Riyadh, Ar Riyāḑ, Saudi Arabia Meituan Full time

About Us
Keeta, the international subsidiary of Meituan—the global delivery giant—is on a mission to transform food and consumer product delivery worldwide. With our core belief: "We help people eat better, live better," we're taking innovation to the global stage. Our story began in 2023 in Hong Kong, China, where we became an industry leader in under a year. Building on that momentum, we entered Saudi Arabia in 2024 and soon expanded to over 20 cities. In 2025, we accelerated further, launching in Qatar, Kuwait, and the UAE within a remarkable 40-day span. This was followed by our entry into Brazil, progressing from a pilot in Santos and São Vicente to an official launch in São Paulo, with more destinations ahead.

What You'll Do
As the Senior Public Policy Manager for countrywide operations, you will design and execute strategies to build trust with government entities, policymakers, and regulatory bodies.

Key Responsibilities: Develop and implement a countrywide government affairs strategy aligned with business priorities. Build and maintain relationships with key government stakeholders at the countrywide, regional, and municipal levels. Monitor legislative and regulatory developments, providing actionable insights to internal teams. Advocate for policies that foster innovation while mitigating risks to operations. Collaborate with legal, communications, and business teams to align government outreach with company goals. Represent Keeta in industry associations, public forums, and policy dialogues. Proactively address potential regulatory challenges and crisis scenarios. Support the growth of cross-functional teams by providing regulatory guidance in early-stage initiatives

  • Strong analytical skills to translate complex regulations into business impacts.
  • Proven ability to work independently in unstructured environments.
  • Exceptional communication skills in English and the local language; fluency in Arabic is a plus.
