The Purchasing Manager oversees purchasing activities for Rixos Bab Al Bahr, ensuring the timely, cost-effective procurement of food, beverages, operating supplies, equipment, and services. The role typically requires proven purchasing or procurement experience in a hotel or resort, strong knowledge of suppliers and the UAE market, negotiation skills, budgeting and cost-control ability, and familiarity with purchasing systems and inventory procedures. Candidates should be commercially minded, organized, ethical, and able to maintain quality and service standards while reducing unnecessary expenditure. Good communication, leadership, analytical skills, and the ability to work closely with finance, culinary, housekeeping, engineering, and other departments are expected.
Rixos Bab Al Bahr is an all-inclusive luxury resort in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, operated under the Rixos brand and part of Accor. Located on Al Marjan Island, the resort offers extensive accommodation, restaurants, bars, entertainment, pools, wellness facilities, and family-oriented activities. Its operating environment is large and fast-paced, requiring coordinated purchasing, inventory management, cost control, and supplier relationships across multiple departments. Rixos is known for its energetic hospitality style, international guest base, and broad food, beverage, leisure, and entertainment offering. As part of Accor, employees may benefit from structured hotel operations, international standards, training opportunities, and access to a global hospitality network. Employment packages in the UAE may include accommodation or an allowance, transportation, meals, medical cover, annual leave, and return airfare, depending on the contract.
The United Arab Emirates is not an island, although this role is based on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah. Hospitality is a major source of employment, with opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, events, retail, aviation, and business services. UAE culture blends Islamic traditions with a highly international workforce; modest dress, respect for local customs, and sensitivity during Ramadan are important. Lifestyle ranges from resort beaches and desert activities to shopping, dining, and modern entertainment. Employers usually sponsor work visas, arranging entry permits, medical checks, Emirates ID processing, and residency formalities. Candidates should confirm whether accommodation, transport, meals, insurance, flights, and relocation support are included. Ras Al Khaimah is generally quieter and less expensive than Dubai, but staff should budget for deposits, personal transport, and initial expenses. Check contract terms and official UAE requirements before relocating.
