Location: Muscat, Oman (On-site)

Company: Swibit

Employment Type: Full-time

Reports To: Delivery Manager / COO

About Swibit

Swibit is an AI solutions company operating in the MENA region, the UK, and the US. We specialise in delivering high-end consulting and building scalable digital platforms, AI-powered products, and strategic solutions across sectors such as government, public safety, real estate, logistics, education, and public services.

Our model is global design and local execution — combining international expertise with deep local market understanding to deliver impactful, future-ready solutions aligned with national digital transformation visions.

Swibit is actively expanding in Oman, working on strategic engagements with government and enterprise clients in areas including AI consultancy, digital transformation, and technology modernisation — aligned with Oman Vision 2040.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Project Manager to lead the delivery of Swibit's engagements in Oman. You will own the end-to-end execution of technology and consulting projects — from kick-off through to go-live and client acceptance — coordinating distributed engineering teams, managing government and enterprise client relationships, and ensuring Swibit delivers on time, on budget, and to standard.

You will be Swibit's on-the-ground delivery leader in Oman — the person clients call when they need a status update, and the person engineering teams rely on to keep priorities clear.

• Ensure deliverables meet Swibit's quality standards and the Dual Quality Gate process

• Manage scope — identify scope creep early, handle change requests formally, and escalate appropriately

• Coordinate delivery across distributed teams — Oman (on-site), Iraq (engineering), Pakistan (engineering), UK (consulting)

Pre-Sales & Commercial Support

• Support the Business Development team during pre-sales — effort estimation, project scoping, and timeline planning

• Contribute to proposal development with realistic delivery plans and resource models

• Provide input on commercial models, payment milestones, and contractual deliverables

Team Coordination & Process

• Coordinate cross-functional teams — Backend, Frontend, AI, Design, QA, Solution Architecture

• Work with Tech Leads and Solution Architects to align technical decisions with project timelines

• Contribute to process improvement and delivery standards across the organisation
