arabic language skills and prior experience in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, or the broader Middle East are strong advantages.

Experience with digital procurement tools, advanced analytics, automation, or AI-enabled transformation is also highly valued.
