Senior Commercial & Strategy Leaders - Relocation to UAE

About the Company

Careem is building the Everything App for the greater Middle East — making it easy to move around, order food and groceries, manage payments, and more. Our purpose is simple: to simplify and improve people’s lives and build an awesome organisation that inspires.

Since 2012, Careem has enabled earnings for over 2.5 million Captains, simplified the lives of more than 70 million customers, and built a platform where the region’s best talent and entrepreneurs thrive. We operate in 70+ cities across 10 countries, from Morocco to Pakistan.

We’re now entering our next chapter — one powered by AI. We’re looking for AI talent: curious problem-solvers who know how to apply AI to build tools, automate workflows, and create real impact. Whether it’s streamlining operations, enhancing customer experience, or reimagining internal systems — we want people who can make Careem work smarter and move faster.

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.
