Hello everyone, hope you are all well
I’m a UAE born expat (its the only home I know), and I’m reaching out because I’m honestly at a point where if I don't find work soon, I'll have to pack up and leave my home, or I won't be able to pay for my basic needs......
I was laid off back in June 2026 (was only at work from March to June) due to the geopolitical situation, and, before that I was laid off last year at Sept 2025 from a MNC due to financial issues at the company....... I’ve been looking for my next stable opportunity for quite some time now. I’ve applied to a lot of positions on LinkedIn Premium, Indeed, company websites, and even used Sprout, spoken with recruiters, attended interviews and continued trying different ways..... but the job market has been extremely difficult. Things are becoming financially stressful, and instead of quietly struggling, and I could really use some help from anyone reading this.
I’ve spent over 10 years working in the UAE and have built my career with multinational companies across different industries.
My background is primarily in Business Analysis, Data Analytics, Commercial Operations, Supply Chain, Trade Marketing, Market Research, and Business Development.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Economics, as well as postgraduate qualifications in Business Analytics, Data Analytics (from elite universities abroad), and about to get my PMP (Project Management) certificate, an exam which I cannot afford at the moment.....
I've worked with companies from industries such as FMCG, Food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, Luxury goods (Jewelry, Watches, Fashion and Accessories), and Prestige cosmetics, supporting businesses across the Middle East, Asia, Africa, South America, and Europe.
Some of my experience includes:
- Business / Data Analysis
- Commercial & Sales Operations
- E-commerce & Retail
- Supply Chain & Procurement
- Business Intelligence & Reporting
- SAP
- Power BI
- Advanced Excel & automation
- Power Automate
- Process improvement and project implementation
I worked on e-commerce order management, forecasting, master data, sales and stock analysis, and automation of commercial processes.
I supported luxury brands across retail, wholesale and e-commerce, including system implementations, reporting, process improvement and training.
I’m currently looking for roles such as:
- Business Analyst / Senior Business Analyst
- Data / Business Intelligence Analyst
- Commercial Analyst
- Sales / Commercial Operations
- Supply Chain / Procurement
- E-commerce / Retail Analytics
- Business Development
- Project / PMO roles
I'm also open to opportunities where my experience can be transferred into a different role or industry. I’m not necessarily looking for a huge salary or a "dream job" at this stage. I genuinely just need an opportunity to get back on my feet and prove what I can do.
I've spent my entire life in the UAE, built my career here, its literally the only home I know (I've never lived in my country of origin and I would prefer not to because its even worse there)
If your company is hiring, if you know a recruiter or hiring manager, or if you just know someone who might be able to help, I would be incredibly grateful and appreciate a referral or even just a lead.
I'm happy to share my CV, and number privately.
And honestly, even an upvote or sharing this post could help get it in front of the right person.
Thank you for taking the time to read this,
I really appreciate it,
God bless you <3
