If you searched “al futtaim careers” or “a future with us careers,” this guide walks through exactly what the group hires for, how the application actually works, and — importantly — clears up the mix-up between Al-Futtaim Group and Majid Al Futtaim, since these are two different companies that get confused constantly.

Al-Futtaim Group vs. Majid Al Futtaim: Know the Difference First

This trips up a lot of job seekers, so it’s worth sorting out before you apply anywhere.

Al-Futtaim Group is the automotive and diversified conglomerate founded by the Al-Futtaim family. It runs Toyota, Lexus, Honda, and Jeep dealerships in the UAE (through Al-Futtaim Motors), plus IKEA, ACE Hardware, Marks & Spencer, Al-Futtaim Engineering, and its Automall used-car business. Its careers portal is A Future With Us at afuturewithus.com.

Majid Al Futtaim (MAF) is a separate company built by a different branch of the family. It operates Carrefour Middle East, Mall of the Emirates, VOX Cinemas, and several lifestyle retail brands. Its careers portal runs through majidalfuttaim.com/careers, not afuturewithus.com.

If you’re specifically hunting for a Carrefour job, you want Majid Al Futtaim’s site — not Al-Futtaim Group’s. Applying to the wrong portal is one of the more common (and avoidable) mistakes in this job search.

What Roles Does Al-Futtaim Group Actually Hire For

Because the group spans several industries, “Al Futtaim jobs” covers a wider mix than most single-company listings.

Automotive division

  • Sales Executive / Showroom Sales Consultant (Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Jeep)
  • Service Advisor / Technician
  • Spare Parts Advisor
  • Automall Used Car Sales Executive

Retail division

Automotive and retail floor roles make up the bulk of ongoing vacancies. Corporate and engineering roles open less frequently and usually ask for specific prior experience.

  • Minimum age of 18; most corporate roles prefer candidates with a relevant diploma or bachelor’s degree
  • Automotive sales and technical roles often ask for prior dealership or workshop experience
  • Fluent English is expected across nearly all customer-facing roles; Arabic is a strong plus

How to Apply Through A Future With Us

  1. Go to afuturewithus.com, Al-Futtaim Group’s official careers site. Don’t confuse this with majidalfuttaim.com — check the URL before you register.
  2. Create a candidate profile. You’ll need an email address, phone number, and a CV ready to upload.
  3. Search open roles by division. Filter by Automotive, Retail, Real Estate, or Corporate to narrow down to what fits your background.
  4. Tailor your CV per division. A CV aimed at an automotive sales role should lead with sales numbers and customer targets; a retail CV should lead with customer service and stock handling experience.
  5. Submit and track your application. The portal lets you check application status under your candidate profile rather than leaving you guessing.
  6. Prepare for a multi-stage interview. Corporate and management roles typically involve 2–3 rounds; retail and entry-level roles are usually quicker.
  7. Never pay any fee. Al-Futtaim Group does not charge job seekers for applications, interviews, or placement. Treat any such request as a scam.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Applying to Majid Al Futtaim roles through the Al-Futtaim portal, or vice versa — they don’t share a candidate database.
  • Skipping the division filter and mass-applying to unrelated roles.
  • Leaving out a UAE driving license status on automotive applications.
  • Not following up. A polite status check after 2–3 weeks is normal practice.
