Marketplace Strategy Fellow

Project Management Track Hybrid (Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait & Oman) or Remote Worldwide | Full-time | August 2026 – August 2027 About Calo (more here) Calo is an app providing personalized meal plans for busy people through nutritional algorithms, built with love by chefs, nutritionists, and software engineers. Launched in Bahrain in 2019, we have since expanded to 6 countries, delivered millions of meals to our customers, and are now expanding our mission of making healthy easy to retail and other verticals. We're on a noble mission to make healthy easy. We think this is one of the most important problems to tackle in our world today. We have global ambitions - no small thinking here. About the Calo Fellowship The Calo Fellowship is a one-year, full-time program designed to give exceptional early-career talent the opportunity to learn by doing. Whether you've recently graduated from high school or university, this Fellowship is built for people with potential, not necessarily experience. You'll spend a year solving real business problems, building meaningful projects, and learning alongside some of the brightest people at Calo. This isn't an internship or a job-shadowing program. You'll be trusted with real ownership from day one. Throughout the year, you'll experience Calo from multiple perspectives. For the first two weeks of every month, you'll rotate across different teams to understand how the business operates end-to-end. During the second two weeks, you'll focus on your main track, working closely with your Sponsor and Mentor to deliver projects that create lasting impact. The Fellowship concludes with Showcase Day, where you'll present everything you've built and learned to Calo's leadership team. About the Role As a Marketplace Project Fellow, you'll join our Project Management Track, helping shape one of Calo's fastest-growing business verticals. Marketplace is a dynamic part of our business, connecting customers with a growing ecosystem of products and services. As it continues to scale, so does the need for someone who can bring structure, alignment, and momentum to cross-functional initiatives. In this role, you'll become the dedicated project owner across Marketplace and Calo Now, working with teams across Product, Operations, Commercial, Customer Experience, Marketing, and more to identify opportunities, improve processes, and drive projects from idea to execution. Think of yourself as an internal consultant. You'll investigate how things work, uncover gaps, recommend improvements, and help turn those ideas into real outcomes that make the Marketplace stronger for both our customers and our teams. What you'll be working on - Lead and coordinate cross-functional projects across Marketplace and Calo Now. - Identify operational gaps and recommend practical, scalable improvements. - Work closely with stakeholders to align priorities and keep initiatives moving forward. - Analyze workflows, identify bottlenecks, and improve operational processes. - Track project timelines, milestones, risks, and outcomes. - Prepare presentations, updates, and recommendations for leadership and key stakeholders. - Take ownership of initiatives from discovery through implementation and continuous improvement. What we're looking for We're not looking for years of experience. We're looking for future operators and problem-solvers. You'll likely be a great fit if you: - Recently graduated from high school or university. - Have little or no professional experience but are excited to learn. - Love solving complex problems and bringing order to ambiguity. - Enjoy organizing projects, people, and ideas. - Ask thoughtful questions before jumping to solutions. - Communicate clearly and confidently with different people. - Take ownership and follow through on commitments. - Learn quickly and enjoy working in fast-paced environments where every day is different. - Are curious about how businesses scale and continuously improve. Experience with Google Workspace, Notion, Excel, project management tools, AI tools, or data visualization platforms is a plus, but absolutely not required. The kind of person who thrives at Calo At Calo, we hire for mindset first. Our Fellows are people who: - Stay curious. - Learn fast. - Take ownership. - Care deeply about the quality of their work. - Solve problems instead of waiting for someone else to. - Are comfortable with change and enjoy moving quickly. - Support the people around them and celebrate team success. - Show humility, resilience, and a genuine desire to grow. If that sounds like you, we'd love to meet you. Who can apply? We're looking for exceptional people, wherever they are. We welcome applications from: - Recent high school graduates. - Recent university graduates. - Candidates with little to no professional experience. - Applicants based in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, or Oman, where the Fellowship can be completed in
