Head of Operations

Manzil is the leading co-living and transportation platform for blue-collar workers in Saudi Arabia, offering tech-powered, affordable, and dignified housing options at scale. Through our hybrid model, subleasing, building, and a C2B marketplace — we help companies house and move their workers without operational headaches, while unlocking income for landlords and real estate owners.

Description

The Head of Operations will own end-to-end operations across Mnzil’s portfolio, overseeing property onboarding, operational readiness, day-to-day performance, and service delivery standards. This role is responsible for building and scaling operational playbooks across leasing, facilities management, housekeeping, security, and tenant experience, while leading and structuring multi-city operations teams and third-party vendors with clear KPIs, SLAs, and accountability. The role will drive property-level unit economics through cost control, margin optimization, yield improvement, and churn reduction, ensure operational readiness for new launches across buildings and cities, implement systems to track performance and incidents, manage vendor contracts and benchmarking, and ensure full compliance with local regulations, health & safety standards, and landlord–tenant contractual obligations.

Requirements

• 8+ years of operations leadership experience in real estate, hospitality, facilities management, or asset heavy multi site businesses

• Strong understanding of unit economics, cost structures, and margin management at property or site level
• Hands-on experience building processes, SOPs, KPIs, and SLAs from scratch
• Demonstrated ability to lead large, on-ground teams and manage multiple third-party vendors
