Co-Founder & Managing Partner — UAE & GCC (Equity Partner)
Omendon · Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Apply & track with Apply EdgeWe are looking for our fourth co-founder.Most companies that try to enter the Gulf don't fail because their product is wrong. They fail because nobody was in the room when the buyer decided.Omendon exists to fix that. We are an AI-powered Go-To-Market-as-a-Service company registered in ADGM, Abu Dhabi, with group companies in Finland and the UK. We take Nordic and Baltic manufacturers and service companies into the UAE — opening sales channels, securing distributors, connecting investors — while the client stays home and watches it happen on our platform.Where we areSigned clients across Estonia and Finland in modular construction, building technology, industrial coatings, medtech and professional services. A €400,000 investment commitment signed out of Saudi Arabia for one of them. A working client platform where every meeting, distributor conversation and deal is visible daily. A Nordic–Gulf investors summit we convened ourselves. A €500,000 pre-seed round in progress. Three co-founders built that. We need a fourth, and we need this founder in Dubai.Our visionTo become the world's leading go-to-market platform — one that makes global expansion faster, simpler and accessible to companies everywhere.Our missionTo enable businesses to enter new markets successfully by combining AI-driven insight, trusted local partner networks and hands-on execution focused on real outcomes: revenue, and shared success.We believe market expansion is one of the last genuinely un-digitised parts of business. It still runs on relationships nobody has mapped, knowledge nobody has written down, and consultants who invoice and leave. We are turning it into software, a partner network, and a repeatable operating system. Expansion on autopilot — first the Gulf, then everywhere.What you would ownYou are the execution leader for the UAE and GCC. Results for our clients are yours.-Build and run distributor and channel networks in the Gulf — for our clients, and for Omendon itself-Recruit and onboard the partner ecosystem onto our platform: distributors, resellers, sales agents, marketing partners, legal and corporate service providers-Turn what you know how to do into what the platform does — converting relationship-driven, manual execution into structured, digital, repeatable process-Design expansion packages that are built around outcomes, not activity-Help us solve the hard commercial questions with us: how a services business becomes a genuine subscription platform, and how equity-for-execution deals with clients should actually be structured-Build the GCC operating model so it can be replicated in the next region, and the one after thatWho we're looking for-Deep, real, current networks across the UAE and wider GCC — distributors, buyers, family offices, corporate services, government-adjacent. Not contacts you had five years ago-Demonstrable history of opening distribution channels and closing commercial agreements in this region -Based in the UAE, or moving-Comfortable building process and systems, not just relationships. If the answer to "how do we do this 100 times" is "I'll handle it personally," this is not your role-Founder temperament. You want ownership rather than a title, and you can operate before the structure exists-Arabic is an advantage. Excellent English is essentialWhat we offer — stated plainlyEquity. Meaningful co-founder-level equity in Omendon Holding Ltd, on a vesting schedule agreed between us.Commission and revenue share on results you generate, from day one.Salary — not immediately. We expect to introduce a salary approximately 3–4 months in, following the close of our pre-seed round. We would rather tell you that now than discover it together in month two. If you need a salary from month one, this is the wrong role, and we would rather you knew before you applied.How to applyapply through LinkedIn.
