In line with vision of being a global trade enabler, DP World seeks to develop multiple business lines to connect buyers and suppliers. This includes initiatives like ecommerce for buyers to discover what they want to buy, and global logistics to be able to deliver the goods to them.
The global supply chain and logistics industry is being digitally disrupted, with technology adoptions like Cloud, Industry 4.0, IoT, Blockchains, Big Data, AI, Robotics, etc. DP World is the front runner in the revolution, pioneering the adoption of Hyperloop transportation, autonomous truck, drone delivery, Smart Sensor, BOXBAY storage system, blockchain, etc.
Similarly, a global eCommerce platform can provide access for both B2B and B2C customers to find what they want globally, not just locally. The associated costs can dramatically come down using physical and governmental assets like Free zone and economic parks. These ecommerce volumes will also add scale to our logistics network, thereby bringing down costs even further.
We are building a blockchain-backed trade logistics platform with the goal to provide the most frictionless experience for all parties in the cross-border global supply chain; shippers, suppliers, freight forwarders, shipping lines, logistics service providers. Problems we are tackling include purchase order and shipment visibility, ocean/air shipping route optimization, end-to-end cargo track & trace, transition time prediction, exception management automation, customer insights and growth, business performance analytics, transaction risk modelling, cross-organization process automation via logistics smart contract, etc.
Both ecommerce and logistics are early stage initiatives with a fast paced, highly collaborative start up like environment inside a global company.
We are looking exceptionally business-savvy and technology-savvy product managers to lead these efforts to scope and design products to meet our objectives. You need to be flexible and entrepreneurial, comfortable operating with ambiguity and willing to develop quick proof of concepts. You are passionate about the potential customer and societal impact and will operate at all levels, diving deep into the details while providing strategic inputs for the product. A successful candidate will be highly analytical, able to work extremely effectively with cross-functional peers, and adept at synthesizing a variety of technologies and capabilities into high quality, exciting, and simple products and experiences.
