Why This Role Matters

Q-Commerce is one of Calo's fastest-growing business channels, and this role sits at the heart of its growth.

As our Q-Commerce Lead, you'll own Calo's performance across aggregator platforms with full accountability for driving online sales, strengthening strategic partnerships, and delivering an exceptional customer experience.

You'll lead two distinct business models that require different commercial strategies:

• Restaurant Aggregators
  
  

Manage Calo as a restaurant across food delivery platforms such as Talabat, HungerStation, Jahez, Careem, Deliveroo, Keeta, Ninja, and more. Your mission is to grow online orders by optimizing menus, pricing, promotions, visibility, and delivery performance.

• Marketplace & CPG
  
  

Manage Calo's packaged products across Calo Market, grocery marketplaces, and aggregator-operated dark stores. Your mission is to maximize product discoverability, assortment, merchandising, availability, pricing, and promotional performance to accelerate sales.

Across both channels, you'll act as the commercial owner, working closely with Marketing, Operations, Supply Chain, Customer Experience, and external partners to unlock sustainable growth and continuously improve platform performance.

Time Split Per Model
