Job Summary
We are looking for a highly specialized HR and Corporate Manager to build our trading desks in Dubai essentially from scratch. This is not a support role sitting behind an established organization — it is a hands-on, individual-contributor mandate for someone who can independently source, assess, and close senior physical trading talent in the oil & gas and petrochemical space, then stand up the corporate and contractual framework around them. You will operate without a team beneath you: recruitment, contracting, and HR administration will run through you directly until the desks you build are self-sufficient. This role is suited to an HR/talent professional who has genuinely operated inside a trading company, understands how a physical trading book, a desk, and a P&L actually work, and can speak credibly with traders, brokers, and industry counterparties as a peer rather than an outsider.
Key Responsibilities
• Building Trading Desks from Scratch
• Independently plan and build new trading and commercial desks (physical trading, brokerage-facing, and supporting commercial functions) within aggressive timelines, without relying on an internal recruitment team.
• Define desk structure, seniority mix, and reporting lines in partnership with senior management and Heads of Trading, based on trading strategy and target markets.
• Own the full lifecycle from headhunting through offer, contracting, and onboarding — accountable for time-to-hire and quality of hire on every desk built.
• Act as the first point of contact for new hires during the desk's early life, effectively functioning as their HR business partner until the desk matures.
Specialized Sourcing & Headhunting — Oil & Gas / Commodities
• Directly headhunt physical traders, cross-traders, brokers, and desk heads across middle distillates, base oils, petrochemicals, and related products, using direct market knowledge rather than generic sourcing channels.
• Maintain a live map of the oil & gas and commodities trading talent market: who is where, who is in-market, who is passively open, and who is unreachable — and keep this current.
• Assess candidates for genuine trading and commercial competence — book management, risk appetite, market fluency, counterparty relationships — not only for HR/cultural fit.
• Build and manage relationships with specialist commodities recruitment firms and brokers as a secondary channel, while keeping direct headhunting as the primary route for senior hires.
Contracts, Documentation & Rate Negotiation
• Draft and negotiate employment contracts, consultancy/cooperation agreements, and freelance arrangements tailored to trading roles, including PnL-linked and performance-based compensation structures.
• Lead rate and package negotiations directly with candidates, balancing market benchmarks, desk economics, and retention risk.
• Prepare and manage all supporting HR and corporate documentation: offer letters, employment terms, NDAs, non-compete/non-solicit clauses, and onboarding packs suited to a trading environment.
• Ensure contractual structures are aligned with UAE labour law and free zone requirements (e.g. DMCC, DIFC), coordinating with legal counsel where needed.
Corporate & Compliance Structure Management
• Oversee the corporate governance framework of the UAE entity and coordinate with group entities across other jurisdictions.
• Manage compliance with UAE labour law and free zone regulations, including visa, work permit, and Emiratisation requirements where applicable.
• Support internal compliance processes, including KYC/onboarding documentation and coordination with Risk and Legal on regulatory matters relevant to new hires and desks.
• Maintain corporate records and personnel documentation, and act as the primary point of contact for corporate administration matters tied to team build-out.
HR Procedures Management
• Develop and maintain HR policies, employee handbook, and standard operating procedures fit for a fast-scaling trading environment.
• Oversee payroll coordination, benefits administration, and WPS compliance for newly built desks.
• Handle employee relations matters and performance management as desks transition from build-out to steady state.
• Report directly to senior management on hiring progress, desk build-out status, and workforce metrics.</p><p>Must Have
• Demonstrated track record of building trading and commercial teams from zero to high-performing within a short timeframe — you have done this before, ideally more than once, and can speak to specific desks or teams you personally built.
• Deep, current knowledge of the oil & gas / petrochemical commodities trading industry, its roles, seniority structures, and compensation norms — this is non-negotiable; generalist HR/recruitment backgrounds without direct sector exposure will not be considered.
• An active, personal network of oil & gas and commodities trading candidates across trader, broker, operations, and structuring functions, with the ability to map who is available on the market and who is realistically reachable.
• Proven ability to work solo, without recruitment or HR support staff, and to own the entire hiring and contracting cycle end-to-end.
Qualifications
• Minimum of 8 years of professional experience within a trading company; oil & gas or commodities trading background is mandatory, not preferred.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in a managerial or senior individual-contributor role, with direct, hands-on ownership of hiring outcomes (not oversight of a recruitment team).
• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Law, or a related field.
• Proven, referenceable examples of building a trading or commercial team from zero to fully operational and high-performing within a short timeframe.
• Strong, current knowledge of the UAE and Dubai local labour market, employment law, and free zone regulatory frameworks.
• Open-minded, resilient, and pragmatic, with the ability to operate independently and under pressure in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial trading environment.
Skills
• Expert-level knowledge of the oil & gas / petrochemical commodities trading industry, its products, desks, and talent landscape.
• Direct headhunting and market-mapping skills specific to trading, brokerage, and commercial functions — not generalist corporate recruitment.
• Strong contract drafting and negotiation skills: employment contracts, cooperation/consultancy agreements, and rate negotiation.
• Solid understanding of UAE labour law, DMCC/free zone compliance, visa and work permit processes.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with traders, brokers, and senior executives, credible as an industry peer.
• High level of autonomy — comfortable owning results without a support team.
• Fluent in English; Arabic or other languages are an advantage.
• High level of discretion and integrity when handling confidential corporate, contractual, and personnel matters.
Perks
• A rare mandate to build trading desks from the ground up and directly shape the company's commercial capability in the UAE.
• Full autonomy and direct visibility with senior leadership, with influence over which desks get built and who leads them.
• Exposure to a dynamic, global trading business with significant growth potential.
• Performance-driven compensation structure reflecting the impact of the role.
• Fast career growth within an expanding, entrepreneurial organization.</p>
