Principal Consultant – Enterprise Solutions

We are expanding our enterprise solution consulting capabilities in Oman and across the Middle East. We are seeking a highly experienced Principal Consultant to bridge technology architecture with business strategy and measurable impact. This is not a quota-carrying sales role — this is a solution-shaping, deal-enabling, executive-engagement role. You will operate at the intersection of Green Tech, AI, Big Data, IoT, Blockchain, Cloud, Cybersecurity, and smart platforms — translating complex business challenges into scalable, secure, and commercially viable digital solutions.

Critically, Apexone's strategic expansion in Oman will be driven by securing government tender projects. You will lead the end-to-end tender response lifecycle — from identifying opportunities on platforms like Esnad, navigating Oman's Tender Law (Royal Decree 36/2008) and the newly established Authority of Projects, Tenders and Local Content, through to developing winning technical and commercial proposals that comply with strict procurement regulations, In-Country Value (ICV) requirements, and Omanisation mandates.

  • Omanisation Compliance: Ensure all proposals align with Omanisation targets verified through the Esnad electronic tendering system, including compliance with Ministry of Labour mandated percentages for different job grades.

  • Bid Governance & Review: Establish structured review gates for all tender submissions, ensuring technical feasibility, commercial viability, regulatory compliance, and competitive positioning before submission deadlines.

  • Vendor Pre-Qualification & Registration: Manage Apexone's registration and pre-qualification status with government procurement portals, tender boards, and relevant ministries to ensure eligibility for future opportunities.

C. Techno-Commercial Pre-Sales
  • Engage with prospects to understand business objectives and procurement constraints.

  • Translate challenges into structured solution proposals and bill of materials.

  • Prepare comprehensive tender documentation — including technical proposals, BOQs, compliance matrices, pricing schedules, and ICV plans.

D. Business & Strategic Advisory
  • Develop business cases including ROI, TCO, and phased transformation roadmaps.

  • Align technical solutions with client digital transformation agendas — including Oman Vision 2040 objectives for digital transformation and economic diversification.

  • Structure risk-managed transactions that align with government procurement frameworks and budget cycles.

E. Executive Engagement
  • Confidently present to CIO/CTO-level stakeholders and government procurement committees.

  • Influence technical and business decision-making processes.
