  • Act as the operational point of contact for regional partners and distributors.

Financial & Performance Management

  • Own operational budgets and cost control, including logistics, warehousing, and production-related costs.
  • Track and report KPIs such as service level, OTIF, inventory turns, waste, and cost per unit.
  • Identify risks and develop mitigation plans related to supply disruptions, capacity constraints, or regulatory changes.

Team Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Lead and develop the operations and supply chain team.
  • Work closely with sales, marketing, finance, and senior management to align operational capabilities with business goals.
  • Establish clear SOPs and performance standards across operations.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Bachelors degree in Supply Chain, Operations Management, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
  • 8–12 years of experience in operations and supply chain roles within the FMCG or Food Service industry.
  • Proven experience managing regional supply chains across the Middle East.
  • Strong knowledge of food manufacturing, cold chain (where applicable), and distribution models.
  • Hands-on experience with demand planning, inventory optimization, and supplier management.
  • Strong understanding of food safety standards and regulatory requirements in the region.

Skills & Competencies

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Practical, hands-on leadership style with the ability to operate both strategically and tactically.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and negotiation skills.
  • High attention to detail with a strong focus on execution.
