Senior Commercial And Strategy Leader

Job description / Role

Note:

This is not an active job opening. It is a call for expressions of interest as we build a pipeline of future leaders who may relocate to UAE!

At Careem, our journey began with a simple yet powerful purpose: to simplify and improve the lives of people in our region. From our early beginnings as a ride-hailing service to becoming the region’s first Everything App, our mission has remained the same - to build with impact, to create opportunities, and to make daily life simpler for millions. We are not just a tech company; we are a team of builders, dreamers, and doers, working to create a better future for the Middle East.

As we look ahead, we believe the region’s growth story will be shaped by leaders who understand both the global stage and the unique dynamics of the Middle East. With this in mind, we are reaching out to senior commercial, P&L, and strategy leaders who may be considering a return to the region - and specifically, relocation to UAE.

Who we’re looking to connect with

This initiative is about building a pipeline of exceptional talent who want to bring their global experience home and shape the next decade of purpose-led growth in UAE.

We’re particularly interested in connecting with leaders who:

• Have strong experience in commercial, P&L, or strategy leadership.
• Have delivered meaningful business results in fast-paced, high-growth environments.
• Bring expertise in startups, e-commerce, or other tech-driven industries.
• Are values-driven and passionate about helping the region thrive.

Eligibility

By expressing your interest, you will join a talent pool for future leadership opportunities in UAE. This is not tied to a current role. Please rest assured, we’ll be the ones to get in touch with you as relevant opportunities arise in the future.

Why join this initiative?

This is more than a career move. It’s an opportunity to:

• Use your skills and experience to make a lasting impact in the Middle East region.
• Help shape the next decade of purpose-led growth across the region.
• Be part of Careem’s journey to build the region’s first Everything App — creating opportunities for our Captains and simplifying daily life for our customers.

If this vision resonates with you, apply and drop your resume!

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:

• Work and learn from great minds by joining a community of inspiring colleagues.
• Put your passion to work in a purposeful organisation dedicated to creating impact in a region with a lot of untapped potential.
• Explore new opportunities to learn and grow every day.
• 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.
• Access to healthcare benefits and fitness reimbursements for health activities including gym, health club, and training classes.
• Relocation allowance for self and family.
