Jobs in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

About the role

This role owns that work, and it is the kind of seat that usually doesn't exist: The product decisions that make or break a market entry run through one person. You. You will make Salla work as well for a merchant anywhere in the GCC and beyond as it does in our home market: diagnosing where the product needs to change in each new market, deciding what gets built, adapted, or deferred, and driving the work from diagnosis to shipped improvement.

What you'll bring

• Proven experience owning product for a market expansion or geographic rollout at a software, fintech, or commerce platform
• Deep understanding of merchant activation dynamics: diagnosing drop-off by market and the product changes that move activation rate in practice.
• Payments and know-your-customer fluency as a product problem, not a compliance checkbox: gateway integrations, document flows, and their product implications.
• Familiarity with Gulf market realities: payment methods, logistics infrastructure, value-added tax and commercial licensing, and how merchant behavior differs across the region.
• Track record improving time-to-value in a self-serve, low-touch environment where the product does the onboarding.
• Strong analytical instinct, comfortable building measurement for a market with no benchmarks.
• Experience leading cross-functional work without authority over the teams involved.
• Five or more years in product management, with meaningful ownership in an ambiguous or early-stage context.
• Arabic fluency is a must
• Willing to relocate to Saudi Arabia.
• ideally one requiring adapted payments, compliance, or onboarding across regulatory environments.
• Gulf residency or prior regional experience is preferred over theoretical market knowledge.
