Edelman is looking for a Director, Corporate Communications to join our growing team in Riyadh. This is a unique opportunity to lead integrated communications for high-profile regional and global clients, delivering bold ideas and business impact in one of the world’s most dynamic markets.

We’re seeking a seasoned communicator who brings strategic rigor, cultural fluency, and a passion for purpose-driven storytelling. You’ll help organizations navigate complex reputational landscapes, shape narratives, and build trust with the audiences that matter most.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead strategic corporate communications programs across sectors such as government, finance, or technology.
  • Serve as a trusted client advisor—anticipating challenges, providing strategic counsel, and building long-term relationships.
  • Develop and oversee integrated campaigns spanning media relations, thought leadership, crisis and issues management, stakeholder engagement, and executive visibility.
  • Inspire and guide a high-performing team through coaching, development, and collaboration.
  • Cultivate strong media relationships and partnerships to drive earned visibility and influence.
  • Deliver insights-driven communications strategies informed by research, data, and regional intelligence.
  • Contribute to business development and support new client growth opportunities.

What We’re Looking For

  • 12+ years of relevant experience in corporate communications, public relations, or strategic advisory—agency or in-house.
  • Proven track record leading multi-stakeholder campaigns and complex client mandates in the Gulf region.
  • Deep understanding of the media and sociopolitical landscape in Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East.
  • Bilingual fluency in Arabic and English is highly preferred.
  • Strong leadership skills and the ability to mentor and grow junior talent.
  • Confidence managing senior client relationships and delivering C-suite counsel.
  • A collaborative, solutions-oriented mindset with an entrepreneurial spirit.
  • Ability to work across borders with global Edelman teams and capabilities.
  • Why Edelman

  • At Edelman, we’re trust builders. We partner with the world’s most respected companies, institutions, and brands to help them earn and keep trust through communications that spark action and inspire change.
  • We celebrate diverse perspectives and inclusive thinking. Our culture is anchored in curiosity, empathy, and creativity. You’ll join a global team that supports your growth, amplifies your strengths, and champions your ideas.
  • We are proud to be a firm where everyone’s voice matters — because DEIB is everyone’s responsibility, and we expect Edelman colleagues to ensure respectful conduct, embrace diverse cultures, and practice conscious inclusion and continuous learning.
