Overview
At Qiddiya Investment Company, we are shaping a landmark destination redefining entertainment, culture and hospitality in the Kingdom.
The Hospitality Business Unit is developing a portfolio of hotel assets central to this vision.
As these assets progress, we are seeking experienced professionals to ensure operational excellence is embedded throughout the planning and design process.
In this role, you will lead the operational planning and design development of all hotels operating areas related to the guest accommodation experience.
Working from the earliest project stages, you will translate operational requirements into efficient, guest-centric design solutions that optimize both the guest journey and hotel operations.

- Develop operational planning standards and benchmark projects against industry best practices
- Partner with hotel operators to interpret brand standards and operational requirements while ensuring alignment with Qiddiya's vision and asset strategy
