About Komercon Trading
Komercon Trading is building international, sustainable supply chains for the economy of tomorrow. We connect biomass, waste-derived and alternative materials to new applications in energy, materials and chemicals; practically, transparently and always with respect for regulations and environmental impact.
We are an entrepreneurial trading company: short lines, trust, responsibility and room to maneuver. We operate internationally and are growing fast, driven by market opportunities and the global energy transition.
In 2025, we established our presence in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, a strategic hub for sustainability, innovation and global trade. The coming years are all about building, scaling and professionalizing our activities in the Middle East. There is no rigid blueprint yet; this is something we will shape together.
Your Role, At the heart of the Scale-Up
As Chief of Staff, you will be a key player in setting up and growing Komercon Trading Internationally from our Abu Dhabi office. You will work closely with the Managing Director and be involved in almost everything that matters as we establish our regional platform.
This is not a traditional staff role. It is for someone who enjoys:
- building an organization from the ground up,
- connecting people, ideas and activities,
- turning ambition into concrete action.
You naturally move between strategy and execution. One moment you help define strategic direction, the next you are hands-on making things happen. You act as a sparring partner, organizer and trusted counterpart, internally and externally.
What you will be doing In practice, you will help Komercon take root and grow International from our new Abu Dhabi office by:
- bringing structure and clarity to plans, priorities and daily operations
- strengthening alignment between the Netherlands-based team and International activities
- coordinating and driving key initiatives and projects
- contributing to organisational setup, processes and team building
- supporting the Managing Director in preparation, decision-making and representation
The role will evolve with the company. You help shape it.
Who we are looking for
We are not looking for a perfect checklist, we are looking for the right person.
Someone who:
- wants to commit to Komercon and grow with the company
- takes ownership and enjoys responsibility
- is comfortable in an environment where not everything is defined yet
- enjoys collaboration and building something meaningful
- can operate independently while staying closely connected to the team
Experience in the UAE is a must, and affinity with international trade, sustainability or complex organisations is valuable. Most important : your mindset, curiosity and drive.
What we offer
- A central role in building Komercon’s Middle East organisation
- Direct collaboration with management and real influence on direction and decisions
- Significant room for personal and professional growth
- An entrepreneurial, international and informal working environment
- Flexible start (part-time) with a clear path toward full-time
- The opportunity to work on real projects with visible impact
