Job description

About noon

We’re building an ecosystem of digital products and services that power everyday life across the Middle East—fast, scalable, and deeply customer-centric. Our mission is to deliver to every door every day.

Who are we?

Everyday Labs is noon’s innovation engine — a place built to imagine, build, and scale new ideas that create real value for users, for noon, and for the world. Our mission is simple: turn imagination into measurable impact. We explore new technologies, test new business models, and launch products that push noon’s ecosystem forward with speed, clarity, and purpose.

If you want to build models, ML pipelines and AI that become the foundation for future noon businesses, this is where you belong.

About the role

We’re looking for an entrepreneurial builder — someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and can take an idea from zero to launch with full ownership. You’ll validate new opportunities, design business models, run experiments, and build scalable ventures within Noon’s ecosystem. This role is perfect for someone who thinks like a founder and executes like an operator.

What you'll do:

• Identify, validate, and launch new business opportunities from scratch.
• Build MVPs, run experiments, and rapidly iterate based on data and customer feedback.
• Own problem statements end‑to‑end: research, strategy, execution, and scaling.
• Collaborate with product, engineering, finance, and growth teams to ship solutions fast.
• Present business cases and models to senior leadership with clarity and insight.
• Drive operational excellence once initiatives are live.

What you'll need:

• Startup or entrepreneurial background is essential — ideally as a founder/co‑founder or a core early team member who built and scaled something real.
• Consulting experience is welcome only if you’ve also launched or run something yourself.
• MBA from a top business school (Wharton, MIT, HBS, Stanford, etc.).
• Strong commercial instincts, analytical thinking, and comfort with ambiguity.
• Ability to design experiments, read data fast, and make bold, informed decisions.
• High ownership, adaptability, and a passion for building things that matter.

Who will excel?

• We’re looking for people with high standards, who understand that hard work matters.
• You need to be relentlessly resourceful and operate with a deep bias for action.
• We need people with the courage to be fiercely original.
• noon is not for everyone; readiness to adapt, pivot, and learn is essential.
