* We're specifically looking for a Smart City Program Manager who is either based in the United States with the ability to work without visa sponsorship and is open to relocating to Saudi Arabia, or someone who is already based in Saudi Arabia and comfortable working on-site in Dammam.

As an AWS Smart City Program Manager Consultant for AG Consulting Partners, a typical day might include the following:

• Leading end-to-end execution of complex Smart City programs across infrastructure, energy, transportation, and safety
• Coordinating stakeholders including local governments, vendors, service providers, and internal product and engineering teams
• Overseeing the deployment of IoT-enabled systems such as intelligent lighting, smart mobility, surveillance, energy management, and digital twin platforms
• Developing program governance models, KPIs, and reporting structures to track delivery, performance, and impact
• Ensuring compliance with smart city standards (e.g., ISO 37120/37122), sustainability targets, and data security protocols
• Managing budgets, forecasts, and resource allocations to ensure cost-effective program execution
• Driving data-informed decision making through real-time analytics, performance insights, and optimization strategies
• Ensuring project milestones are achieved on schedule and within budget, while navigating a complex regulatory and stakeholder landscape

• You’re confident working cross-functionally with global and government stakeholders to align technical execution with public needs
• You have strong organizational and time management skills, balancing strategic goals with day-to-day project execution
• You’re proactive and take full ownership of your work — you're comfortable leading programs without constant direction
• You have a collaborative leadership style that builds trust, fosters innovation, and drives clarity
• You communicate with professionalism, clarity, and confidence, whether reporting to an executive or aligning with a vendor
• You’re a problem solver who thrives on untangling complexity and turning vision into results
• You are calm under pressure, comfortable in ambiguity, and quick to adapt when project dynamics shift

You have:

• 15+ years of experience in program or project management, including 5+ years managing urban or smart city–related initiatives
• Proven track record of delivering multi-stakeholder, technology-enabled infrastructure projects
• Strong understanding of Smart City technologies, including IoT, AI/ML, cloud solutions, public safety systems, and digital twin platforms
• Experience collaborating with city agencies, government partners, and private-sector technology vendors
• Familiarity with regulatory and sustainability frameworks including ISO 37120/37122, urban safety standards, and cybersecurity best practices
• Excellent communication, leadership, and decision-making skills
• Proficiency in project and resource management tools (e.g., JIRA, MS Project, Confluence)
• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in engineering, urban planning, smart infrastructure, or related field

You might also have:

• PMP, Smart Cities Professional Certification, or other relevant project management credentials
• Background in digital transformation, enterprise system integration, or data governance
