Dubai, DU, AE, United Arab Emirates

Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Growth Director with deep expertise in customer retention and lifecycle management to lead our growth initiatives. This vertical leadership role will oversee the company's retention strategy while contributing to overall customer acquisition and revenue growth.
The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of building and scaling retention-focused growth functions, leading high-performing teams, and delivering measurable impact on customer lifetime value and business growth.

Hands-On Execution & Vertical Leadership



This is a working director role - you lead from the front by doing the work, not just managing it
This role would have CRM lead, 2 data analyst and 1 Data Engineer as direct report.
Expected to personally design, build, and launch high-impact retention campaigns and experiments
Directly analyze complex data sets, build models, and derive insights without waiting for analysts
Personally write campaign briefs, and strategic documents as needed.
Get into the technical details - from reviewing SQL queries to troubleshooting attribution issues.
Comfortable jumping into any part of the retention funnel to unblock progress or solve problems
Balance strategic leadership with tactical execution - you'll spend 40-50% of time doing hands-on work Not a "delegate-only" role - you win by being the best operator on the team, not just the best strategist lead by example through excellent execution that sets the standard for the entire team. Thrive in lean, resource-constrained environments where senior leaders must contribute directly to output
Act as both architect and builder - design the strategy and help build it yourself
