Full Job Posting
Overview
CargoX is scaling its autonomous delivery fleet across the UAE, and every decision behind that growth needs sharp analysis to back it.
We're hiring a **Senior Specialist — Strategy** to be the analytical engine of the Strategy team: digging into the data, building the models, and turning messy, open-ended questions into clear answers leadership can act on.
As an individual contributor, you'll own real workstreams inside our biggest strategic bets, work shoulder-to-shoulder with teams across the business and build the kind of track record that grows into a broader leadership remit.
If you like ownership, move fast, and want your work to visibly shape where the company goes — this is your seat.
What You'Ll Do
- Dig into high-priority strategic projects, structuring open-ended problems and running the analysis that points to the answer.
- Build the models, deep-dives, and quantitative analyses that map market trends, the competitive landscape, and operational performance across the UAE delivery and logistics market.
- Turn data into insight, and insight into clear, sharp recommendations senior leaders can move on quickly.
- Use AI tools to work faster — accelerating research, analysis, and synthesis so the team spends its time on judgment, not grunt work.
- Build and maintain the reporting, dashboards, and automation that make day-to-day decisions smarter.
- Help leaders define, track, and stay honest against OKRs and KPIs.
- Surface the levers for growth, efficiency, and profitability, and make the case with numbers.
- Partner with finance, operations, and commercial to gather inputs, validate assumptions, and pressure-test every initiative.
- Keep stakeholders close with timely analysis and clear updates from kickoff to handover.
- Build presentations and materials that are easy to follow and grounded in evidence, every time.
What You Need To Be Successful
- 6 - 10 years in business strategy, consulting, analytics, or project management within a fast-paced environment (e-commerce, Q-commerce, autonomous mobility tech, or management consulting preferred).
- Serious analytical and problem-solving skills — you structure the problem, then let the data settle it.
- Hands-on with the tools: Excel / Google Sheets and SQL, with experience building dashboards and models; BI tools a plus.
- Fluent with AI tools, and eager to use them to work faster and smarter.
- Comfortable working across business, finance, and operations to get the inputs you need.
- Able to own workstreams end-to-end and juggle competing priorities without missing a deadline.
- A strong communicator and storyteller who can make complex analysis land simply.
What Sets You Apart
- Analytical mindset: structured and data-driven, even when the problem is wide open.
- Curiosity: you dig deeper than the brief and chase the better answer.
- Drive proactive, ownership-first, and hungry to grow into a bigger strategic remit.
- ***About CargoX***
- ***CargoX is on a mission to make last-mile delivery in the UAE faster, smarter, and more reliable than anyone thought possible.
- We're scaling rapidly, our autonomous fleet is growing, our client list is expanding, and we're hiring the operators, builders, and problem-solvers who want in early.
- We're looking for talented people who want to be part of a high-performance culture where ambition is rewarded, ideas are valued, and impact is visible from day one.
- If this sounds like you, the next move is yours.***
