Role Purpose The Executive Director - MMC & Delivery Learning Systems is responsible for institutionalising innovation and structured learning across the Qiddiya City Programme. The role leads two strategic programme enablers: - Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) - to enhance productivity, scalability, quality consistency, safety, and delivery predictability - Delivery Learning & Knowledge Systems - to reduce systemic repeat failures, accelerate decision-making, and embed institutional delivery intelligence across Business Units (BUs) Operating at programme scale, the role ensures that Qiddiya moves from fragmented project-based execution toward structured, repeatable, and performance-driven delivery systems.
