About Metayb

Metayb is an AI-led technology services and business transformation company purpose-built for the CPG and retail value chain. We design and deploy automation, data and AI solutions across major ERP platforms, supported by practitioner-led capabilities spanning source-to-pay, demand planning and management, distribution, supply chain transformation, finance operations and marketing technologies.

This is a hands-on leadership role. We are looking for someone who brings an active senior-level network and can personally originate, shape and close strategic opportunities while progressively building and leading a high-performing sales team.
