About PetroApp

PetroApp is a rapidly growing technology company revolutionizing the fleet management and digital payment landscape. We are on a mission to digitize mobility across the MENA region and beyond.

In this role, you will be the architect of our expansion roadmap, responsible for identifying new market opportunities, aligning cross-functional teams (Product, Engineering, Sales, Ops), and ensuring our daily execution matches our long-term strategic goals.

If you speak the languages of both Business Strategy and Technology, and you thrive in a fast-paced environment, we want to meet you.

• Cross-Functional Synergy: Act as the connective tissue between the Technical/Product teams and the Commercial/Operational teams to ensure product roadmaps support business expansion targets.
• Data-Driven Decision Making: Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and market trends to recommend pivots or accelerations in strategy.
• Operational Excellence: Identify bottlenecks in our scaling process and implement structural improvements to enhance organizational agility.
