Join us in our mission to transform the way people shop and eat, where impact, innovation, and growth drive everything we do.

The Middle East markets (UAE and Kuwait) are one of our most dynamic and competitive markets.

Functions include commercial, operations, and marketing, and teams in the Middle East partner closely with global functions such as product, technology, and consumer to deliver results for our customers.

This role sits within Operations and leads all things Rider Experience.

A large and impactful scope that includes Rider community management, Rider communications, several aspects of Rider Performance, Rider Support, and Rider Onboarding.

The role entails building, improving, and implementing processes across the areas above, tracking and managing efficiency and effectiveness of how we are performing across a variety of metrics, and finally ensuring that we are able to deliver excellent support to riders across the region.

Operating at scale in a hyper-competitive, hyper-growth environment is no easy feat.

As such, you'll be faced with some of the most exciting problems across the food tech space.

Reporting to the Director of Operations, Middle East, you’ll have a key role in ensuring the success of the logistics network in our Middle East markets.

This centers around ensuring that we always have a fleet of highly engaged, highly satisfied, and highly performing riders on our network.

Working with stakeholders within Ops to find the right approach through levers like communications, education modules, and rider events.

This role is regional, and will be required to build world-class frameworks and systems that are both effective and scalable.

The objective is straightforward: build the best systems to ensure riders are able to deliver the best experience for our customers and merchants.

You’ll work closely with other members of the Middle East rider operations teams, as well as wider teams within HQ Ops, Product, and Tech to ensure the best possible outcomes for our riders, restaurants, and customers.
