Managing Director, GCC

Beauty & Consumer | Full P&L Ownership | Regional Growth

The Opportunity

Our client is a well-established international beauty and consumer business with strong, well-loved brands and a loyal following across the region. As the business enters its next phase, they are seeking a commercially driven Managing Director to own the GCC P&L and to lead the next chapter of profitable growth.

This is a senior leadership role for someone who combines strong commercial instincts with genuine entrepreneurial ownership. You will set the direction, shape the organisation, and be accountable for the result, in a market where brand relevance and customer experience matter as much as commercial execution.

The Role

• You will take full ownership of the GCC P&L, with accountability for revenue, profitability, and growth across the region. You will set a clear multi-year strategy and lead its execution, strengthening the brand's position, sharpening the commercial model, and identifying the partnerships and channel opportunities that drive sustainable growth.
• You will lead how demand is built, working closely with your marketing and commercial teams to elevate brand desirability and perceived value, and establishing the KPIs and disciplines to measure and steer marketing return. You will grow the business across its key channels, accelerate e-commerce, and strengthen the route to market to improve overall performance.
• You will build the customer and partner relationships that reinforce the brand's standing in its category. Equally, you will lead, develop, and grow a high-performing organisation across commercial, marketing, and digital functions — building capability, bench strength, and a culture of ownership and accountability.

The Ideal Candidate

You are a seasoned general manager with full P&L leadership experience in the UAE or wider Middle East, gained within beauty, personal care, consumer health, or premium FMCG. You have led a business through growth or transformation, especially in brand-building and commercial discipline.

You bring real depth across multiple channels and routes to market, and credible experience in digital and e-commerce growth, from marketplace acceleration to performance media and CRM. You are equally comfortable owning the numbers, walking the market, and inspiring a multi-functional team within a regional matrix organisation.

You are commercially sharp yet people-oriented, decisive in ambiguity, and resilient in a demanding market. You typically bring 12–15+ years of experience, including substantial general-management or senior commercial leadership with full P&L ownership
