As part of the continued growth across the Middle East, we have an exciting new opportunity for a PR & Partnerships Manager to join our team, based in Dubai.

This regional role will support markets across the GCC and wider Middle East, working cross-functionally to develop and deliver breakthrough PR and high-impact partnerships with close collaboration across local markets.

As the brand continues to grow in the region, this will be a pivotal role in driving awareness, engagement, and commercial outcomes.

This role will be responsible for creating and delivering successful campaigns to support key launches, brand moments, and partnerships, ensuring integration across PR, digital, social, and partnerships to maximise efficiency and ROI.
