Project Management Coordinator

About the role
The Project Management Coordinator position is designed to support our ongoing work with a leading logistics provider based in Dubai. This role serves as the central point for tracking mandate progress and ensuring that our internal analysis aligns with client timelines. By managing the administrative and organizational layers of our engagement, the coordinator allows our principals to focus on providing direct, independent advice.

About Arabian Private Holdings
We founded Arabian Private Holdings on the belief that traditional consulting models often fail to address the specific needs of large family groups and government entities. Our firm operates without the overhead of massive associate teams or complex methodologies. Instead, we take on a limited number of mandates where our principals can remain directly accountable for every result. We focus on corporate strategy, governance, and operating model efficiency. Our firm is fully remote, which allows us to prioritize the quality of our analysis and the strength of our relationships over physical office presence. Clarity is our priority, and we choose to work only on projects where we can offer a rigorous, independent view.

What you will do

• Coordinate the daily flow of information for our engagement with the logistics provider, ensuring all updates are captured and distributed.
• Maintain project schedules and track the completion of milestones across different workstreams within the mandate.
• Assist in organizing data from portfolio companies to help our team form a view on their current operating models.
• Monitor governance requirements for client entities and flag any deviations from the agreed project plan.
• Prepare meeting summaries and documentation that clearly articulate the decisions made by the principals and client board members.
• Conduct basic research into regional logistics trends to support our strategy development.
• Manage the internal knowledge base for the project, ensuring all files and records are logically archived and easily accessible.
• Liaise with client teams to gather necessary information while maintaining the professional standards of the firm.

What we are looking for

• Strong written precision and the ability to explain complex schedules in plain English.
• A logical approach to problem solving and the curiosity needed to understand the mechanics of a logistics operation.
• The ability to stay organized in a remote environment without the need for constant supervision.
• Basic familiarity with project management tools and spreadsheets for tracking tasks and deadlines.
• A professional manner that reflects the sober and direct tone of our firm.
• Academic background or project experience that demonstrates a capacity for rigorous analysis and attention to detail.

How we work
As a remote firm, we rely on clear communication and high levels of personal accountability. We do not value long hours for their own sake, but we do value the ability to deliver accurate work on time. Our structure is principal-led, meaning entry-level coordinators receive direct mentorship from experienced partners rather than being managed by layers of middle management. We operate with transparency and expect everyone to be direct about what they know and what they do not know. This approach allows us to maintain a flat structure where the focus remains entirely on solving the client problem through performance and logic.

What the role offers

• Attractive and competitive pay for an entry-level position within the project management sector.
• Direct exposure to the governance and strategy challenges of a major regional logistics firm.
• A permanent, full-time position that is entirely remote, offering flexibility in your work environment.
• Mentorship from principals who have held senior roles in government and private industry.
• The chance to build foundational skills in operating model design and corporate strategy.
• A work culture that prioritizes clarity, honesty, and professional rigor over corporate jargon.
