About the Role:

Heard the saying culture eats strategy for breakfast? At Careem, we know the power of culture. For us, it’s not fluffy stuff. Culture propels us to reach our ambitious vision. We are looking for a Culture and Community Senior Specialist to manage our workplace community and shape our company culture through events and activities. As a result, colleagues in our Cairo/Alex office will feel connected at a local level and with the global Careem community.

We are a small agile team driven to have an outsized impact by working collaboratively with the whole organization. We know people are what it takes to fulfill our purpose and deliver a strategy.

This means we apply a product management approach to design, test, iterate and deploy solutions to problems within the organization.
