How to Apply


  1. Visit the official Almarai Careers website, register your CV, and search/apply for current openings. 

  2. Check reputable job portals (e.g. Bayt, Gulf talent, Naukri gulf) filtering for "visa sponsorship" roles at Almarai CRA Benefit Payments. 

  3. Consider licensed recruiting agencies that provide placements with official sponsorship routes.

  4. Tailor your resume and cover letter to emphasize relevant skills, flexibility, and interest in relocation.

  5. If shortlisted, Almarai HR will guide you through interviews, contracts, medical exams, and visa procedures. 

Tips & Caution

  • Do not rely on visit visas to enter Saudi Arabia for job search. Companies usually avoid hiring visitors due to regulatory fines and restrictions on interviews and contracts.

  • Beware of unauthorized agents claiming to offer jobs—Almarai does not charge recruitment fees. Always apply through official channels to avoid scams.

  • Saudi Arabia’s Saudization policy encourages hiring Saudi nationals. That means candidates without in-demand skills or connections may find competition stiff unless in specialized roles.
