BACKGROUND

RISE Public Private Initiatives (PPI) is an independent strategic advisory firm based in Dubai, Riyadh, and Jeddah. We work with governments, businesses, and investors to solve the region’s most pressing challenges by providing a range of services tailored specifically toward achieving results, because results matter. We specialize in creating strategic opportunities for revenue generation through the commercialization of public assets while offsetting costs through developing and implementing sustainable commercial partnerships and PPP models.

Since our establishment in 2014, we have facilitated over SAR 17 billion in transactional and transformational value for both government and private sector clients.

We are seeking to appoint consultants with 1-3 years’ experience in our PPI practice. We are seeking passionate, skilled, and knowledgeable people that want to join our dynamic, growing independent firm. KSA nationals are encouraged to apply, and Arabic proficiency is preferred.

The right candidates will have a passion for, and interest in, consultancy and problem-solving, and they will understand the GCC and the role these industries play in the region’s economic outlook. We’re looking for experience in consulting and/or leading projects in relevant contexts, relevant undergraduate and post-graduate training, and applied client-facing skills, including presenting, creating engaging reports, and highly evolved analytical skills. Experience in the consulting sector is a must, with skills across asset valuation, market research, benchmarking, and data analysis.

Senior applicants should understand the commercial realities of growing a business, including business development, strategic planning, budgeting, team, and performance management. They will be experienced leaders, with sound judgment and be able to evidence having balanced multiple priorities to achieve financial targets. We’re also looking for aspiring junior and mid-level entrants who see leadership, business development, and a pathway to new opportunities as part of their immediate future.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Our Consulting team members are generally client-facing; they engage in long-term and short-term projects. They support with the development of new business, responding to RFPs, and creating new engagements.

RISE consultants work for public sector, government, and private sector clients, and we expect them to understand the differing requirements of each. As a strategic advisory firm, our teams work closely together in collaborative projects with very clearly defined outcomes. Line management is definitely a requirement for senior applicants; however, we expect all team members to aspire to lead and live the values that drive our business.

Attention to detail, rigor, a love of data, and exceptional written and verbal skills, including reasoning, are a must. We provide a lot of support and development, including mentoring, but you can expect to use a wide range of IT applications and be able to build outstanding reports and proposals.
