Saudi Arabia is pushing ahead with its ambitious plans for NEOM, a futuristic metropolis spread across 26,500 km² in the northwestern region of Tabuk. First announced in 2017, NEOM is the flagship project of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's Vision 2030 — an initiative to diversify Saudi Arabia's economy and reduce its reliance on oil revenues. There have been reports of setbacks, but officials previously said the project was on track. If construction does goes to plan, NEOM will include OXAGON, an octagonal port city; Sindalah, a luxury island resort; TROJENA, a ski and adventure resort; and a tourism hub in the Gulf of Aqaba.

When NEOM is finally up and running, it will require a whole slate of unusual jobs to fulfill its vision as a revolutionary city. Recruitment is already underway.

There were 262 vacancies on NEOM's website at the time of writing. Some would be common in any city planning project: construction manager, engineer, digital marketing web ops, and, maybe at a stretch, golf course design manager.

Perhaps the best job offered at NEOM, the lead rewilding hire will develop and implement a cheetah introduction and management plan.
