Technical Director (Federal Technology) (m/f/d)

Director of PMO (Federal Technology)

We are seeking a Technical Director with a "hands-on" strategic approach to lead the end-to-end deployment of massive-scale Federal Technology infrastructure. Unlike a traditional PMO Lead, this role requires a deep understanding of the technical stack, data sovereignty, and system integration required for Government-to-Government (G2G) and Government-to-Consumer (G2C) platforms.

The Profile: "The Architect of Delivery"

You are not just tracking timelines; you are solving technical bottlenecks. You understand how an API gateway connects a Federal database to a Ministry front-end, and you can lead a team of engineers and architects through the "last mile" of implementation.

Key Requirements

• Location: Currently based in the UAE (Candidates currently in KSA willing to relocate will also be considered).
• Availability: Immediate joiners preferred; maximum 30 days’ notice period.
  
  

Key Technical Requirements:

• Federal Track Record: Must have led the technical rollout of platforms for Federal entities (e.g., Digital Identity, National Data Hubs, or Unified Government Portals).
• Scale: Proven delivery of technical solutions valued at AED 30M ($10M USD) or higher.
• Tech Stack Fluency: Experience with Cloud Infrastructure (Oracle/Azure/AWS Government Cloud), Microservices, Cybersecurity protocols (DESC/NCA compliance), and complex API integrations.
  
  

Core Responsibilities

• Core Responsibilities
• Technical Roadmap Execution: Translate high-level federal mandates into technical execution plans, overseeing the build, test, and "Go-Live" phases.
• System Interoperability: Ensure seamless integration between disparate government legacy systems and new federal digital platforms.
• Security & Compliance: Act as the technical lead for ensuring all implementations meet UAE Signals Intelligence Agency (SIA) or KSA NCA standards.
• Vendor & Engineering Management: Manage technical vendors and internal DevOps/Engineering teams to ensure the code and infrastructure meet government-grade benchmarks.
• Implementation Governance: Move beyond "status reporting" to perform technical audits, code reviews, and infrastructure stress-test oversight.
