About the Role
Husaak Adventures is the exclusive operator of
the Ala Khutah heritage tourism project—a 470 km route retracing the
Prophet's ﷺ historic migration from Makkah to Madinah. This is a flagship
initiative under Vision 2030, targeting 1M visitors annually across a 5-month
season.
We're looking for an Operations Lead to
lead the execution of this high-profile, complex project. This is not a desk
job. You'll be in the field coordinating vendors, managing hub operations,
ensuring quality standards, and making sure things actually get done. You'll
work directly with the Program Director and take ownership of day-to-day
operational delivery so the project runs like a well-oiled machine.
If you thrive in dynamic, fast-paced
environments and can turn plans into reality without hand-holding, this is your
opportunity to be part of something nationally significant.
What You'll Own
Field Operations & Execution
- Oversee daily operations across 3 main hubs
- Coordinate logistics for walking expeditions, 4x4 tours, and hub-based experiences
- Follow up on route scouting, trip testing, and experience validation in the field
- Ensure operational readiness: vehicles, equipment, staff, safety protocols
- Manage relationships with food vendors, vehicle providers, equipment suppliers, and contractors
- Negotiate service agreements and ensure vendors meet quality and timeline commitments
- Coordinate procurement, delivery schedules, and on-site logistics
- Supervise junior operations staff and set clear expectations for outputs
- Establish quality standards and tone for lead guides and experience presenters
- Build and maintain operational documentation: SOPs, checklists, run sheets, logs
- Troubleshoot operational issues in real time: vehicles, staffing, guest flow, safety incidents
- Ensure smooth handoffs between hubs, route teams, and experience activations
- Report progress, blockers, and performance metrics to the Program Director
Who You Are
Must-Haves:
- ~ 5 years in operations, logistics, or field project management (tourism, hospitality, events, or large-scale projects preferred)
- Proven ability to manage vendors, logistics, and cross-functional teams in complex environments
- Self-starter who doesn't need micromanagement: you see what needs to happen and make it happen
- Comfortable working in remote, rugged environments (desert, outdoor conditions)
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail without losing sight of the big picture
- Fluent in Arabic and English (written and spoken)
- Saudi national preferred (familiar with local suppliers, regulations, cultural context)
- Mobile and flexible: willing to travel frequently between Jeddah and Madinah region
- Experience in heritage tourism, outdoor expeditions, or destination operations
- Background in hospitality, adventure tourism, or large-scale event operations
- Familiarity with risk management, safety protocols, and guest experience standards
- Someone who needs detailed instructions for every task
- Purely office-based or uncomfortable in field environments
- Looking for a 9-to-5 with minimal travel
- High-impact role on a nationally significant Vision 2030 project
- Direct collaboration with the Program Director and Husaak leadership
- Opportunity to shape operational standards for a flagship heritage tourism destination
- Competitive salary (mid-level, commensurate with experience)
- Based in Jeddah with regular field deployment to project hubs
