Job description

We have partnered with one of the region’s largest and best-known businesses to find a product leader who will own the Buying & Sourcing domain of its Category Management Platform, end to end.

This is a blank-page-to-shipped role.

You’ll work with buying and sourcing teams across the business to understand how they really work, then build one scalable, platform-first way of doing it. You’ll lead your own small, skilled engineering team, and you’ll use AI across the whole delivery cycle, not just talk about it.

If you want ownership, pace and the chance to shape how a major business buys and sources, read on.

What you’ll own

• The full product lifecycle: discovery, PRDs, stories, sprint planning, delivery, UAT and rollout, with full accountability for outcomes
• Your engineering team: set direction, remove blockers and keep a small, independent team shipping fast
• The business partnership: work directly with buying and sourcing teams to map their workflows and turn them into platform-first solutions
• AI-powered delivery: use AI to create discovery mocks, generate PRDs and specs, design test cases and speed up engineering
• Standardisation: champion one way of working across business units and push back on one-off customisations that create technical debt
• The integration landscape: understand how the platform connects with the wider ERP and operational ecosystem

What you’ll bring

• Product experience on business platforms: internal operational tools, ERP-adjacent workflows or commerce infrastructure, ideally in retail
• Hands-on AI use across the SDLC, in discovery, specs, prototyping, test design and engineering acceleration. Real examples, not just familiarity
• A track record of leading a small engineering team independently, setting direction and driving delivery without day-to-day oversight
• Clear, confident communication: you run workshops, stakeholder reviews and leadership updates on your own
• Buying and sourcing domain knowledge across the end-to-end cycle

Why this role

• Own a core domain on a strategic platform used across the organisation
• A small, skilled team and the autonomy to move fast
• A business that actively wants AI built into how product gets delivered
• Competitive, UAE-market compensation and benefits

If this fits you - looking forward to speaking!! Only relevant profiles will be contacted.
