Pharma manufacturer scaling direct-to-consumer and marketplace sales across Middle East and India
Protectol Health operates a multi-division pharmaceutical business spanning conventional medicines, nutraceuticals, and industrial safety — structured around separate R&D and commercial teams. The hiring profile is heavily sales and marketing skewed (34 of 58 open roles), with active projects centered on D2C e-commerce, marketplace expansion, and performance marketing, suggesting a shift from traditional pharma distribution toward direct consumer channels. Tech stack leans on Adobe creative tools, AWS, and analytics platforms (Looker, Google Analytics, SEMrush), with no emerging tech adoption — typical of a manufacturing-first org building sales infrastructure.
Protectol Health is a privately held pharmaceutical manufacturer founded in 2017 and headquartered in Dubai. The company operates five distinct business units: conventional pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, nutriments, technology, and industrial safety — each with dedicated R&D functions. With 201–500 employees across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, India, and Kuwait, the company is expanding regional distribution and launching direct-to-consumer channels. Current operational challenges center on regulatory approval timelines, product reimbursement optimization, and scaling online sales infrastructure alongside traditional pharma channels.
Protectol Health is based in Dubai and actively hiring across six countries: United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, India, and Kuwait — reflecting its regional pharma and direct-to-consumer expansion.
Active projects include launching a D2C e-store, implementing subscription models, expanding marketplace presence, running performance marketing campaigns, managing eCTD dossier submissions for regulatory approval, and coordinating medical education events for key opinion leaders.
