RPA Support Specialist

About the role
This position supports a mandate for an investment group based in Abu that requires increased precision in their portfolio reporting systems. The role exists to maintain the automated processes that handle data flow between their various business units. By ensuring these tools run correctly, you allow the firm to provide the client with clear and honest strategic advice.

About Arabian Private Holdings
Arabian Private Holdings was founded on the principle that many critical business problems do not fit the traditional large firm consulting model. A board facing a succession question or a family group weighing a capital injection does not need a team of twelve associates and a hundred page methodology deck. They need experienced partners who can sit with a problem, form a rigorous view, and defend it. We take on a limited number of mandates to ensure that every client receives direct attention from the principals who are actually accountable for the outcome. Our work covers corporate strategy, governance, and operating model efficiency for some of the most significant family groups, listed corporations, and government entities in the region. We focus on clarity over complexity.

What you will do

• Monitor automated workflows to ensure they complete their daily cycles without errors.
• Identify common failure points in existing scripts and propose simple technical fixes.
• Document the logic behind each automation for the client's internal records and governance audits.
• Support the principal on the Abu investment group mandate by gathering data from automated reports.
• Assist in the testing of new automation scripts in a controlled environment before they are deployed.
• Communicate technical status updates to non technical partners using plain and concise language.
• Analyze process logs to ensure data integrity across various holding company platforms.
• Draft instructional guides for client staff who interact with the automated tools during their workday.

What we are looking for

• A logical mindset that can break down a complex manual task into discrete, repeatable steps.
• Basic familiarity with the logic of software automation or simple scripting concepts.
• Strong written skills with the ability to explain technical problems without using unnecessary jargon.
• Curiosity regarding how large holding companies organize their data and manage their portfolios.
• Willingness to learn new software tools quickly through hands on work rather than formal training.
• A disciplined approach to time management in a professional setting.

How we work
We operate as a fully remote firm, choosing to prioritize the quality of our analysis and the strength of our relationships over traditional office overhead or aggressive growth targets. This model requires a high degree of autonomy and a focus on written precision. Because we take on a limited number of mandates, every team member sees the direct effect of their contributions on the client's operating model. Mentorship happens through active participation in real projects, where junior staff are encouraged to form their own views and defend them with evidence. We value honesty and directness, both in our internal discussions and in the advice we provide to our clients.

What the role offers

• Competitive compensation that is attractive for an entry level professional in this sector.
• Direct exposure to high stakes corporate strategy and governance projects for major regional entities.
• A fully remote working arrangement that prioritizes results and independent analysis.
• A chance to build technical skills within the context of a significant investment mandate.
• Mentorship from senior principals who have led major corporations and government bodies.
