Senior Business Analyst Product Manager driving digital transformation through requirements governance, product delivery, and leadership.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Business Analyst & Product Manager with 10+ years leading requirements, documentation, and product delivery across government and enterprise digital transformation programs in Saudi Arabia and Egypt. I bridge business and technology to build requirements governance frameworks that keep teams aligned from roadmap planning to sprint-ready delivery.
I’ve led and mentored a 9-person Business Analyst / Product Owner team, delivered requirements and system design for national government transformation programs (Transport, Justice, Education), and created enterprise-wide documentation standards that reduce rework and accelerate stakeholder approvals. I also strengthen delivery quality through backlog prioritization, user stories and epics, and data validation practices across migrations and reporting transitions.
