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.
You will be part of a dynamic and autonomous team of Careem veterans and "new tigers" on a mission to expand Careem Shops. We are building a world-class on-demand ecosystem for groceries, pharmacies, and specialty retail, all while staying aligned with our core values: ownership, shooting for the moon, and being of service to our customers, partners, and captains.
What You'll Do- Field Sales Execution: Identify, pitch, and commercially close partnerships with retail outlets (Groceries, Pharmacies, Flower shops, Roasteries, etc.) to onboard them onto the Careem platform.
- Diverse Portfolio Management: Target a mix of "Top Tier" supermarket chains and "Long Tail" neighborhood convenience stores and specialty shops.
- Geographic Mapping: Identify high-potential retail clusters and residential "dark spots" within the city to ensure we have the right shop density to serve our customers' daily needs.
- Negotiation & Closing: Secure competitive commercials, category exclusivity, and exclusive consumer deals/offers from retail partners.
- Sales Strategy: Execute sales plans according to set objectives and maintain meticulous records of prospecting activities to optimize the sales funnel.
- The "Hunter" Mentality: A genuine passion for sales, convincing people, and closing deals in a fast-paced environment.

- Market Intelligence: Strong knowledge of the Abu Dhabi retail landscape and consumer shopping habits.
- Resilience: Ability to thrive under pressure, meet stretched targets with limited resources, and use "smart-tech" thinking to solve logistical or onboarding hurdles.
- Core Values: An insane focus on excellence, a collaborative spirit, and the ability to be bold, agile, and self-driven.
- Requirements:
