JE Culture
Together, we dare to aspire and work to achieve.
Jordan Exports’ Culture
It’s no secret how invaluable the exports trade contribution is to a country’s overall stability. We recognize that value, and we go beyond striving to cement Jordan’s position as a global player, not just in international trade, but also as a hub for innovation, collaboration, and communication for the benefit of all Jordanians, especially the less privileged.

Living the Values
It’s great to have exceptional values, but people often question if others share the same goal or if we live such values. At JE, we support each other, and we hold each other accountable. We aspire, and we work hard to live our values to the fullest.
JE expects all to collaborate and work together to evolve in all aspects. We strive to create an atmosphere of open communication and mutual support, where constructive feedback at all levels is routine and welcomed, fostering learning and faster improvement. We aspire to be continuously evolving towards our best.
Sound judgment and innovation go hand in hand at the heart of JE. With excellence in mind, we want to do things faster, smarter, and cause the greatest impact. Doing so requires openness to new ideas and agility to adapt and achieve goals. Realistically, none of that is possible without a great team.
The Best Team
We treat all with respect and fairness, never losing sight of honesty and the relentless pursuit of excellence. We discourage politics and bias, and we recognize that diversity and disagreement have the potential to spark change and progress.
We want to prioritize JE, its clients, and partners; there is no room for favoritism. We care about our colleagues, and we expect them to do their best and be their best to accomplish amazing feats while feeling fulfilled and recognized. We want to be the best, hire the best, and work with the best.
Despite our never-ending pursuit of excellence and evolution, we aren’t afraid of mistakes because we realize that they result from progress. One only makes mistakes when trying new ideas or approaches. We encourage boldness and innovation, so we embrace failure with responsibility and respect. Mistake and error avoidance does not equate to better results, and this notion is at the core of our values.
Freedom with Self-Discipline and Work Ethics
JE aspires to be a company where everyone feels responsible for every task and everyone; when people see a mistake or error, they act without being told to do so. We must not ignore a request for assistance or consultation because we expect each other to offer guidance and always collaborate.
At JE, we know that inspiring and engaging our team is far better than managing and controlling them. Self-discipline and ethics drive us continuously towards significant impact and superior results. Trust is our baseline, and we do our best to fulfill that promise.
Independence and Good Judgment
Leadership is fundamental, and a good leader informs and empowers their team to make decisions independently and confidently. Decisions require a responsible person to make the call. We want our team to consist of independent thinkers and decision-makers who consult their managers only when they are unsure which path is the best to take. We encourage and try to develop leadership skills in all.
Managers are most needed in urgent and critical decisions when there is no time or enough context for individuals to take charge.
We strive to instill in our team that JE is the priority, not pleasing management or a particular group.
Disagreements with management might occur, and they are welcomed; that is why we insist on a culture of respect and collaboration so that we can disagree and grow from it. We do not believe in hiding information or silence to keep the peace. We believe in sharing disagreements and exposing them respectfully and with evidence to clarify the whys of such a dispute.
Sharing the Load and the Responsibility
At JE, we welcome everyone to debate our goals and strategy. With everyone on board, we can trust each other to execute our strategic plan with minimal need for approvals and intervention. We want to minimize micromanagement as much as possible to grow JE as a flexible and agile giant in export promotion and development.
Seeking Excellence
We are a forward-thinking company, so we aim to evolve and innovate. Hence, instead of striving to preserve our culture, we strive to keep it relevant and growing. We expect our team to contribute to JE’s culture improvement, always looking for the smartest and most creative way to solve and accomplish more together.
