Business Development Executive – Hair & Beauty Marketplace; UAE

About Us

Souk Commerce is a UAE-based online marketplace focused on professional haircare, beauty, skincare, salon and wellness products. Unlike traditional distributors we do not purchase, warehouse or hold supplier inventory. Our supplier fulfilment marketplace model allows approved suppliers to retain and fulfil their own inventory while we focus on customer acquisition, marketing, technology and marketplace growth. We are currently in the early stages of building the business and are seeking commercially minded individuals who want to help shape its next phase of growth.

• Option 1:
  Permanent Employment
  Monthly salary AED 6,000–AED 8,000 depending on experience.
  UAE employment visa sponsorship available.
  Business expense reimbursement capped at AED 1,000 per month.

  Opportunity to grow with an early‑stage UAE e‑commerce business.

  Suitable for individuals with existing industry relationships seeking additional income alongside their current role.

This is not simply a job opportunity. It is an opportunity to join a business during its foundation stage and contribute to its long‑term growth journey.

This role is focused on identifying, qualifying and onboarding new suppliers onto the Hair & Beauty Souk platform. It is not an account management, customer service, purchasing or procurement role. The primary focus is supplier acquisition, supplier onboarding and marketplace growth. The successful candidate will be expected to actively progress supplier opportunities through qualification, onboarding and activation stages rather than simply generating leads, introductions or contact lists.

Success will be measured by the ability to identify suitable suppliers, secure meetings, progress commercial discussions and convert quality suppliers into active marketplace partners aligned with company strategy.
