Employee Experience & Engagement
  • Deliver a high-value experience from Day 1, welcoming, informed, and empowering.
  • Collaborate with managers on 30-60-90 day goals and development plans.
  • Organize internal events and engagement activities that reinforce our values.
  • Conduct exit interviews and use insights to improve the employee journey.
  • Champion Tarabut’s culture in Riyadh and help unify the experience across locations.

  • Provide regular reports to the Head of HR and country leadership.
  • Use data to identify opportunities for process improvement and experience enhancement.

  • Deep understanding of Saudi labour law, visas, compensation, and compliance.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
