About the Consultancy

MAGENTA is supporting the launch of a new digital product in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) that applies behavioural science principles to address a defined business challenge.

The selected consultant will guide the product through its complete lifecycle, from early discovery and user research to product development, testing, validation, and scale-up.

Working closely with the Behavioural Science Lead, Technical Lead, and Project Manager, the consultant will translate behavioural insights into practical product requirements that software developers and UX/UI designers can implement.

The consultancy is primarily remote but includes periodic travel to Riyadh for workshops, field research, and key project activities. Additional international travel may also be required, accounting for approximately 30 percent of the assignment.

Key Responsibilities

The Digital Product Manager will contribute across multiple implementation phases.

Responsibilities include:

• Preparing design-thinking workshop materials and discovery methodologies.

• Conducting interviews, field observations, and behavioural research with target users.

• Mapping customer journeys and identifying behavioural barriers and decision-making triggers.

• Applying structured behavioural diagnosis techniques.

• Analysing qualitative findings alongside historical data.

• Developing user personas, audience segments, and evidence-based problem statements.

• Designing measurement frameworks and success metrics.

• Leading structured ideation workshops.

• Developing and testing digital intervention concepts.

• Overseeing pilot implementation and validating behavioural outcomes.

• Supporting product build activities while ensuring behavioural quality assurance.

• Managing scaled pilots and evaluating statistical significance of results.

• Producing comprehensive case studies and programme documentation.

• Participating in regular project meetings and client presentations.

Required Qualifications

Applicants should demonstrate:

• Proven experience managing digital products from discovery through launch using Agile methodologies.

• Ability to convert behavioural insights into actionable product specifications.

• Experience collaborating with software engineers, UX/UI designers, and multidisciplinary technical teams.

• Strong understanding of experimentation methods, including A/B testing, test-control methodologies, behavioural metrics, and evidence-based product improvement.

• Excellent stakeholder engagement, communication, and presentation skills.

Language and Regional Experience

Candidates should also possess:

• Fluency in both English and Arabic.

• Experience working within Saudi Arabia or the Gulf region.

• Strong understanding of local cultural and social contexts.

These qualifications will help ensure that the digital product is both culturally appropriate and aligned with user needs in the target market.
