Supply Chain Lead

We're building something new — and we're looking for the right person to build it with us.

This is a new beauty venture launching across the Middle East.

We're not sharing the full company details at this stage, but we can tell you this: it's backed by a serious team, it's moving fast, and it needs someone who genuinely knows how beauty supply chains work in this region — not someone who's learning on the job.

If you've worked inside a start-up beauty brand and you know what it takes to get a product registered, shipped, and on shelf in the GCC — we want to hear from you.

→ Handle product registration and brand licensing across GCC markets

→ Own all compliance documentation, technical files, and certifications

→ Stay ahead of regulatory changes and keep the business on the right side of every market

→ Be the go-to person when it comes to what's required, where, and by when

→ Place and manage production orders from planning through to delivery

→ Negotiate pricing, MOQs, and timelines directly with suppliers

→ Keep quality control tight and delivery schedules on track

→ Build supplier relationships that actually hold up under pressure

→ Coordinate end-to-end shipping across suppliers and logistics partners

→ Solve problems before they become delays — and sort them out fast when they do

→ Make sure products land where they need to be, when they need to be there

→ Keep an eye on what's new — ingredients, packaging formats, manufacturing methods

→ Bring in innovations that improve quality, cut costs, or speed things up

→ Help build processes that will scale as the business grows

You don't need a long list of qualifications.

You need the right experience.

→ You've worked in beauty supply chain — ideally inside a start-up or a brand that was building rather than coasting

→ You know GCC regulatory requirements inside out and have handled product registrations across Kuwait, UAE, KSA, or Egypt

→ You're comfortable talking to suppliers, negotiating hard, and following up until things are done

→ You understand beauty logistics in the Middle East — the quirks, the timelines, the paperwork

→ You don't wait to be told what to do.

You see the gap and fill it.

→ Experience with Sahel or regional trade platforms is a plus

This is a hands-on role in a fast-moving environment.

You won't be managing a team of ten or sitting in back-to-back strategy sessions.

You'll be doing the work — negotiating, registering, coordinating, problem-solving — and seeing the results of that work quickly.

If that sounds like your kind of role, it probably is.
