Amazon has unveiled its new office in Riyadh that houses employees from various sectors of the company’s operations in Saudi Arabia, the company said in an emailed statement.
The operations include e-commerce, smart devices, Amazon Payments Services, Amazon Internet Services, and Amazon Advertising.
“We are pleased to inaugurate our new office in the capital of the kingdom, confirming our commitment to serving Amazon customers, vendor partners, and employees in the Kingdom, as well as supporting its social and economic growth in line with the Saudi Vision 2030,” said Middle East and North Africa (MENA) vice president Ronaldo Mouchawar said.
Mouchawar added: “We will continue to develop our investments in the Kingdom across various sectors, including e-commerce, smart devices, and Amazon Payment Services, among others.”
The US multinational tech company’s new office is in the Riyadh Front Tower, and is the tallest of its kind in the area, providing “an ideal work environment to attract and retain talent in line with Amazon’s mission to strive to be Earth’s Best Employer.”
Since the launch of Amazon in KSA in 2020, the company has recruited over 1,400 talents across various sectors, and aims to attract more local talent to join the company.
The company will also launch an initiative to “empower and train Saudi talent by meeting with employees working in various functions across the company,” Amazon said adding that details about the initiative will be announced later this year.
“At Amazon, we talk about hiring builders who will help us invent and innovate on behalf of our customers. This means investing in the right talent and people who are equipped to be customer obsessed and to continuously improve the customer experience,” director of GCC Abdo Chlala said.
Chlala added: “With our new office, we look forward to welcoming not only our existing builders, but attracting and developing new talent through our upcoming talent program.”
Last March, the US tech company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Investment (MISA) and the Small and Medium Enterprises General Authority (Monsha’at), to enhance the company’s presence in the local market.
