About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Introduction
Are you the kind of person who thrives on turning a ticking clock and a moving map into a perfectly coordinated delivery? We’re looking for a Logistics Officer who doesn’t just track boxes, but orchestrates moments — from shipment to satisfied client.

About the Company
We’re a growing player in the Dubai logistics scene, hustling every day to make sure goods get where they need to go — on time, every time. Our team is close-knit, with coffee-fueled mornings and the kind of “one team, one dream” spirit you can sense as soon as you walk through the door. We value initiative, celebrate small wins (Friday treat runs are a ritual), and believe that honest communication is the backbone of a healthy workplace.

- Liaise with suppliers, transport companies, and internal teams to resolve any hiccups and keep supply chains running efficiently.
- Update and maintain logistics records, from waybills to warehouse logs, ensuring everything is always audit-ready.
- Suggest improvements to streamline processes, whether it’s fine-tuning routes or updating inventory procedures.
- Stay on top of regulations and company policies to ensure compliance at every turn.
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Solid experience in logistics, supply chain coordination, or a similar role (ideally in the UAE market).

Nice-to-Haves:
- Working knowledge of logistics software or ERP systems.
