Description

Role Purpose The Executive Director – MMC & Delivery Learning Systems is responsible for institutionalising innovation and structured learning across the Qiddiya City Programme. The role leads two strategic programme enablers: Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) – to enhance productivity, scalability, quality consistency, safety, and delivery predictability. Delivery Learning & Knowledge Systems – to reduce systemic repeat failures, accelerate decision-making, and embed institutional delivery intelligence across Business Units (BUs). Operating at programme scale, the role ensures that Qiddiya moves from fragmented project-based execution toward structured, repeatable, and performance-driven delivery systems. Strategic Mandate A. Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) Define and steer Qiddiya’s MMC ambition, roadmap, and governance framework. Identify scalable MMC opportunities across asset typologies. Establish standards, decision pathways, and adoption frameworks to enable BU implementation. Align with Procurement and Supply Chain to support manufacturing agreements and market feasibility. Translate pilot outcomes into institutionalised standards and repeatable playbooks. Monitor measurable impact on cost, schedule, quality, HSE, and sustainability performance. The role does not replace BU delivery accountability; it enables structured and scalable adoption across the programme. Delivery Learning & Knowledge Systems Establish and govern a structured delivery knowledge-sharing system across the Qiddiya programme. Institutionalise lessons learned, best practices, and repeatable standards. Create cross-BU transparency mechanisms to reduce duplication and rework. Implement structured feedback loops between Delivery, Logistics, Engineering, Procurement, and Commercial functions. Embed a culture of constructive transparency, where learning accelerates performance rather than assigning blame. Knowledge sharing is positioned as a performance accelerator and delivery control mechanism — not documentation. Key Accountabilities Provide executive leadership for MMC and Delivery Learning initiatives in alignment with SDU mandate and TOM. Translate systemic delivery risks and recurring failure patterns into structured institutional solutions. Secure executive alignment and approvals for frameworks, governance models, and scaling strategies. Ensure integration across Delivery, Procurement, Engineering/Design, Logistics, Commercial, and Digital functions. Drive measurable improvements in delivery predictability, productivity, and cross-BU coordination. Success Measures MMC Demonstrable adoption of MMC solutions on eligible assets. Improved schedule confidence and delivery consistency. Established supplier/manufacturing pathways supporting scalable adoption. Measurable performance gains on pilot implementations. Delivery Learning Reduction in repeat systemic issues and avoidable rework. Increased cross-BU coordination and visibility. Sustained platform adoption and knowledge reuse. Faster issue resolution cycles across delivery ecosystem. Stakeholder Environment Internal: SDU Leadership; BU Delivery Directors; CDU/Implementation; Engineering/Design; Procurement & Supply Chain; Logistics; Commercial/Contracts; Digital/IT; People & Culture. External: Delivery partners; Tier 1 contractors; modular/offsite manufacturers; technology providers; specialist consultants; supply chain ecosystem. Profile Requirements This role requires a senior international development and delivery executive with demonstrated experience leading major programmes or large-scale master developments. Experience Minimum 18 years’ progressive experience in international real estate development, infrastructure, or complex construction environments. Proven leadership in multi-asset or giga-project settings with concurrent project portfolios. Experience operating in high-growth, high-complexity environments (e.g., national transformation or large urban developments). Demonstrated exposure to construction innovation, industrialised construction, modular delivery, or transformation initiatives at scale. Experience engaging senior executive committees and securing approval for strategic frameworks. Strong understanding of programme governance, stage-gate processes, and cross-functional integration. Track record interfacing with contractors, manufacturers, consultants, and supply chain ecosystems. Role Positioning Summary This is a programme capability and transformation role designed to: Enable scalable construction innovation (MMC). Institutionalise delivery learning across Business Units. Improve predictability and performance at programme scale. The Executive Director operates as a strategic enabler — strengthening delivery maturity, governance capability, and structured transparency across the Qiddiya City Programme.
