  Majid Al Futtaim invites you to join us in our quest to create great moments for everyone, everyday! We are the leading shopping mall, residential communities, retail and leisure pioneer across the Middle East, Africa and Asia, serving over 560 million visitors a year. For the past two decades, we have shaped the consumer landscape across the region, transforming the way people shop, live and play, while maintaining a strong sustainability track record and the largest mall in the world to attain LEED Gold EBOM Certification.

If you enjoy being BOLD, PASSIONATE and TOGETHER, then Majid Al Futtaim is the destination for you. As two of the fastest growing economies in Africa, Kenya and Uganda have been major growth markets for us in recent years.   To continue this growth, we are now looking to appoint a Regional Director that can continue to lead the young, dynamic, driven teams in these two countries.   As the leader of these two countries you will be responsible for developing our market position and continue to identify new opportunities to expand our network of supermarkets, convenience and hypermarkets across both countries. Whether leading the strategic planning of both countries, in line with the group strategic direction, to managing the day to day commercial operation of the network, through your relationships with key partners and suppliers, you will drive the development of national concepts and bring innovative products and solutions to the market. As well as establishing strong connections with governing bodies to support and drive changes to legislation, you will lead the delivery of our best in class retail experience across our network and recommend areas for improvement and lead the development of mid and long term strategic initiatives. In line with our sustainability vision, you will be responsible for ensuring the proper conservation, utilization and profitability of the assets in the country and control the application of investments that reinforce productivity and profitability. To achieve this you will continue to grow and develop our internal talent to both meet and exceed customer and partner expectations and to continue to strengthen our position as an employer of choice.     As an experience grocery retail leader, you already understand what it takes to deliver in fast paced markets. You will already have at least 10 years demonstrated track record of large, regional or even national, grocery retail leadership, ideally in Africa or other fast growth markets, in which you have developed and implemented best practice, grown market share and developed brand recognition.
