About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Introduction
Looking to take the next step in your administrative career — or maybe you’re simply ready for a workplace where every day brings something new? We’re on the lookout for a dedicated Admin Assistant and Data Entry Clerk to join our fast-growing warehouse operations in Deira City, Dubai. If you thrive in bustling environments and love keeping things organized, this is a huge opportunity to make a visible impact on daily business (without being stuck behind the same desk all day).
About the Company
Nestled in the heart of Deira City, our warehouse operation is more than just racks and logistics — it's a vibrant team where everyone knows your name (and maybe your favorite lunch spot, too). Our employees come from all walks of life, but we’re united by our drive to get things done efficiently...and have a little fun in the process. Open communication and mutual support are at the center of how we work; whether you’re new to the team or a seasoned hand, we make sure your ideas are heard and your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Accurately entering data related to inventory, shipments, and warehouse activities into our digital systems — double-checking details is second nature for you.
- Preparing and maintaining essential records and documentation for daily warehouse operations.
- Coordinating communication between warehouse staff, management, and external partners to ensure smooth workflows.
- Managing digital and physical filing systems so that important info is at your fingertips — and everyone else’s too.
- Supporting the admin team with everyday tasks, from scheduling appointments to updating supplier contact lists.
- Tackling an evolving to-do list: whether it’s handling urgent requests, updating spreadsheets, or assisting with last-minute stock checks, you jump in where needed.
What You’ll Bring
- At least 1 year of hands-on experience in admin support and/or data entry — ideally in a fast-paced environment like warehousing, logistics, or retail.
- A sharp eye for detail and a knack for catching errors before they cause problems.
- Comfortable with MS Office (especially Excel) and able to pick up new software quickly.
- Strong spoken and written English (other languages are a big bonus in our multinational team).
- Good organizational habits, from keeping files tidy to managing priorities under pressure.
- Currently residing within the UAE (applications from outside the UAE cannot be considered for this role).
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive salary (AED 3,000–4,000 depending on your experience) — paid on-time, every month.
- Visa sponsorship, accommodation, and medical insurance fully covered by the company, so you can focus on your work (not paperwork).
- Inclusive, multicultural team — we celebrate every culture and support each other as we grow.
- Career progression in a company that’s expanding fast; many of our managers started in roles just like this one.
- Central Deira City location — easily accessible by public transport, with great shops and food nearby.
- Practical support for settling in: from onboarding help to those “where’s the best lunch?” tips from your new colleagues.
Every day brings something different here — and we work hard to make sure you feel welcomed, supported, and part of our big team. If you’re ready to start something new (with some stability to go with it), this could be the ideal next move.
