At DHL, people mean the world to us. That’s why our goal has always been to attract and retain the best talent the world over. We provide challenge and opportunity for personal and professional development. We recognise the difference you bring to our business, and together we share the pride of building THE logistics company for the world.

Customer Solutions & Innovation (CSI) is DHL's cross-divisional commercial and innovation unit. We are responsible for managing about 100 of DHL's largest and most strategically important customers providing them with sector expertise, best in class account management and most innovative products & solutions.

The Mobile Innovation Center is an ecosystem expansion to compliment the other 3 DHL Innovation Centres globally. Kicking off the first stop in Dubai in parallel to Expo 2021 (and strategically located nearby), the flexible format is suited for MEA’s diverse market, and will showcase cutting edge innovations and industry capabilities. The Innovation Center building itself would represent the cutting edge technology in construction: it would operate as permanent building having all necessary facilities (showroom, meeting spaces, office, hospitality area) but can be dismantled and relocated to a new location.

The Customer Experience Manager is responsible for driving operational excellence of the Innovation Center as well as ensuring that building is operated and maintained optimally. It is a team lead role and will require you to provide direction to facilitate the best possible customer experience for visitors and successful execution of the events and workshops that will be hosted at the Innovation Center including center opening.

Mondays to Fridays. The position will be based in Dubai till July 2022, afterwards further 6-10 months assignments within the MEA region.
