About the Role
Our client is entering the Middle East and is seeking a Back Office Manager to build and lead core support functions across Finance, HR, Legal, and Logistics.

-
Excellent communication and stakeholder management across multicultural teams.
-
Hands-on, solution-driven mindset — comfortable working in fast-paced, high-growth environments.
