About the Role

The Company is seeking a Managing Director to spearhead the establishment of a technology and operations base in Dubai. The successful candidate will be a hands-on leader, responsible for setting up the office, building and leading the team, and driving the modernization of the software. This role is pivotal in growing the operation into a larger business over time. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in hands-on technical leadership, proven team-building skills, and a deep understanding of applied AI in delivery. They should be operators who are comfortable with building from the ground up, particularly in the domains of franchise, retail, or multi-tenant SaaS platforms.

Applicants for the Managing Director position at the company should have 8-12+ years of experience, including a track record of leading engineering teams, and be ready to take on a Managing Director mandate. The role requires a candidate who is on-site in Dubai, with a preference for UAE-based individuals, and is open to those who are willing to relocate promptly. The role demands a leader who is not only technically adept but also capable of leading a team and driving the business forward. The candidate must be fluent in English, with Arabic being a strong advantage, and be prepared to work hours that overlap with the US East Coast. The focus is on finding an ambitious operator with the mandate to create and grow, rather than a seat in an established organization.
