Job description

Not a clipboard job. This is about building the backbone of a growing distribution business.

Our client is scaling fast in the UAE, with a portfolio anchored in food and frozen products. They need a Warehouse Manager who can move beyond firefighting and bring structure, compliance, and growth-ready discipline.

What You’ll Do

• Lead day-to-day warehouse operations across inbound, storage, and outbound.
• Ensure cold chain compliance, shelf-life control, and food safety standards.
• Build SOPs and reporting systems fit for wholesale, HoReCa, and modern trade clients.
• Manage inventory accuracy, delivery performance, and cost efficiency.
• Lead and coach a small but growing team, upgrading processes as the business scales.
• Work hand-in-glove with sales, procurement, and logistics for smooth order fulfilment.

What You Bring

• 8+ years of warehouse management in food or frozen distribution.
• Strong command of cold chain operations, food safety, and regulatory compliance.
• Hands-on leadership style—you roll up your sleeves and solve problems on the floor.
• Comfort with mid-sized, fast-growing environments where processes are still being built.
• Fluency with WMS/ERP systems and practical stock control.

This role is about creating stability while fueling growth. If you know how to keep frozen moving, trucks loading, and clients happy without breaking compliance—you’ll be the backbone this business needs.
