Co-Founder

Description:

We are looking for a serious, hands-on Co-Founder to join us in building and scaling Ruh Al-Fann from the ground up.

This is not an investor-only or advisory position. We are looking for someone who thinks like an entrepreneur, takes ownership, and understands what it takes to build a global luxury business.

The ideal partner will bring a combination of business leadership, strategic relationships, market access, fundraising capabilities, and execution experience.

Your Role

- Lead strategic partnerships and fundraising initiatives across Dubai and the GCC.
- Establish relationships with luxury retailers, fashion houses, distributors, hospitality groups, and premium department stores.
- Leverage your professional network to secure commercial partnerships and institutional opportunities.
- Bring investor access and/or capital to accelerate the company's growth.
- Lead market entry strategies across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and other international markets.
- Help position Ruh Al-Fann as a recognised sustainable luxury fashion brand.
- Work closely with the founding team on business development, operations, and execution.

Who We're Looking For

- Entrepreneurs, business leaders, investors, or high-net-worth individuals with a strong entrepreneurial mindset.
- Established professional networks within Dubai's luxury, fashion, retail, investment, or GCC business ecosystem.
- Proven experience building, managing, or scaling a business.
- Access to investment capital, family offices, angel investors, or strategic funding networks.
- Experience in luxury retail, fashion, international trade, distribution, or brand development is highly desirable.
- Strong negotiation, leadership, and business development skills.
- Someone entrepreneurial, ambitious, decisive, and passionate about sustainability.
- Willingness to commit to a long-term founding partnership and actively contribute to the company's growth.
