Are procurement jobs in demand in the Middle East?
In 2021, the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) inaugurated the Middle East Green Initiative (MGI), a collaborative regional approach to address climate change.
The goals of this initiative are to build a greener future by focusing on economic diversification, job creation, and private-sector investment. This regional alliance naturally creates many jobs in the region with procurement roles in demand.
Procurement career paths offer many opportunities for growth and development, in the Middle East and beyond.
