About The Role

In this role you will represent 44.01 in the UAE and Oman with credibility and influence. You will build and maintain high trust relationships with government entities, regulators, partners and community stakeholders. The remit is external representation, with the opportunity to evolve into broader regional oversight as 44.01 scales; this role is not a general-management position - you will not hold P&L, a local team, or operational and technical decision rights.

Role based in Dubai, though Muscat-based candidates will be considered.
