Co-Founder

Company Description Sahor One is a WhatsApp-native business operations platform designed for service businesses across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). It unifies the entire customer journey—from lead and quote through booking, job management, invoicing, and payment—into a single connected system. Customers continue using WhatsApp, while business owners and teams manage conversations, jobs, and payments via the Sahor One Business Web App in both Arabic and English. The platform offers AI-assisted lead response and booking, team scheduling and dispatch, compliant e‑invoicing, payment links, and automated follow-ups through one customer record across channels. Starting with home-service businesses such as AC and HVAC, cleaning, maintenance, and pest control, Sahor One is expanding into more service industries and is supported by partnerships with Stripe Connect, Microsoft for Startups, and accredited regional e‑invoicing partners.

Role Description The Co-Founder will play a central role in shaping Sahor One’s product, go-to-market strategy, and operations, working closely with the founding team to build and scale the company. This is a full-time, on-site role based in Islāmābād, Pakistan, involving close collaboration with local and GCC stakeholders. Day-to-day responsibilities include validating customer needs through research and interviews, refining product features and roadmap, and overseeing execution across sales, marketing, and customer success. The Co-Founder will help design and test commercial strategies, develop key partnerships, and support fundraising and investor relations. The role also includes building and mentoring a small, high-performing team, establishing internal processes, and ensuring alignment with the company’s vision and growth targets.
