General Manager Jobs in Cairo, Cairo, Egypt at VALUE Business Planning
Title: General Manager
Company: VALUE Business Planning
Location: Cairo, Cairo, Egypt
We're Hiring: General Manager
V-ALUE Business Planning & Consulting | Management Consulting
📍 On-site — Cairo, Egypt | Full-time
About the role
V-ALUE is an established management consulting firm with 14+ years of delivering feasibility studies and business advisory across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf, and Africa — including a landmark feasibility study for the Suez Canal Authority, reviewed and approved at the highest national levels.
We're at a real growth inflection point — including expansion into the Saudi market in line with Vision 2030 — and the founder is looking for a General Manager to lead the company through its next phase: managing its functions, rebuilding its leadership structure, and driving its growth.
This is not a caretaker role. This is a leadership mandate: you'll direct the engines of growth — sales, marketing, and people — and build the team that runs them.
What you'll do
Growth Leadership
- Direct and manage the sales & business development function — set the strategy, build the pipeline system, lead the sales team, and oversee expansion into the GCC market (Saudi Arabia in particular).
- Direct the digital marketing function — own the strategy and positioning, manage the marketing team and channels (LinkedIn, paid, content, SEO), and hold the function accountable to lead-generation and conversion targets.
- Shape pricing, offers, and go-to-market strategy for our consulting services across Egypt and the Gulf.
Organization & Leadership Building
- Rebuild the company's board and senior leadership team — define the structure, recruit and develop the right leaders for each function, and build the management layer that will carry the firm's growth.
- Oversee the establishment of a complete HR management system — organizational structure, policies, performance management, and development paths — and manage its rollout across the firm.
- Lead, motivate, and develop a Gen Z-heavy team — building a culture of accountability and growth.
Operations & Direction
- Run day-to-day operations across delivery, HR, and admin — quality, deadlines, and accountability.
- Use business analytics to steer decisions — pipeline health, marketing ROI, delivery capacity, and firm performance.
- Oversee a parallel software business line alongside the core consulting work.
- Champion AI adoption across the firm's workflows and services.
- Report directly to the founder with full ownership of growth and organizational targets.
What we're looking for
- Proven experience in business development — you've done it hands-on before and can now lead it: strategy, pipeline systems, and team management.
- Strong command of digital marketing — enough to direct the function, challenge the team, and judge what actually converts.
- Experience selling or managing the sale of services into the GCC market (Saudi Arabia in particular).
- Experience building or restructuring leadership teams — hiring senior people and building management structures.
- Capable of overseeing the establishment of an HR management system — from org structure to performance and policies.
- MBA — or the equivalent knowledge earned through real business experience.
- Strong leadership skills with a genuine entrepreneurial spirit.
- Solid grasp of business analytics and data-driven decision-making.
- Proven ability to lead, engage, and retain Gen Z talent.
- A growth and expansion mindset — someone who builds, not just maintains.
- Comfortable overseeing a software/tech business line alongside consulting.
- Dependable, accountable, a continuous learner — and a firm believer in AI's power to transform how business gets done.
- Fluent Arabic and strong English.
- This is a full-time, on-site role based at our Cairo office.

You won't inherit chaos — you'll inherit a firm with a proven 14-year methodology, a serious reputation, and an established client base. Your mandate is to build the organization that scales it: the leadership team, the systems, and the growth engines. Direct partnership with the founder, real authority, and a defining role in the firm's next chapter
