  2. Experience: Minimum of 8 years of experience in stakeholder management, public relations, or community engagement, preferably in the transport and infrastructure sector. Experience working with government entities and diverse stakeholder groups is highly advantageous.
  3. Knowledge: Strong understanding of stakeholder management principles, public relations strategies, and community engagement practices. Familiarity with transport and infrastructure projects, regulatory requirements, and government processes in Saudi Arabia.
  4. Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English and Arabic. Ability to tailor communication to different stakeholder groups and effectively convey complex information.
  5. Relationship Building: Proven track record in building and maintaining positive relationships with diverse stakeholders. Ability to influence and negotiate effectively, manage conflicts, and facilitate consensus among stakeholders.
  6. Strategic Thinking: Ability to develop and implement strategic stakeholder engagement plans aligned with project goals. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to anticipate and address stakeholder concerns.
