2+ years of experience in Online Reputation Management, Social Media, Digital Communications, or a similar role; strong analytical and reporting skills with experience using social listening and monitoring tools; excellent written and verbal communication skills in Arabic and English; currently based in Abu Dhabi; entry-level seniority; full-time position.

The digital landscape in the Middle East is evolving at breakneck speed, and at the heart of this transformation lies a critical discipline: online reputation management (ORM). When a company like SOCIALEYEZ posts a vacancy for a Social Media Community Manager in Abu Dhabi, it isn't just another job listing—it's a signal of how seriously brands now guard their digital presence.

This role offers a rare entry point into a field that combines psychology, data analytics, and real‑time communication. If you are bilingual in Arabic and English and have a passion for troubleshooting digital narratives, this opportunity deserves your immediate attention.

Abu Dhabi is not merely the capital of the UAE; it is a global hub for government entities, multinational corporations, and ambitious startups. Every organization operating here understands that public perception can make or break a brand. In this context, an ORM specialist is akin to a digital guardian, watching over the brand's voice across social platforms, forums, and news outlets.

SOCIALEYEZ, a prominent social media agency in the region, is looking for someone who can step into this role and hit the ground running.

This position is specifically designed for an early-career professional with at least two years of experience, making it an ideal stepping stone for anyone who has dabbled in social media management or digital communications and now wants to specialise in a niche that is in high demand. The 'entry level' seniority tag on Linked In might be slightly misleading; the responsibilities listed are substantial and require a mature, resourceful individual.

But that also means you will gain invaluable exposure to crisis management, client coordination, and strategic communication from day one.

“Excellent written and verbal communication skills in Arabic and English are non-negotiable. You will be the voice of the brand in two languages, often simultaneously.”

A common misconception about social media community management is that it involves scheduling posts and replying to happy comments. The reality—especially in an ORM role—is far more challenging. Let's break down what you will actually be doing at SOCIALEYEZ:

• Monitoring to the extreme: You will track mentions across social platforms, forums, blogs, and news outlets. This is not a casual browse; you'll use specialised social listening tools to capture every whisper about the brand.
• Sentiment analysis: You will categorize conversations as positive, negative, or neutral, and produce daily, weekly, and monthly reports that guide client strategy. Your ability to interpret raw data into actionable insights will set you apart.
• Risk escalation: When a derogatory comment goes viral or a news story breaks, you are the first alarm bell. You'll assess the level of threat and recommend an appropriate response, often within minutes.
• Coordination with internal teams: You will not work in a silo. You'll collaborate with account managers, creative teams, and client representatives to ensure issues are resolved swiftly and consistently.
• Trend tracking: Beyond monitoring your own brand, you'll watch competitors and industry trends to provide the client with a competitive edge.
• Crisis support: In a major reputational crisis, your real‑time monitoring becomes the nerve centre of the communication response. You'll provide the data that shapes press releases and social media statements.

This is a role that demands multitasking, emotional intelligence, and an obsession with detail. But it is equally a role that offers you a front-row seat…
