About the role: Operations manager
Operations managers make sure an organisation delivers its products or services efficiently, overseeing teams, processes, budgets and performance indicators. In the UAE, the title is found in logistics, hospitality, retail, facilities management, healthcare, manufacturing and services, while general managers and directors lead entire business units.
The scope depends heavily on the sector: running a warehouse or fleet, managing several restaurants or stores, overseeing a hotel's departments or a contact centre, or coordinating maintenance contracts across many sites. Many regional headquarters in Dubai and Abu Dhabi also recruit senior leaders with responsibility for several Gulf markets.
Employers look for proven experience managing people and profit-and-loss results, a data-driven approach to performance and the ability to improve processes. Knowledge of local regulations in the relevant sector and of the regional market is a strong asset for senior roles.
Main responsibilities
- Plan and supervise day-to-day operations
- Set and track performance indicators
- Manage budgets, costs and resources
- Lead, recruit and develop teams
- Improve processes and service quality
Skills employers look for
- People leadership at scale

- Lean, Six Sigma or process improvement methods
- Sector-specific operational experience
- Strong reporting and decision-making
