<br>About the opportunity<br><p><strong>Role Summary</strong></p><br><br><p>This role owns the commercial and performance engine behind talabat UAE's operations. You'll be the person who understands how the business actually ticks, where margin is made or lost, which levers move the numbers, and what trade-offs leadership is really weighing. You'll own the operational commercials and KPI performance, drive the optimization work that improves efficiency and experience, and turn analysis into decisions. It's a role for someone equally comfortable in a model and in a room full of directors, someone who can read the data and stand their ground on what it means<strong>.</strong></p><br><br><p><strong>What's on your plate?</strong></p><br><br><p><strong>1. Commercial & P&L Ownership for Operations</strong><br>
Own the commercials behind UAE operations, cost-per-order, rider cost, and the efficiency metrics that drive the operational P&L. Track budget vs. actuals, protect riders and 3pls earnings, and give leadership clear, data-backed trade-offs between cost, growth, and customer experience. You're the person who can explain why the numbers moved, not just that they did.</p><br><br><p><strong>2. Performance Management</strong><br>
Own the UAE operational KPI stack, from forecast to actuals. Anticipate performance gaps before they hit the P&L and drive the interventions that close them. Run the reporting and executive reviews that keep leadership decision-ready.</p><br><br><p><strong>3. Operational Optimization</strong><br>
Drive the optimization agenda across the network: rider economics and staffing efficiency, vendor and coverage performance, area-level improvements. Find where the operation leaks cost or time, size the opportunity, and lead the fix, balancing efficiency against rider earnings and customer experience.</p><br><br><p><strong>4. Data, Modeling & Insight</strong><br>
Be genuinely good with data, able to interrogate complex models, understand what's driving them, and pressure-test assumptions rather than take outputs at face value. Build the analyses and dashboards that make decisions faster, and translate complexity into a clear "so what." SQL (BigQuery) and Looker/Tableau are a strong plus; the non-negotiable is analytical judgment.</p><br><br><p><strong>5. Strategic Projects & Senior Stakeholder Leadership</strong><br>
Lead cross-functional, high-impact projects that shape UAE operations. Build the business case, run the pilot, scale what works. Throughout, work directly with senior leadership, and hold your own with directors and VPs, defending a recommendation with evidence and staying credible under challenge.</p><br><br><p>What you own vs. influence: You own the operational commercials, the performance KPI stack, and the delivery of your optimization projects. You influence the ops, commercial, and product teams whose execution moves those numbers, through insight, credibility, and stakeholder trust rather than direct authority.</p><br><br>What you need to be successful<br><p><strong>What did we order?</strong></p><br><br><br><ul><li><p>At least 4 years in operations, commercial, strategy, or consulting, ideally in a marketplace, logistics, or Q-commerce environment.</p><br><br></li><li><p>Commercial instinct: you understand how a business makes money and which levers actually move it.</p><br><br></li><li><p>Strong data literacy, comfortable working with complex data and models, interrogating assumptions, and drawing the right conclusion.

Strong commercial, negotiation, presentation, and relationship-management skills. Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English; additional languages are an advantage.<br>Why Choose UsCompetitive salary package and performance-based incentives. Career growth and professional development opportunities. Opportunity to work with a leading Multi-Asset Broker in a dynamic and innovative industry.
About the role<br> The Graduate Project Manager role provides the essential coordination and structural support required to execute complex mandates for our clients, including an ongoing engagement for a Dubai-based financial services firm. We require an organized thinker who can track various project components without losing sight of the core strategic objectives. This position ensures that our principals can focus on high-level advisory while the mechanics of each project remain precise, timely, and well-documented.<br> <br>About Arabian Private Holdings<br> Arabian Private Holdings was founded on the principle that many critical business problems do not fit the traditional large-firm consulting model. A board facing a succession question or a family group weighing a capital injection does not need a team of twelve associates and a hundred-page methodology deck. They need experienced partners who can sit with a problem, form a rigorous view, and defend it. Our work covers corporate strategy, governance, and operating model efficiency for some of the most significant family groups, listed corporations, and government entities in the region. We operate as a remote firm, choosing to prioritize the quality of our analysis and the strength of our relationships over traditional office overhead. If a project is not a fit for our expertise, we are direct about it. If it is, we stay involved until the decision is made and the results are delivered.<br> <br>What you will do Maintain project timelines and internal resource logs for our current mandate with a Dubai-based financial services firm. Conduct targeted research into market trends and regulatory changes that affect client portfolios and holding company structures. Assist principals in drafting concise briefing notes and governance frameworks that translate complex data into clear recommendations. Track the status of different workstreams to ensure no detail is overlooked during a client scaling transition. Form a preliminary view on operational bottlenecks based on data provided by clients and internal analysis. Organize internal documentation and records so that the rationale for every decision is preserved and easily accessible. Prepare summary reports that outline project progress and highlight potential risks to the timeline. Support the principals in coordinating communication across different stakeholder groups involved in a mandate. <br><br>What we are looking for A high level of written precision and the ability to explain logical steps clearly in plain English. Natural curiosity about how large holding companies and financial institutions operate and generate value. Strong organizational habits that allow you to manage multiple threads of a mandate simultaneously without losing focus. A degree in business, economics, or a related field that demonstrates analytical training and academic rigor. Comfort working in a fully remote environment that requires proactive communication and self-direction. The ability to identify when a project is drifting from its original scope and call attention to it early. <br><br>How we work<br> We have replaced the traditional office with a model that prioritizes the quality of analysis over physical presence. Every member of the firm works remotely, using clear communication and shared documentation to stay aligned on our mandates. Mentoring happens through direct involvement in partner-level work rather than through formal training programs or HR initiatives. We value a quiet, focused approach where everyone is accountable for the outcome of the client engagement. Our firm avoids the aggressive growth targets of larger consultancies, focusing instead on delivering clarity for a select number of clients who value independent, honest advice.<br> <br>What the role offers Direct exposure to senior principals and high-stakes corporate decision-making processes. A permanent, full-time position that is 100 percent remote. Competitive pay that is attractive for the entry-level market. The opportunity to contribute to significant projects, such as our current work with a Dubai-based financial services firm. A professional environment that values intellectual rigor and respects professional boundaries.
