About Calo (more here)
Calo is an app providing personalized meal plans for busy people through nutritional algorithms, built with love by chefs, nutritionists, and software engineers.
Launched in Bahrain in 2019, we have since expanded to 6 countries, delivered millions of meals to our customers, and are now expanding our mission of making healthy easy to retail and other verticals.
We're on a noble mission to make healthy easy. We think this is one of the most important problems to tackle in our world today. We have global ambitions - no small thinking here.
About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own the product experience behind how meals get made, tracked, and delivered to subscribers.
The scope spans production planning, logistics, and supply chain systems, across all six GCC markets, with Saudi Arabia as the largest and most complex. It's a wide scope: you'll translate operational constraints, kitchen capacity, delivery fleet, sourcing, into product decisions that directly impact customer experience, and use AI as an extension of yourself to handle the ad-hocs so your time goes to the decisions that matter most.
What You'll Be Doing
Drive the product strategy and roadmap across all six GCC markets.
Partner cross-functionally to harden the operational fundamentals behind every meal: on-time delivery, production efficiency, waste reduction.
Translate real-world constraints like kitchen capacity, delivery fleet, and ingredient sourcing into product tradeoffs that protect the customer experience.
Build and ship AI-powered tools and agents that automate or augment operational decisions.
Partner with automation engineers and build the systems that allow them to scale.
Understand how operational failures drive churn and prioritize against that.
Getting close to production teams and spending time in the kitchen understanding the operational flows and how the team on the ground operates.
Undertaking customer and competitive research to stay close to voice of customer and market trends.
What We're Looking For
6-8 years of product management experience, including 2-3 years in operations or marketplace capacity.
A track record of owning complex, multi-stakeholder systems.
Comfortable being on the ground working directly with kitchen and logistics teams.
AI-native: you use AI tools daily in real work, can prototype in Claude Code without waiting on an engineer, and have shipped an AI or agentic feature.
Based in Riyadh or willing to relocate.
Bonus: food, delivery, or subscription-commerce ops experience; familiarity with agentic pipelines.
You'll Thrive Here If You...
Like being close to the operational chaos.
Get energy from fixing systems, not just shipping features.
Comfortable with ambiguity and can drive clarity for yourself and others.
Want AI to be core to how you work, not a plugin bolted on top.
Believe good ops is invisible and autonomous: the customer never notices it.
