Dubai South Free Zone · full-time · office-based · reports to the General Manager. Fluent Russian and working English are both required.
About us: an international trading company supplying mining and construction machinery, engines and spare parts (Caterpillar, Komatsu, Cummins, Epiroc) to mining companies in the CIS.
The role: we are rebuilding procurement for growing equipment volumes and need a head who owns the whole chain — from price request to delivery to the client — and manages a remote sourcing manager. The GM sets the task and expects the result; how to get there is your call.
Responsibilities:
• Sourcing: suppliers of machinery, engines and parts (dealers, independents, reman); RFQs and landed cost; quote price = purchase price.
• Purchasing: POs, terms and lead times, payment requests, readiness control, shipping documents.
• Logistics: sea, road, air; forwarders and routes from the UAE, China and Europe to ports and rail stations in Russia and the CIS; consolidation, free-zone warehouse; cost and deadline control, insurance, claims.
• Records: order database, weekly shipping report, documents for finance on time; move department records to Bitrix24.
• Team: tasks for the sourcing manager, quote checks, weekly status to the GM.
• Development projects: new suppliers, routes and product lines — taken to a result, not to a first step.
We offer: AED salary + % of deal margin + bonus; residence visa, medical insurance, EOSB; 3-month probation on full salary; a department to build your way.
How to apply: attach your CV and add 3–5 sentences about the most difficult order you took to delivery — what went wrong and how you closed it. No note — no review. Next steps: 20-min call → case assignment (2–3 h, 48-h deadline) → office interview → offer
