AHOY Playbooks supports the AHOY ecosystem through strategic decks and proposals that can be used by the pre-sales, sales, commercials, tech, and product teams, all laid out in the form of the right story.  

We’re looking for a capable individual to lead the content strategy for these information systems, and support with refining these blueprints and documentation frameworks to help explain it all to developers and business leaders, alike.  

Key Responsibilities: 

• Bridge Gaps: Translate complex technical concepts into clear business language for non-technical leaders, and turn business goals into technical requirements for engineering teams. 

• Design Systems: Create high-level architectural blueprints for enterprise systems, cloud integration, or data networks, to name a few. 

• Align Standards: Assist with technical governance, and the ever-evolving library to constantly build for pre-sales, sales, technical, R&D, product and commercial teams. 

• Mentor Teams: Guide and support the AHOY Playbooks team but also secure relationships with all the other teams AHOY Playbooks works with.  

• Good communicator: Say more with less. The art of conveying knowledge on a wide spectrum is expected for this role through strategic decks and proposal outputs. 

• Strategic Advising: Act as a bridge between business needs and technical execution, guiding stakeholders and external leadership on technology roadmaps. 

Requirements

Core Skills Required:  

• Experience of at least 8 years in the world of tech and system development  

• Hybrid work model with the candidate being based in the UAE and able to meet in person at least 2 times a week 

• Strong communication skills in English, written and verbal. Being able to do the same in Arabic or French is a plus point but not required  

• Know how to write a technical story that secures a proof-of-concept result within 10 slides vs. 50 eye-watering slides. Don’t make your audience hunt for the answer on slide 18 and risk losing the plot 

• Rapidly learn new technologies as well as strong presentation, communication and facilitation skills 

• Time management to ensure AHOY Playbooks’ commitment matches business requirements  

• Ability to anticipate needs – and help solve knowledge gaps - for pre-sales, sales, tech, R&D, product and commercial teams 

• A detailed understanding of Tooling, Data Modeling, and Enterprise application integration concepts, including experience with enterprise integration tools, and common integration design patterns with enterprise systems  

Unleash Your Potential: 

This role is for someone who has technical knowledge (tools and products) and can strategize and execute. The team is small, and the structure is flat with no room for inflated ego. We’re here to have fun by ensuring our brains are engaged to their maximum level of output.  

Email your portfolio (2-3 samples) to [email protected] of a pitch deck and/or document proposal (redact client names to keep in line with any NDAs signed) you have created that helped secure the next stage of a proof-of-concept, and how you got the point across to a business leader (CEO or CFO) without suffering a lost-in-translation moment.  

Looking forward to working with you soon.
