As part of its commitment to the development of the local economy, the Arab World’s sole tech unicorn, Bayut & dubizzle, are embarking on a landmark recruitment drive, offering talented professionals in the UAE an exciting chance to work with two of the region’s biggest homegrown brands. Bayut & dubizzle have announced over 200 exciting career opportunities across its business units in the UAE to grow their talent pool and continue to build innovative, industry-defining products and solutions.
This strategic expansion in the UAE comes as part of the wider goals of Bayut & dubizzle’s parent company, EMPG to attract the best professionals from the region. In addition to the vacancies in the UAE, EMPG has announced 200 additional opportunities in other key markets including Pakistan, Lebanon and Egypt.
The Director of HR for Bayut & dubizzle, Suzanne Gandy, confirmed that the group is focussed on promoting the national economy, developing domestic competencies and providing a platform to nurture local talent at grassroot levels.
“We are a tech and data-driven organisation that understands the importance of building the local talent pool and developing competencies for new and emerging technologies. Our focus remains to provide an excellent platform for growth with a work culture that is inclusive, supportive and gives unmatched opportunity for development. As an equal opportunities employer, we are also looking forward to continuing our legacy of having an almost equal ratio of male and female employees!”
Haider Ali Khan, CEO of Bayut & dubizzle, and Head of EMPG MENA said: “At Bayut & dubizzle, and the wider EMPG businesses, we have always remained highly committed to nurturing local talents across the region and providing them the opportunity to be a part of a truly data driven, innovative company. We are keen to attract and retain talented professionals who can help us to create competitive advantages and deliver sustainable value and contribute towards shaping the future of the technology sector in the MENA region. As a UAE-based unicorn, EMPG is defining new paths and is proud to be playing a role in cultivating a new generation of experts capable of taking on leadership roles while keeping up with the best in the world.”
Earlier this year, Dubai-based Emerging Markets Property Group (EMPG) and OLX Group, owners of homegrown technology success stories; Bayut & dubizzle, announced the merger of their MENA and some South Asian assets to form an AED 3.6 billion (US$1 billion) Dubai-based unicorn company. Both Bayut & dubizzle are operating under the leadership of EMPG, which also manages highly successful online classifieds businesses including Zameen in Pakistan, Bproperty in Bangladesh, Mubawab in Morocco and Tunisia, Kaidee in Thailand and more. In addition to dubizzle, the merger has also brought the OLX entities in Egypt, Lebanon, Pakistan and several GCC countries into the EMPG umbrella as well.
