About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Introduction
Ever found yourself effortlessly explaining the latest smartphone features to friends—or convincing someone they need that new gadget? If so, you might be the perfect fit for our Sales and Marketing team in Al Karama, Dubai. We’re not just another electronics store; we’re a trusted neighborhood destination for tech lovers and everyday shoppers alike. Here, your knack for connecting with people and your passion for innovative products won’t go unnoticed.
About the Company
Tucked in the heart of bustling Al Karama, our store has built its reputation on more than just shelves stocked with the newest gadgets. We believe in creating memorable experiences—whether that means helping a regular customer choose a laptop for their university-bound son or hosting hands-on demo days for the latest smart home tech. Our team is close-knit, energetic, and takes pride in guiding customers with genuine care (plus, there’s always a spirited debate about the best headphones during lunch breaks). As we continue to grow, we’re looking for professionals who want to make their mark in Dubai’s dynamic retail scene.
