We're building the next generation of consumer products inside talabat through our New Ventures organization. This is a 0→1 product role at the heart of that org: a Product Manager who can take ideas from concept to launch, and from launch to product-market fit, across a portfolio of new business bets.
You'll be a core Product Manager on the New Ventures team, shaping how millions of MENA shoppers experience entirely new categories and business models that don't yet exist on the platform. Each venture behaves differently: different shoppers, different supply, different unit economics, different competitive dynamics. The constants are ambiguity, speed, and a high bar for customer love.
You will work directly with venture leaders, engineering, design, data, commercial, brand, and CX counterparts dedicated to each bet. Expect to operate across multiple ventures during your time on the team, taking learnings from one and applying them to the next.
Why this role is rare:Genuine 0→1 mandate inside a profitable, scaled platform. Startup speed without startup risk.
A massive built-in user base to seed each new venture with, removing the cold-start problem most startups face.
Exposure to multiple categories and business models, accelerating your range as a product builder.
A small, founder-mode team where the PM shapes strategy, not just executes someone else's roadmap.
Direct exposure to leadership across talabat and Delivery Hero, with executive visibility from week one.
