AI is everywhere except the bottom line. AppliedAI builds Opus, the only platform that rewires an organization’s processes for AI, runs them, and shows what that’s worth. Insurers, healthcare organizations, banks and other regulated enterprises use Opus to turn an AI mandate into results they can measure. AppliedAI is headquartered in Abu Dhabi and backed by Mubadala, G42, Palantir, Bessemer Venture Partners and other leading investors.
As Regional Marketing Manager, MENA and Global Programs, you own marketing for Applied AI in theMENAand lead how the regional marketing playbook rolls out to the company’s other regions.
Account-based marketing is the core of the role. The MENA is Applied AI’s home market, and deals here move through senior relationships at a defined set of large organizations. Working with the global marketing team, you run account-based programs into the region’s priority accounts alongside the sales and outbound teams, and support the executive meetings Applied AI’s leadership holds in the region.
