Job description

A Dubai restaurant sits at the heart of a wider commercial operation that also includes a retail shop, a business centre and an active events and activations programme. Growing footfall, reservations, covers and revenue at the Restaurant is your main focus, with close attention to repeat visits, group dining and the quieter days and dayparts. Beyond that, the Retail Shop needs building into a real revenue stream through corporate gifting, external stockists and customised products briefed to the internal design team. Business Centre bookings are another target, drawing in entrepreneurs, companies and organisations that need workspaces and meeting facilities. Events range from corporate launches and receptions to private dining, while weekend workshops for children, families and adults need pricing, packaging and promotion that bring extra restaurant and retail spend. Day to day, you lead the social media team, a dedicated designer, photographers, videographers and PR suppliers, setting their briefs, calendars and deadlines. Performance is measured on revenue and conversion, so a healthy corporate and private sales pipeline matters from proposal through to close. Fluent Arabic and English are essential, along with proven marketing and sales management experience, ideally in hospitality, F&B, retail or a multi-brand commercial environment. The position is permanent and pays AED 18,000 per month.
