## Description

**The opportunity**

A new financial markets infrastructure venture is being established in Oman, backed by prominent institutional investors and operating under an international common law framework. This is a build-stage organisation: a small, senior team constructing something genuinely new, from the ground up, to an institutional standard.

We are hiring a Corporate Services Officer to be the operational backbone of the office. This is not a role for someone who wants to wait to be asked. The person we are looking for anticipates what is needed, takes ownership of their environment, and delivers a standard of service that reflects the calibre of the institution being built.

**What the role covers**

-   Managing the office environment so that it functions without interruption and presents professionally at all times
-   Receiving and hosting visitors to the standard expected of an international financial institution
-   Booking and administering staff business travel: flights, hotels, ground transport, visas, and itineraries
-   Coordinating inbound visitor logistics including transfers, accommodation, and meeting schedules
-   Providing logistical support for Board and committee meetings, including papers, minutes, and action tracking
-   Procuring office supplies and managing relationships with facilities providers, couriers, and the corporate travel agency
-   Providing flexible support across the Corporate Services team and covering colleagues during absences

## Requirements

**Who we are looking for**

At least three years in an office management, executive assistant, or corporate services role. Experience in a customer-facing or front-of-house environment, with a genuine instinct for hospitality. Confident booking and administering corporate travel, applying policy and escalating exceptions appropriately. Strong organiser: comfortable managing multiple workstreams at once without losing the detail. Fluent in Arabic and English, written and spoken.

Experience in a regulated financial services or professional services environment is an advantage. So is prior experience in a small firm or build-stage business where the environment moves quickly and the job description does not cover everything.

**What this is**

This is a founding-team role at an institution that does not exist yet in its finished form. The work is real, the pace is real, and the standard expected is high. If you are looking for a stable, well-defined job in a large organisation, this is probably not it. If you want to be part of building something from the start, and to be trusted to run your part of it properly, this is worth a conversation.
