  • Lead social listening, issues management and escalation protocols in partnership with Corporate Communications
  • Drive innovation through new formats, platform-first ideas and test-and-learn initiatives
  • Manage agencies, creators, influencers, paid amplification and the social budget
  • Lead and develop an in-house team spanning content, community and analytics
What you’ll bring
  • Full professional fluency in Arabic and English, including the ability to write, edit and approve Arabic social content directly
