About the role: Supply chain and logistics

Supply chain and logistics roles organise the flow of goods from suppliers to customers: planning demand and inventory, booking transport, clearing customs and coordinating warehouses. Typical titles include supply chain planner, demand planner, logistics coordinator, freight forwarding executive, customs clearance officer and supply chain manager.

The UAE is one of the main trade and transhipment hubs between Asia, Africa and Europe, with major ports such as Jebel Ali, Khalifa Port and Khor Fakkan, and large cargo airports in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Employers include port and logistics operators, freight forwarders, shipping lines, airlines' cargo divisions, retailers, FMCG and pharmaceutical distributors, and manufacturers.

Recruiters look for people who are comfortable with numbers, systems and deadlines. Planning roles rely on ERP and forecasting tools and strong Excel, while forwarding and customs roles require a good grasp of shipping documents, incoterms and the customs procedures of each emirate. Experience with free zone movements and re-exports is a real advantage.
