You will be responsible for all three key stakeholders of the business, namely the customers, restaurant partners and captains and ensuring each of them have a great experience working with us.
What You'll Do

1. Define the strategy and value proposition for Careem Food in Abu Dhabi.
2. Translate the strategy into a clear and actionable business plan that drives aggressive market share growth for Careem Food in Abu Dhabi.
3. Manage Careem Food's business day to day within Abu Dhabi and own the growth and scaling of the business in the city.

5. Encourage, support and develop the team, monitoring their success and conducting regular performance reviews.
6. Develop and sustain solid relationships with key partners.
7. Develop a thorough understanding of partners' needs and requirements and prepare customized solutions.
8. Negotiate contracts with key partners and create solutions for partners' long term goals.
9. Be a key part of the UAE food leadership team responsible for the overall direction and growth of the business.
10. Encourage and lead collaboration between teams.

Desired candidate profile

1. Strong understanding of the food delivery / food tech / quick commerce industry with a keen view on opportunities for innovation / creative breakthrough ideas (commercial + powered by tech).
2. Deep understanding of Abu Dhabi as a city will be a strong plus.
3. This is not a desk role, and therefore the ability and bias for rolling your sleeves up and spending time on the field is critical.
4. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills. You will be the face of Careem in Abu Dhabi, and part of the leadership team.
5. Strong customer relationship skills, with the ability to develop and build profitable and successful working relationships.
6. You are highly goal oriented, have a strong bias for action, and are a hands-on, problem solver. Yes, this is mentioned twice because it's that important.
7. You demonstrate the ability to communicate, present and influence credibly and effectively at all levels of the organization.

What We'll Provide You
We offer colleagues the opportunity to drive impact in the region while they learn and grow. As a full time Careem colleague, you will be able to:

1. Work and learn from great minds by joining a community of inspiring colleagues.
2. Put your passion to work in a purposeful organisation dedicated to creating impact in a region with a lot of untapped potential.
3. Explore new opportunities to learn and grow every day.
4. Work 4 days a week in office & 1 day from home, and remotely from any country in the world for 30 days a year with unlimited vacation days per year.
