Confidential Employer Lists Strategic Planning and Monitoring Officer Role in Saudi Arabia

Planning, performance tracking and CEO support

The officer would work with the CEO and departments to develop and review the group's strategy, while coordinating annual operational plans across its departments and sectors. The role also calls for studies and analysis to inform strategic decisions.

To track execution, the officer would establish a group-level key performance indicator system, compare results with targets and report progress periodically to the CEO. Monitoring of strategic and operational initiatives and reports would follow directions from the planning committee or the CEO.

The listing sets out two review cycles: monthly executive meetings with departments to discuss implementation and achievement rates, and annual strategic-plan reviews in which assumptions would be updated using actual performance results.

Alongside planning duties, the officer would coordinate correspondence and reports flowing into and out of the CEO's office, prepare executive summaries and meeting presentations, and help the board secretary arrange board meetings when needed. The position also involves keeping the office's archives and files organized and confidential, plus other CEO-assigned tasks that support the workflow.

Qualifications and skills

The job description specifies a bachelor's degree in Business Administration and three years of experience. A separate preferred-candidate field lists a bachelor's degree or higher diploma and labels the career level as management.

Candidates are expected to know how to develop and monitor KPIs, analyze results, produce dashboards and analytical reports, and measure progress against targets. Other technical requirements include preparing and tracking operational plans and initiatives, using Excel proficiently for analysis and reporting, writing executive summaries, and maintaining accurate data and well-organized files.

The employer also seeks an organized, analytical approach, close attention to accuracy, initiative in identifying improvements, and the ability to coordinate across departments. Responsibility for results, professional confidentiality and clear communication are among the listed soft skills.
