About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it’s like to launch your career as a Project Manager in the heart of Dubai’s bustling Business Bay? Here’s your chance to jump in—even if you’re just starting out. We’re looking for a driven individual who’s already in the UAE and eager to learn the ropes of project management. Whether you’re fresh out of university or ready for a new challenge, this is a genuine foot-in-the-door opportunity with real stability and room to grow.
About the Company
Nestled in the vibrant pulse of Business Bay, our team thrives on collaboration and shared ambition. We’re not one of those giant corporations where you’re just a number—here, every person’s voice matters (and yes, your coffee order preferences will be duly noted at our weekly team brainstorms). We believe in giving people the tools and trust they need to thrive, regardless of where they started. If you like an environment where you can ask questions and actually get answers, you’ll feel at home here.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Supporting senior project managers with day-to-day project coordination across multiple workflows.
- Scheduling meetings, preparing project updates, and making sure key deadlines aren’t lost in the shuffle.

What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves
- Must currently be residing in the UAE (applications from outside the UAE can’t be considered).
- An eagerness to learn, adapt, and tackle new challenges—no project management experience required!
- Great organizational skills and strong attention to detail (your friends probably call you “the planner”).
- Clear communication skills in English; Arabic is a plus but not essential.
- A positive attitude and willingness to ask questions rather than guess.
Nice-to-Haves
- Familiarity with basic office software (think Excel, Word, or Google Workspace).
- Any prior experience with group projects, university societies, or part-time work—life experience counts, too.
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
