Operations Manager

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates | Posted on 08/01/2026

• Salary AED 10,000 + Commission (Paid Quarterly and Yearly)
• Country United Arab Emirates

Since 2019, Easy Wedding has helped thousands of couples make their dream of getting married simple, stress-free, and unforgettable. We’re a global, fast-growing company driven by empathy, innovation, and teamwork.
Our mission is to simplify the marriage process for couples around the world — whether through legal expertise, logistics, or heartfelt customer care. We believe in creating not only beautiful weddings but also a supportive, inspiring workplace where every team member can grow, share ideas, and make a real impact.
We’re a fully remote company with a diverse, international team that values collaboration, trust, and purpose-driven work. Join us and be part of something meaningful — where love meets logistics and every day feels like the start of a new story.

Every wedding we run is somebody's one shot at this day. A missed detail, a stressed-out couple, a supplier who doesn't show — those aren't just operational hiccups to us, they're someone's memory forever. That's what this role is really about: making sure the people who trust us with their wedding get to actually enjoy it.

Easy Wedding delivers weddings and events across Seychelles, Georgia, and the UAE (Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, Abu Dhabi). We've grown to around 100 weddings a year, and we're looking for an Operations Manager who wants to help us do that at a bigger scale, without losing the personal care that got us here — someone who cares about the team they lead and the couples they serve just as much as the processes they build.

You'll be the person the team leans on and the couples remember. Not because you did everything yourself, but because you built a team and a way of working that consistently delivers something people won't forget.

What you'll do:

• Lead, train, and genuinely develop the events operations team — people who feel supported, not managed
• Step in for clients when it matters most, especially when things get tense, last-minute, or high-stakes
• Own events end-to-end, from the first brief to the final goodbye, making sure nothing that mattered to the couple got missed
• Build real relationships with suppliers and UAE officials — the kind that make things happen when it counts
• Keep asking "how do we do this better?" and actually change things when the answer isn't good enough
• Hire and onboard the people who'll carry this mission forward as we grow
• Manage budgets and KPIs, but never lose sight of what they're there to protect: the experience

You must have:

• 3–7 years of experience managing a team of 2–10 people in the UAE, with a track record of being recognized as a strong people manager (e.g., "manager of the month," praise from former team members)
• 2–5 years running full event cycles in the Gulf — from the sales call through to feedback collection — with direct client contact on small/medium events
• Experience facing international clients, from budget-conscious to VIP (5-star hotel, luxury hospitality, or high-end events background strongly preferred)
• A valid UAE driving license and the ability to commute regularly (essential — travel to sites/events is a regular part of the role)
• Fluent English (Arabic is a plus)

Nice to have:

• Experience selling (not just executing) — you understand the sales side of the business
• A track record of implementing ideas that generated measurable revenue or efficiency gains
• Experience in more than one industry (adaptability)
• Existing relationships with top event planners or suppliers in the region

Who thrives here: Extroverted, organized, empathetic but assertive, calm under pressure, and proactive — someone who takes ownership…
