Data Lead

At Syarah, we are building the future of automotive e-commerce in the region, and data sits at the core of every decision we make. We are looking for a Data Lead to own and evolve our entire data ecosystem across engineering, analytics, data science, and AI.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you will architect scalable data systems, lead a high-performing team, and act as the analytical voice of the business—proactively identifying insights, risks, and opportunities that drive growth across our e-commerce and payments platforms.

You will design and govern Syarah’s end-to-end data platform on GCP, unify data from product, payments, ERP, and operations, and ensure all business decisions are powered by accurate, real-time, and trusted data.

You will also build AI-powered internal tools, lead data DevOps practices, and transform complex data into clear executive-level insights that shape strategy.
