Operations Director

Dubai, UAE

About the Role

The Operations Director is the backbone of Saqr Academy. You'll turn our vision into a functioning, scalable, high-quality institution. This is a builder role for someone who loves structure, systems and excellence.

You'll design the student experience from the ground up. You'll hire faculty, manage venues and create processes that allow our academy to run with precision. When something breaks, you fix the system. When something is unclear, you create the playbook.

You'll work directly with the founder and operate with full ownership of your domain. You're not inheriting a manual. You're writing it.

How We Work

Faith Over Fear

Set goals that feel impossible, then move toward them anyway. Believe in your ability to learn, to build, to figure it out. We don't shrink from hard odds. We face them and find a way through.

Excellence as Default

We hold a high bar because the work represents who we are. Details matter. Deadlines matter. Doing it right the first time matters. We don't cut corners and we don't make excuses.

Candor With Kindness

We tell the truth because we respect each other too much to pretend. More than that, we treat one another with kindness and dignity. We want people to thrive here, not just perform.
