Job description / Role
Operations Manager - American Eagle - Kuwait
With more than 70 brands and stores across Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Lebanon and Morocco our store operations management teams may travel 1000s of miles each month, carry several different currencies, change time zones day in day out and thrive on the challenges that such a widespread remit provides them.
Working as an Operations Manager for Alshaya gives you the opportunity to work with a dynamic, performance-focused team in a region where the retail industry is thriving. In recent years there has been a strategic plan of growth; new stores in existing markets, existing brands to new markets and new brands to existing markets. And the plan continues.

From our stores to our offices, we encourage creativity, identify strengths and provide a work environment that provides the freedom for you to be you. If that sounds like a fun place to work and grow your career... you're right.
