## 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.

-   Renewal of the Company's commercial registration, Chamber of Commerce certificate, and related corporate filings

-   Collection and submission of documents to and from ministries, authorities, and embassies

## Requirements

**Who we are looking for**

At least five years as a PRO in Oman, ideally within a regulated financial services or international corporate environment. Comprehensive working knowledge of Omani immigration, labour, and corporate registration procedures. Established working relationships with the relevant ministries and authorities. Valid Omani driving licence. Fluent in Arabic; working English written and spoken.

Familiarity with authority procedures in an international financial centre context and prior experience supporting an international workforce with diverse nationalities are both advantages.

**What this is**

This is a founding-team role at an institution that will employ an international workforce from the point of launch. The PRO function needs to be running without gaps from day one. If you have the procedural mastery and the established authority relationships to deliver that, this is worth a conversation.
