Qiddiya Investment Company (QIC), wholly owned by the Public Investment Fund, is developing Qiddiya — a giga-project and Saudi Arabia's future capital of entertainment, sports and culture. The Investments team leads direct investments, real assets, strategic partnerships, and monetization and co-investment opportunities, and is building out QIC's Investment Management function.

Monetization  • Work closely with Development, Asset Management, Finance, Strategy and sector teams to identify and screen assets and opportunities suitable for third-party capital. • Assess monetization readiness — business plan, cash-flow profile, structure, governance and legal/regulatory considerations — and define the path to market. • Build investor-grade financial models, valuation and returns analysis. • Develop the equity story and investment thesis for each opportunity. • Prepare external collateral: teasers, information memoranda, investor presentations, data rooms and investor Q&A. • Recommend and design transaction structures, such as asset-level stake sales, co-investment, platform JVs, fund vehicles, sale-and-leaseback and listed vehicles. • Run investor processes end-to-end: target lists, outreach, NDAs, management meetings, bids, negotiation and closing. • Coordinate external advisers (investment banks, legal, financial, tax and technical). • Build and maintain relationships and a pipeline across sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, insurers, asset managers, PE/infrastructure/real estate funds and family offices. Strategic investments  • Evaluate and execute joint ventures, strategic partnerships and minority or majority investments in companies and operators relevant to Qiddiya's ecosystem (entertainment, sports, culture, hospitality and related sectors). • Build business cases, valuations and deal structures that balance strategic value with financial returns. • Lead due diligence and negotiate term sheets, shareholder agreements and JV agreements alongside Legal. • Support post-transaction governance, partner management and value creation.
