Its shops can be found in the traditional Gold Souk in Deira, in the Dubai Gold District, on Al Fahidi Street in Bur Dubai and even inside hypermarkets in residential areas such as Al Qusais and Muhaisnah, according to the Dubai Jewellery Group’s official jeweller directory. With so many outlets serving so many communities, Malabar is a natural target for jewellery job seekers. This article explains the shop jobs Malabar Gold & Diamonds typically has in Dubai, what each job involves, how to use the Malabar Group’s official job portal, how to prepare for selection and how to protect yourself from impostors.

Malabar’s Presence in Dubai
Malabar Gold & Diamonds is the jewellery brand of the Malabar Group. The Dubai Jewellery Group directory lists several Dubai addresses for the brand, including:
- a shop in The Gold Center Building in the Gold Souk, Deira;
- a shop on Al Fahidi Street in Bur Dubai;
- a store in Hind Plaza in the Dubai Gold District;
- outlets inside hypermarkets in Al Qusais and Muhaisnah.
These very different locations mean very different shop experiences: busy tourist traffic in the souk, family shoppers in Bur Dubai and the Gold District, and quick, neighbourhood-style visits in hypermarket outlets. On the Malabar Group’s job portal, the United Arab Emirates appears as one of the regions you can filter vacancies by.
Jobs in Malabar Shops
Sales Executive
The heart of every Malabar shop. Sales executives greet customers, show designs from gold, diamond, uncut diamond and gemstone collections, explain purity, weight and pricing, and complete the sale with proper paperwork. In Dubai, sales staff serve customers from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Arab countries and beyond, so language skills are valuable.
Customer Relations Executive
Handles enquiries about purchase schemes, exchanges and repairs, guides visitors to the right counter and follows up with customers after purchase.
Cashier and Accounts Staff
Prepares invoices, processes payments, records exchanges according to company procedure and balances the till before the shop closes.
Inventory Staff
Maintains the item-by-item record of stock, helps with the morning and night counts, logs movements between outlets and gets the shop ready for audits.
Goldsmith and Repair Technician
Handles resizing, soldering, polishing and small repairs for customers, either in-store or at a central service point.
Helper, Host and Security
Helpers keep the shop clean and support staff; hosts welcome and guide customers; security personnel, often provided by licensed security firms, protect the premises.
Supervisor and Showroom Manager
Lead the shop team, manage targets, controls and customer escalations. These roles call for extensive jewellery retail experience.
Who Malabar Usually Prefers
- Experience: jewellery retail experience, ideally with a known brand, is a strong plus for sales and supervisory roles.
- Languages: English plus Malayalam, Hindi, Urdu, Tamil or Arabic, depending on the shop’s customers.
- Product knowledge: gold purities (22K, 21K, 18K), hallmarking, diamonds and gemstones.
- Customer service attitude: patience with families who spend a long time choosing.
- Clean record: background checks are normal in jewellery retail.
Each listing on the official portal states its own requirements, so read every vacancy carefully before applying.
How to Apply: Use the Official Portal
- Open the Malabar Group job portal and use the “Career by Region” option to select the United Arab Emirates, or browse by business and function.
- Create a profile and apply only for roles that match your experience.
- Keep your CV focused: jewellery sections handled, languages spoken, achievements and years of experience.
- Watch your email and phone for interview calls from official company contacts.
- Visa process: your future employer takes care of the UAE work permit and residence visa, and recruitment costs are not meant to be passed to you, so no one should ask you for money. Complete any emigration formalities that apply to your Indian passport category before departure.
The Malabar Group’s careers page also describes the group’s work culture and mentions perks including insurance cover, retirement savings schemes, bonuses and festival allowances, training, and food and accommodation facilities. Which of these apply to a Dubai shop role should be confirmed in your offer.
Preparing for the Interview
What interviewers commonly explore
- Your experience with gold and diamond jewellery and with demanding customers.
- How you would explain pricing based on weight, purity, making charges and stones.
- How you handle discount requests, exchanges and complaints.
- Your understanding of stock security and honesty.
- Your comfort with long shifts, weekends and festival peaks.
Practical round
Some interviews include a mock sale. Ask the “customer” about the occasion, budget and taste first, then present two or three suitable options and explain the price clearly.
Documents Checklist
- Valid passport and copies
- Education certificates
- Experience letters from previous jewellery or retail employers
- Updated CV with photograph
- Police clearance certificate, if requested
A Day in a Malabar Shop in Dubai
Days begin with the opening routine: authorised staff retrieve stock, trays are checked and displays are arranged. A short briefing covers the day’s gold rate, promotions and any special customer appointments. In a Gold Souk shop, the pace picks up quickly with tourists and bargain hunters; in Bur Dubai and the Gold District, families may spend an hour or more choosing wedding pieces; in hypermarket outlets, customers often drop in while shopping for groceries and want quick, clear advice. Staff rotate breaks to keep counters covered. At night, every item is counted and secured before the shutters close.
Festival and Peak Seasons
Malabar’s Dubai shops serve customers who celebrate many festivals. Diwali, Dhanteras and Akshaya Tritiya bring South Asian families; Eid brings Arab and Muslim customers from many countries; Onam is significant for the large Malayali community; and the winter tourist season adds visitors to the souk. Shopping festivals across the city also increase footfall. Expect longer hours and plan your energy and rest around these periods.
Souk Shop, Gold District or Hypermarket Outlet: What Changes?
The same brand can feel like three different workplaces. In the Gold Souk, staff must attract attention from a busy lane, switch languages quickly and deal with tourists who compare several shops. In the Dubai Gold District and Bur Dubai, the focus is on families, wedding purchases and repeat customers who expect personal service. Inside a hypermarket, the outlet is smaller and visits are shorter: shoppers may stop for a quick look at chains, earrings or gold coins between grocery aisles, so staff need to be approachable, fast and clear. When you apply, mention which environment you have experience in or prefer; it helps the hiring team place you well.
Your First Month on the Shop Floor
New joiners usually start with induction on company policies, security rules and the billing system, followed by product familiarisation in their section. Expect to shadow senior colleagues, carry trays, observe how pricing is explained and gradually handle simpler sales on your own. Learn the names of regular customers, keep notes on popular designs and ask questions about anything unclear, especially exchange and scheme rules. Punctuality and strict adherence to counting procedures are the fastest ways to earn your manager’s confidence.
Pay and Benefits
Pay depends on the role, shop, experience and performance, and Malabar does not publish salary figures for Dubai shop roles, so none are given here. Before signing, go through the written offer line by line: basic pay and incentives, housing, transport and meals, daily hours and weekly off, holidays and flights home, health cover, and how long the contract runs.
Career Path
Sales executives can grow into senior sales, section in-charge, supervisor and showroom manager roles. Cashiers and inventory staff can progress into accounts and audit positions. The group’s careers page highlights opportunities across functions, businesses and geographies, so experienced staff may find internal moves possible over time.
Beware of Fake Malabar Job Offers
- Fraudsters often use well-known brand names in fake “urgent hiring” posts. Rely on the official job portal.
- Never pay for visas, registration, medicals or interview slots.
- Do not trust offers sent only through chat apps or from free email accounts.
- A visit visa is not a work visa; do not fly on one because someone promised a shop job.
- Never share bank OTPs, PINs or card details.
Report scams to the police, and if you are already in the UAE, contact the Consulate General of India in Dubai for help.
