Job Description
We are seeking a Commercial Product Partnership Specialist to join our Commercial team in MENA. In this pivotal role, you will act as the crucial link between our global Product Management organization and the regional Commercial teams.

Acting as a localized specialist, you will focus on two critical areas: Product Expertise and Market Intelligence. You will drive the adoption and revenue of our product suite among our merchants, ensuring our stack aligns perfectly with local needs. Simultaneously, you will be our eyes and ears on the ground, analyzing macro trends and emerging growth areas to help steer our regional roadmap.
