Vision 2030: the rush for tech talent in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is running one of the world's most ambitious transformations. Vision 2030 mobilises hundreds of billions of dollars and creates unprecedented demand for tech and functional talent.

Giga-projects redefining the country

NEOM, The Line, Qiddiya, Red Sea: these projects require cloud architects, data engineers, cybersecurity experts, but also project directors, business analysts and governance consultants to manage the complexity.

Iqama and Employer of Record

Working in Saudi Arabia requires an iqama (residence permit) and, most often, a local Employer of Record handling employment and compliance. No personal income tax.

Priority sectors

Why now is the time

The skills shortage is pushing pay up. Senior profiles able to engage with executives — functional vision, change management — are the most valued.
