<section><p class="heading jdMain">Job Description</p><p class="heading">Roles &amp; Responsibilities</p><div class="paragraph"><p><strong>POSITION SUMMARY</strong><br>The Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) provides strategic leadership, direction, and oversight across ITHCA Group and its portfolio of subsidiaries, investees, and joint ventures. The GCEO s mandate is to develop new industries in the technology and digital economy sector in a financially sustainable manner building a portfolio of long-term, strategically significant investments that advance Oman Vision 2040 and the national digital economy, in alignment with OIA s strategic direction. Reporting directly to the Board of Directors, the GCEO is responsible for defining and executing the Group s vision, investment strategy, and operating plans; ensuring robust governance and accountability; originating and managing strategic partnerships; optimizing portfolio value and returns; and positioning ITHCA as Oman s leading platform for participation in future emerging-technology value chains, in close coordination with the Oman Investment Authority (OIA) and key stakeholders. The role requires a visionary, results-oriented investor-leader who governs through strategy, capital allocation, and oversight, with a focus on creating new industries for Oman in the technology and digital-economy sector empowering subsidiaries and investees with operational autonomy within an agreed framework rather than intervening directly in day-to-day operations and who integrates commercial returns with national impact, innovation, and digital sovereignty. Accountability is clearly delineated: the GCEO is accountable for portfolio performance, strategic direction, and capital allocation, while subsidiary CEOs remain accountable for the operational execution of their respective businesses.</p><p><strong>KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:</strong></p><p><strong>Strategic Leadership and Governance</strong><br>Define and articulate ITHCA s vision, mission, and long-term investment strategy in alignment with national technology and digital-economy priorities, OIA s direction, and the guidance of the Board.

Establish and enforce group-wide governance frameworks, policies, compliance systems, and accountability mechanisms across all subsidiaries, investees, and joint ventures. Secure strategic alignment between the Group, OIA, and the Board on all major investment, divestment, and capital decisions. Ensure transparency and timely reporting to the Board and its committees, including Executive, Audit &amp; Risk, and Investment committees.</p><p><strong>Portfolio Value Creation and Operational Governance</strong><br>Develop and execute portfolio value-creation initiatives to improve operational performance, commercial growth, technology capabilities, and enterprise value across the Group. Govern through a holding-company model providing strategic guidance, oversight, and direction while empowering portfolio companies with operational autonomy within an agreed framework. Exercise shareholder oversight through subsidiary Boards, governance frameworks, and performance management. Monitor the strategic, financial, and operational performance of subsidiaries, investees, and joint ventures against approved KPIs (e.g., ROI, EBITDA), intervening only where performance or risk thresholds require. Identify, enable, and leverage synergies, economies of scale, and best practice sharing across the Group and its portfolio. Establish a clear delegation of authority so that operational decisions sit with subsidiary leadership while strategic, investment, and capital decisions are governed at Group level. Ensure consistent group-wide standards for risk management, cybersecurity, due diligence, and quality of investment execution.</p><p><strong>Portfolio, Investment and Financial Stewardship</strong><br>Define the Group s investment thesis and lead portfolio construction across long-term, strategically significant technology and emerging technology assets. Lead the origination, strategic analysis, and execution of major acquisitions, divestments, and entry/exit decisions, providing formal recommendations to the Board / Investment Committee for approval. Govern portfolio-level capital allocation with disciplined, risk-adjusted return criteria; review and challenge asset-level business plans and significant capital requests for alignment with the overarching portfolio strategy.
