This is a pivotal moment to join our team, offering a unique experience that blends Silicon Valley's innovative spirit with the Middle East's deep cultural richness, and rapidly advancing economies. This role presents an unparalleled opportunity to lead our efforts through global change, growth, and leverage an entrepreneurial mindset to own the business for one of our most strategically important regions.

In addition, you will lead our efforts to ‘land-and-expand’ into Africa.
You will lead a dedicated Strategy & Operations team that will bring you insights from the market, build the strategy, and get to the lowest level of detail to execute plans rapidly. You will partner directly with, and influence Product, Engineering, Analytics, Marketing, Finance, and Support leadership teams to marshall the essential investments for your region. Your leadership will ensure that Cambly is the number-one choice for English learners in the regions.
In this role, you will have the chance to profoundly impact the lives of English learners across the Middle East and Africa and in doing so transform the lives of people in every country.
**You will be responsible for the following**:

- Act as the legal representative of Cambly in each country, ensuring each one operates efficiently, and complies with local laws and regulations.
- Hire, retain, and develop our local team.
- Developing a well-defined point of view on the competitive landscape in the Middle East and African markets and positioning Cambly’s value proposition compellingly.
- Make resource allocation decisions across the Middle East and Africa, whether to launch a new country, or double-down and drive growth in an existing one

- Strong business acumen and analytical skills in consumer behaviors and related marketing strategies and tactics
- Ability to make sound business decisions based on multiple options/scenarios and ability to evaluate performance based on data
