We are a Dubai-based group of creative and lifestyle brands led by a founder working across luxury product development, wellness, content creation, and experiential brand building.

The businesses include:

• The Candle Company - a luxury candle and home fragrance manufacturer specialising in bespoke products, private label manufacturing, corporate gifting, and brand collaborations.
• Inner Alchemist - an emerging luxury wellness and lifestyle brand focused on intentional living, self-care rituals, home décor, and elevated everyday experiences.
• Content Creation & Personal Brand - lifestyle, travel, beauty, wellness, and behind-the-scenes creative content shared across social media platforms.

This is a small, fast-moving, highly creative environment where no two days are the same. The role is ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic setting, enjoys variety, takes initiative naturally, and genuinely loves helping bring ideas to life.

The successful candidate will work closely with the founder across multiple brands, assisting with both operational and administrative responsibilities while helping maintain a highly organised and efficient working environment.

The role is primarily based within the founder’s home environment, which also operates as part of the businesses’ creative and operational workspace. As such, we are looking for someone who is respectful, organised, adaptable, and comfortable working within a close‑knit and trusted environment.

Alongside business support, the role also includes personal assistant responsibilities such as helping coordinate schedules, household organisation & support, errands, and occasional support with the founder’s dogs, who are an important part of daily life and the wider working environment.
