  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with fluency in English; written and spoken Arabic is an advantage.
  • Strong document-production skills, particularly in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.
  • Experience in legal or another professional-services environment is preferred, although we welcome bidding experience gained in other industries.
