Channel & Market Execution Manager

Purpose

We are looking for a driven commercial strategist to join OFTI as Manager, Channel & Market Execution. In this role, you will bridge the gap between central commercial strategy and on‑ground results across our markets in Qatar, Oman, Tunisia, Maldives and future markets. You will be responsible for diagnosing channel performance gaps, designing tactical GTM playbooks, and ensuring that what is decided at OFTI level actually converts into revenue in the street, in the app, and through our distribution partners.

This is an Individual Contributor (IC) role with no direct reports. The role requires regular travel across OFTI markets, with candidates expected to spend a meaningful portion of their time in‑market.

Ooredoo Fintech (OFT) is a fast‑growing scale‑up on a mission to empower people and businesses across the MENA region with innovative financial solutions. Backed by the strength and heritage of Ooredoo Group and driven by a passionate team, we deliver secure, intuitive money tools through our brands:
Ooredoo Money, Walletii, and m‑Faisaa, serving users in Qatar, Oman, and the Maldives. Working with us presents a unique and exciting opportunity to make a difference and be part of a revolution where we are leveraging financial technology to provide accessible, empowering tools.

• Manage and optimize distribution partner relationships — benchmarking agent commission structures, onboarding processes, and exclusivity arrangements against market standards across all three geographies.
• Produce regular Market Health Reports, aggregating channel and commercial performance data across all markets and delivering clear, prioritised recommendations for OFTI‑level intervention.
