Senior Legal Advisor
RETALJob Description
Job Summary
We are seeking a strategic Legal Counsel – Major Projects & Corporate to serve as a primary legal architect for the organization’s multi-billion SAR portfolio.

You will be the legal bridge between our investment ambitions and operational reality, ensuring robust commercial protection across our hotel, sports club, and residential assets.
Beyond transaction management, you will function as a corporate guardian, conducting comprehensive risk assessments and managing the corporate governance of our project subsidiaries. You will be responsible for drafting and finalizing critical commercial frameworks—including MOUs, Heads of Terms, Club Management Agreements, and FIDIC-based construction suites—ensuring every agreement aligns with Retal’s long-term strategic vision.
We are looking for a proactive "Business Partner" who looks beyond the contract clauses to understand the commercial reality. You are a bilingual problem-solver who can navigate the complexities of Saudi Real Estate laws and international operator agreements with equal fluency. You have the confidence to negotiate with global partners and the technical precision to draft watertight agreements that protect our interests for decades to come.
