About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Introduction
Looking for a new start in the heart of Dubai's buzzing business district? Our team in Business Bay is on the hunt for Administrative Staff eager to be the friendly face and steady hands behind our daily operations. If you pride yourself on staying organized (think: color-coded folders, smooth schedules, and inboxes at zero) and like being the person everyone relies on, you might just be the missing piece we’re searching for. There’s real opportunity here for someone who enjoys variety in their workday and thrives on clear communication.
About the Company
Let’s pull back the curtain a bit. We’re a tight-knit office operating at the intersection of ambition and teamwork. Our corner of Business Bay feels more like a second home: morning coffees are a ritual, and someone always cracks a joke at just the right time to kick-start the day. We may not be a massive corporation, but that’s our edge—every team member matters, and ideas travel fast around here. Growth isn’t just a buzzword; it’s our daily mode, and we all have a hand in shaping where we go next.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Keeping our office operations smooth—managing filing, document prep, and ensuring everything is where it should be

- Assisting with basic bookkeeping and data entry tasks when needed
- Supporting colleagues across departments with admin tasks, creating a sense of flow and teamwork
- Maintaining our shared spaces so they’re organized and welcoming for staff and visitors
- Jumping into ad hoc projects—sometimes it’s supporting an event, sometimes it’s putting together a report, and sometimes it’s just being problem-solver-in-chief

Must-Haves:
- Confident spoken and written English communication skills
- Basic computer know-how—think Word, Excel, email, scanning, and printing

Nice-to-Haves:
- Previous experience in an office or admin role
- Familiarity with office equipment or simple financial software
- A spirit of adaptability (when things shift, you shift with them)
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
