  • Act as the central point for coordinating communication between different design teams and consultants, ensuring smooth collaboration and resolving any design-related conflicts.
  • Ensure design coherence and alignment with NEOM’s vision for sustainability, innovation, and high-quality urban living.
  • Manage design timelines, deliverables, and quality control to ensure that the project stays on track, while maintaining NEOM’s high standards of excellence.
  • Work closely with the Executive Director of City Design Integration to provide input on strategy, design direction, and integration planning across various phases of development.
  • Support the design management of critical city assets, collaborating with the Design Management team for City Assets to ensure that key infrastructure is integrated into the broader urban design framework.
  • Collaborate with senior leadership, internal teams, and external consultants to drive design integration strategies and address complex design challenges.
  • Mentor and guide team members within City Design Coordination, fostering a collaborative, innovative, and results-driven environment.

What we’re looking for:

  • Extensive experience (25+ years) in architecture, urban planning, or a related field, with a strong track record of leading design coordination efforts on large-scale, complex urban development projects.
  • Exceptional communication and organizational skills, with the ability to coordinate across multiple disciplines and teams.
  • Strong understanding of urban design, infrastructure integration, and public realm design, with a passion for creating cohesive and functional city environments.
  • Proven leadership abilities with experience managing design teams and complex project timelines.
  • Ability to translate visionary goals into practical design solutions, ensuring all elements work together both functionally and aesthetically.
  • Familiarity with sustainable urban design practices, innovative technology integration, and the latest trends in city development.
  • A collaborative mindset, capable of fostering strong relationships and ensuring smooth coordination between internal and external stakeholders.
