The Company is seeking a VP of People to play a pivotal role in scaling the organization with a focus on strategic workforce planning, talent acquisition, and organizational design. The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring that the right people are in the right roles, at the right cost, and will work closely with senior leadership to shape all aspects of the people function, including performance, leadership capability, hiring, culture, and compliance. This role demands a hands-on approach, with a strong emphasis on keeping the organization lean, high-performing, and compliant while supporting rapid business growth. Key responsibilities for the VP of People include owning workforce planning with Finance, leading hiring across all markets, and embedding practical AI use into the people function. The ideal candidate must have a minimum of 12 years' experience in HR, with at least 5 years in a leadership role, and a proven track record in talent acquisition, workforce planning, and organization design. Hands-on knowledge of UAE and KSA labor law is essential, as is experience in building or improving performance, leveling, and reward frameworks. The role also requires strong data skills, a clear understanding of how AI is changing HR, and experience in supporting a company through rapid growth or organizational change. Experience in a regulated sector, particularly within a CBUAE- or SAMA-regulated firm, and working knowledge of another MEA market, is a plus.
