AsianFin -- To expand its team in the Middle East, NIO has quietly begun recruitment in China for positions at level 5 and above, including senior director roles up to assistant vice president (AVP). The company is seeking talent in areas such as vehicle manufacturing, electric drive systems, intelligent cockpits, and autonomous driving.
According to an insider familiar with NIO's Middle Eastern operations, salaries will be comparable to domestic level 5 employees, although the scope of authority will be smaller, focusing on specific tasks. The insider noted, “Finding suitable candidates is challenging due to the requirement for long-term overseas assignments.”
When contacted for verification, a NIO representative confirmed that the team for the Middle East and North Africa, along with local teams in the UAE, has been established and is in the process of expanding.
