We are now expanding across key regional markets and looking for 4 ambitious COO-level partners:
- Azerbaijan (+Georgia);
- Kazakhstan (+Kyrgyzstan);
- Uzbekistan;
- Turkey.
Each market will be managed as a separate strategic direction.
This role is for people who want to build, not just manage. This is a startup partner-track opportunity (this is not a traditional corporate job).
