About Moove
- Moove is one of the world's fastest growing mobility infrastructure companies.
- We finance and supply vehicles to mobility platforms across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America and we're building the infrastructure layer that the next generation of mobility will depend on.
- The company is pre IPO, operating at scale across multiple geographies, and moving through one of the most consequential phases of its growth.
About The Role
- The Director of Strategy & Operations serves as a trusted partner to the Co CEO and President, ensuring that ambitious growth plans are executable, aligned, and supported across the organisation.
- The role will be crucial in operationalizing the vision of Moove.
- On the execution side, this role owns the operating rhythm of the leadership team, converts strategic direction into clear accountabilities, and ensures decisions are structured, actioned, and embedded across business units.
- On the strategic side, the Director of Strategy & Operations researches and constructs long term corporate strategy, embeds governance and decision rights, and provides forward looking scenario analysis to feed into any corporate planning.
- Because much of the company’s operating infrastructure is still being built, this role carries significant build responsibility.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Research, construct, and support the development of long term corporate strategy in partnership with the Co CEO and President; ensure it is cascaded into business unit priorities through structured communication channels including town halls, leadership briefings, and BU level planning.

- Manage information flow to and from the Co CEO, surface what requires attention and filter what does not
Strategic Outputs
- Prepare and own high stakes outputs: board materials, investor updates, strategic documents, and executive briefings
- Lead specific strategic and operational workstreams directly when required, including platform development and capital markets preparation
- Identify and deploy AI tools and workflows to increase the velocity and quality of the Co CEO’s office
