Marketing in retail is not just about creating campaigns. It is about driving footfall, building brand recognition, and turning promotions into sales. Nahla Al Wadi, a leading FMCG trading company with over 10,000 products across the GCC, is looking for a Marketing Manager to develop and execute strategies that strengthen its brand and grow its customer base.

You will manage campaigns across digital, social, print, and in-store channels, coordinate promotions, and analyse market trends to identify opportunities. You will work closely with sales and operations teams to align marketing efforts with business objectives. This is a role for someone who can think creatively and act commercially, balancing brand building with measurable results. You will also be responsible for managing the marketing budget, working with external agencies, and ensuring that every campaign delivers a clear return on investment.

The ideal candidate has proven marketing experience, preferably in FMCG or retail, with strong creative and analytical skills. You are comfortable managing multiple campaigns, working with agencies, and reporting on performance. You understand the UAE market and its consumers, and you can adapt strategies to different channels and audiences. Immediate availability is an advantage.

This is a full-time, on-site position based in the UAE. Compensation is commensurate with experience.

To apply:
Send your CV to ghr@nahlaalwadi.com with "Marketing Manager" in the subject line. The last date for applications is 15 October 2026.

When you apply, take a moment to make your application stand out. Highlight specific campaigns you have led, including the channels used and the results achieved, because concrete numbers and outcomes will carry more weight than generic descriptions. In your cover letter, describe how you approach marketing in a retail or FMCG environment, focusing on driving footfall and sales rather than just brand awareness, since this role is measured by commercial impact. If you have experience with digital marketing, social media, or in-store promotions, mention it clearly, as versatility across channels is valuable here. If you have worked with agencies or managed budgets, state that explicitly, because it shows you can handle the operational side of marketing as well as the creative side. Finally, confirm your availability to join, as immediate starters are preferred and will be given priority during shortlisting.

Feel free to share this opportunity with anyone in your network who might be a strong fit.
