Large FMCG Group | Food Distribution | Dubai, UAE


A well-established, large FMCG group in the UAE is looking to appoint a Head of Ecommerce to lead and scale its independent online marketplace.


Reporting directly to the CEO and COO, this is a high-impact leadership role with full ownership of the eCommerce business — strategy, operations, commercial performance, and growth.


The Role


You will be responsible for building and leading the entire eCommerce function as a standalone business unit within the group. This includes:



  • Full P&L ownership and revenue accountability


  • Driving top-line growth and achieving ambitious sales targets


  • Leading end-to-end eCommerce operations (commercial, digital, supply chain, customer experience)


  • Overseeing logistics, last-mile delivery, and fulfillment performance


  • Optimizing platform performance, conversion, and customer acquisition


  • Building and mentoring a high-performing cross-functional team


  • Working closely with the CEO & COO on strategic direction and expansion



This is not a “managerial” role — it is a business leadership position with full commercial responsibility.


The Ideal Candidate



  • 10+ years of progressive experience in eCommerce, digital retail, or online marketplaces


  • Proven leadership experience managing multi-functional teams


  • Strong commercial acumen with a track record of delivering revenue growth


  • Experience owning and managing a full P&L


  • Deep understanding of FMCG, grocery, food distribution, or high-volume retail models


  • Strong operational knowledge of logistics and fulfillment ecosystems in the UAE


  • Strategic thinker with hands-on execution capability



Why This Role?



  • Direct reporting line to CEO & COO


  • Autonomy to shape and scale an independent marketplace


  • Established group backing with strong infrastructure


  • Opportunity to build a category-leading digital business in the region
