Our German client, a well-established industrial company, is launching a new, dynamic business venture in the UAE with a start-up spirit. Under a new brand focused on digital and service-driven solutions, the goal is to enhance efficiency, transparency, and sustainability for highly sophisticated clients with complex business models in market segments such as construction and infrastructure, operations and facility management, manufacturing as well as vertical multiples, which comprises projects in AI and vertical farming amongst others. We are looking for hands-on, forward-thinking professionals eager to build, shape, and drive something new from the ground up.

• Champion digital tools and systems (e.g., SAP) to increase transparency, efficiency, and traceability throughout the supply chain
• Work closely with the Managing Director and CFO to align on cost, speed, and scalability targets. Drive initiatives that support business expansion
• Act as a builder and enabler – hands-on, agile, and solution-oriented in a start-up-like environment where no task is too small
• Ensure all supply chain and procurement activities meet legal, regulatory, and ethical standards, particularly in cross-border transactions

• Strong proficiency in SAP (or similar ERP systems), Microsoft Excel, and digital planning tools
• You are highly organized, resilient under pressure, and excel at prioritizing in a fast-moving, hands-on setup
• You combine analytical thinking with emotional intelligence, integrity, and strong communication skills – inside and outside the organization
• A professional appearance, absolute discretion, and the ability to act autonomously complete your profile
• You are not bound by rigid structures – you thrive in environments that require flexibility, drive, and ownership
