Assistant Manager Operations - tMart

When you think of food delivery in the MENA region, we’d be pretty surprised if talabat didn’t pop into your mind
first! Since delivering our first order in Kuwait in 2004, we’ve grown quite a lot over the past 17 years.
Today, we deliver hundreds of millions of food orders, grocery items and other products per year, to our
customers in nine countries throughout the region with more than 3,000+ employees! Our food delivery business
works with over 27,000 brands and almost 50,000 branches, while our q-commerce concept, talabat mart, now
delivers groceries to customers in Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman Qatar, and the UAE in 30 minutes or less!

Our philosophy is to make sure we do what is right for our ecosystem - our customers, our partners, our people,
our riders, and the communities in which we operate. Our #techforgood program allows our customers a safe and
convenient way to contribute to important causes in their community through donating to local and international
charities directly on talabat with a focus on food insecurity in the region. Since its inception in 2020, we have
facilitated the donation of well over 1 million meals to those in need, as well as donated over $1.5 million to
charity with the help of our partners and customers. talabat is part of Delivery Hero, the global leader in online
food delivery and q-commerce.

As talabat continues to grow and keep ahead of the curve we have launched our very own end-end grocery
service across the MENA region: tMart
