About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wonder what it’s like to be the voice of a brand right where the world meets — at the heart of Deira, Dubai? If you love telling stories, thrive on trends, and can switch between Arabic and English without dropping a beat, you might be the Social Media Manager we’re looking for. Here, your creativity shapes how we connect, influence, and grow. This isn’t just about posting; it’s about building a community — and seeing your ideas come to life in a high-energy, multicultural market.
About the Company
We’re a fast-paced marketing agency rooted in Deira, where the pace of life never slows and neither do we. Our team is an eclectic mix — marketers, designers, strategists — all passionate about helping businesses stand out. Creativity isn’t just a buzzword here; it’s the air we breathe. You’ll find us brainstorming over karak, celebrating campaign wins (big and small), and always cheering each other on. If you’re someone who loves lively debates about the latest viral trend, you’ll fit right in.

- Curating, scheduling, and publishing engaging content tailored for both Arabic and English audiences
- Developing campaign ideas and seeing them through from brainstorm to reporting
- Collaborating with designers and writers to ensure our social platforms pop with personality and polish
- Tracking, analyzing, and reporting on social metrics — and tweaking strategy to drive growth
- Responding to our audience with genuine, timely interactions (because every comment is a chance to connect)
- Staying ahead of social trends, tools, and algorithm updates
- Bringing fresh ideas to promote our marketing services and boost our online presence
What You’ll Bring

- Full professional fluency in both Arabic and English (writing, editing, and posting)
- Proven experience managing social media platforms in a marketing or digital agency setting
- Strong editing chops — you spot grammar and tone from a mile away
- Passion for storytelling and audience engagement
- Familiarity with social analytics and reporting
- Creative thinking and a bias for action
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience with paid social campaigns
- Basic visual design skills (Canva, Adobe Suite, or similar)
- A knack for witty copy or video scriptwriting
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Collaborative, no-ego team culture (your ideas will always be heard)
- Prime location in vibrant Deira — right in the action
- Hybrid work flexibility
- Opportunities for professional growth and learning
- Regular team lunches, creative sessions, and the occasional after-hours coffee run
- A place where your creativity makes a visible impact — every day
Here, you’ll be more than a Social Media Manager — you’ll be the creative pulse that helps us connect with the world. If you’re ready to level up your marketing game in Dubai’s legendary melting pot, we can’t wait to meet you.
