Job description
Sharjah is the base for this PR and events position, with campaigns and events reaching audiences across the UAE. PR strategies and event plans are built specifically for the Sharjah and wider UAE markets. Corporate events, conferences, trade shows and VIP gatherings are taken from concept through to completion under your direction. Media relations sit with you as well, from drafting press releases and preparing talking points to coordinating interviews. Timelines, budgets, logistics and vendor contracts all need careful management to keep events on time and on budget. Marketing and corporate communications teams work alongside you to keep messaging consistent across channels. After each event or campaign, results are evaluated and reported with recommendations for next time. Local regulations and cultural norms shape how everything is delivered. Two to four years in event management, PR or corporate communications, ideally in the UAE or GCC, is required, with Arabic and an established media network a plus.
