Job description

We’re looking for a General Manager to drive growth for Calo in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

We believe business is a team sport.

The sport is about solving customer problems.

The bigger the problem, and the more people who have it, the more you win.

The score?

Growth, revenue, and long-term value.

Customers reward you with their hard‑earned money when you solve their problem well.

They come back when nobody else does it better.

We’re looking for the captain of our Riyadh market.

First, what is Calo?

Calo is a meal subscription startup on a mission to make healthy eating easy. Over the past six years, we've delivered tens of millions of meals to hundreds of thousands of customers across seven countries, and we still feel like day one. Now, we're embarking on an AI-powered transformation to change how the world eats and make healthy meals better, faster, and more affordable.

Calo in numbers and facts

• Operating internationally in 7 countries (Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, the UK)
• 1,600+ full‑time people across all geographies
• 80+ Million Dollars in funding till date, on the road to an IPO within the next two years (Latest news here)
• One of the fastest‑growing food‑tech startups globally today, but that’s not important; what’s important is serving the customers better while scaling a winning company culture

Some Context on the Role

We’ve scaled fast across markets, but we believe the only way to win globally is to win locally.

Winning locally means:

• Deeply understanding the customer
• Knowing the city better than anyone else
• Making decisions based on data, insight, and growth impact

This role is not about running operations.

It’s about growing a market.

You’ll act as the bridge between HQ and Riyadh, representing the customer, the market, and the growth opportunity.

We’re entrepreneurial by nature.

We love people with ownership, agency, and bias for action.

We’re looking for someone who thinks and acts like an owner, embodies our values, and genuinely believes in our mission.

Our values are summed up in GOWKII.
