Job description
Based at FAB's Al Ain Building, this Emiratised AVP role manages the bank's corporate sponsorships, partnerships and events. Working with the VP, you help build a sponsorship and partnership portfolio that delivers against core business objectives. Every sponsorship comes with rights and benefits that need to be fully used across marketing channels. Incoming sponsorship requests are evaluated and analysed before any commitment is made. Budgets and business plans for events sit with you, along with planning and execution documents prepared on time. Branding on stands and other deliverables must follow brand guidelines, so close coordination with the branding team on communication and media matters is part of the routine. Contract management and project planning skills matter here, as do strong internal relationships that surface new marketing opportunities. Expect to bring at least 5 years of relevant experience and a bachelor's degree in Marketing and Communication or a related discipline.
