Industry knowledge: Solid grasp of construction workflows, site operations, or common industry pain points to effectively build and deploy relevant tech solutions.

Tools: High proficiency with project management and development tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Trello, Asana, MS Project).

Language: Excellent communication and presentation skills in English.

Mobility: Willingness to relocate to Saudi Arabia (if not already based there).

Nice to have:
