INSPIRE | EXHILARATE | DELIGHT

Have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes to make sure the right luxury product reaches the right store at exactly the right time?

Our Supply Chain Traineeship offers you the opportunity to discover the operational world behind some of the most exciting high-end luxury brands at Chalhoub Group.

This is an ideal opportunity for an Emirati graduate who enjoys working with data, solving problems, staying organized, and understanding how a business works behind the scenes.
