  • Localize products, services, and messaging to suit market conditions without compromising global brand consistency.


Sales Leadership & Growth

  • Lead the full sales lifecycle, from prospecting and pipeline creation through to proposal development, tender responses, and deal closure.
  • Build strong, senior-level relationships across government, public transport entities, and other key stakeholders.
  • Work closely with marketing and product teams to align go-to-market plans with regional needs.


P&L Ownership

  • Take full responsibility for revenue growth and profitability in the Moroccan market.
  • Analyze financial performance, manage budgets, and implement cost optimization strategies.
  • Forecast revenues and manage commercial risk while ensuring sustainable growth.


Operations & Team Development

  • Oversee the operational setup in Morocco, including recruitment of local talent and establishment of local infrastructure where needed.
  • Build and lead a small cross-functional team aligned to company values and performance goals.
  • Champion internal collaboration with legal, HR, finance, product, and delivery teams to ensure smooth execution of expansion plans.


Stakeholder Engagement & Compliance

  • Cultivate strong working relationships with public sector leaders, regulators, industry partners, and other influencers.
  • Ensure compliance with all local laws, licensing, and regulatory requirements.
  • Represent the company at industry events, public forums, and in the media.


What We’re Looking For

  • A bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, or related field (MBA preferred).
  • Minimum 8 years of experience in senior commercial or market leadership roles, with a proven track record of opening and growing new geographic markets.
  • Deep understanding of the Moroccan business environment, including regulatory frameworks and public-sector engagement.
  • Demonstrated success in P&L ownership, sales leadership, and large deal closure.
  • Existing relationships within Moroccan government, transport, or infrastructure sectors would be highly advantageous.
  • Fluency in English, French, and Arabic is essential.


You’ll Thrive in This Role If You Are:

  • Entrepreneurial in spirit and energized by ambiguity and complexity.
  • A strategic thinker with sharp commercial instincts and strong execution ability.
  • A natural influencer and communicator who can engage stakeholders at all levels.
  • Comfortable operating autonomously, while collaborating effectively across global teams.
  • Passionate about building markets, developing people, and delivering meaningful impact.


If you're looking for a unique leadership challenge in a fast-growing international organization, this is your opportunity to create a lasting impact and lead the charge into an exciting new market
