Since launching in Kuwait in 2004, talabat, the leading on-demand food and Q-commerce app for everyday deliveries, has been offering convenience and reliability to its customers. talabat’s local roots run deep, offering a real understanding of the needs of the communities we serve in eight countries across the region.

We harness innovative technology and knowledge to simplify everyday life for our customers, optimize operations for our restaurants and local shops,  and provide our riders with reliable earning opportunities daily.

At talabat, we foster an innovative environment where our talabaty employees can strive to create a positive impact across the region through the use of our platform.

This role will join the central team at Talabat responsible for elevating the bar on the experience for our Partners. The team drives all Partner facing policies, processes, automation initiatives, and engagements to deliver an accelerated and profitable growth for Talabat Partners.
This role will act as single-threaded owner for building, upgrading, and reviewing the implementation and impact of all Partner facing SOPs and processes (such as order cancellation, refund, dispute, etc.). The person will engage directly with multiple stakeholders across Sales, Product, Support Operations and regional Partner Growth team to raise the bar on Partner experience through these efforts.
The role will require dealing with constantly evolving priorities, and work in a fast paced environment.
The ideal candidate will possess a blend of technical expertise, industry experience, and strong stakeholder management skills, aligning with the organization's growth strategy to foster effective partnerships and drive innovation.

What’s On Your Plate?

• Design and launch new policies to support Partner pain points, where such policies do not exist. Align internal stakeholders to gain buy-in to launch and scale the implementation.
• Identify and execute improvements to existing SOPs and processes, based on feedback from the market (Sales and Partners, through NPS and Satisfaction surveys, and Voice of Partner program). This should also take into account constantly changing macro scenarios (e.g. legal requirements on onboarding documents).
• Own the vSAT metric to reflect Partner satisfaction levels, and complement the vNPS metric which is our north star metric to measure experience and pain points, offering improvement opportunities.
• This role would also play a key role in managing churn and contribute to retention improvement on the platform for our long-tail accounts - where maintaining good quality of support (policies and process driven) is critical for their growth.
