  • Design for Captains - Be the champion of the captain experience. Understand their needs, local context, and challenges. Deliver intuitive, scalable solutions informed by research and direct feedback.
  • Data-Driven Decision Making - Use data, insights, and trends to uncover opportunities. Design experiments, run A/B tests, and iterate rapidly to optimize outcomes.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration - Work closely with Engineering, Analytics, Design, Legal, and Operations. Balance trade-offs, align priorities, and ensure seamless execution across markets.

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Economics, Mathematics, or a related field. (MBA is a plus)

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.
