Qualifications

• Holds a bachelor’s or master’s degree in marketing

• Proven track record devising digital strategy and running paid campaigns (Meta Ads, Google Ads) with budget ownership and ROI monitoring.
• Strong creative and conceptual ability to ideate campaigns independently, not only execute briefs.

• Experience in in-app marketing

• Prior experience in education, hospitality, premium consumer brands, or a similarly relationship-driven B2C sector is an advantage.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills; comfortable operating between strategic and hands-on execution.

Candidate Profile

• Currently operating in a similar capacity in a premium brand or agency.
• A blend of strategic thinker and hands-on doer, equally comfortable shaping a digital roadmap and briefing a creative deck.
• Naturally creative, with strong instincts for what makes a campaign land with a parent/consumer audience.
• Collaborative; can guide and mentor a small existing team without needing to run it top-down.
• Based in Dubai.
• Career trajectory suggests readiness for the next step up in the medium term.

Key Responsibilities
