You’ll be the senior creative voice for BD in the Middle East, based in Dubai.

Your work centers on a year-round program for our largest client: a slate of flagship campaigns each year, running alongside an always-on academy that develops the next generation of travel creators. You'll build a real creative partnership with the client, so you're already thinking about the next campaign before the brief lands.

For each campaign, you'll find the idea, write the outline scripts and treatments, cast the creators and guide the work from first frame to final cut. For new opportunities across the region, you'll turn a sales conversation into a treatment people want to buy, fast.

In the academy, you'll coach and motivate each cohort of creators and the known creators who mentor them. The curriculum is written. Your job is to sharpen it, maybe with an hour of editing or on AI where it needs one, and keep young creators pushing hard, resilient and looking forward.

We make ideas real through the work, and we share thinking early and often with clients. You'll sit alongside our Head of Creative and our Social Creative Lead as one of the people accountable for the craft of the whole business, from cinematic hero films to social, vertical and stills.

• Come up with original campaign ideas and write treatments for some of the Middle East's most ambitious tourism, hospitality and government brands.
• Present and sell creative directly to senior clients, including CMOs, with clarity and conviction.
• Turn early proposals into sharp, visual treatments and decks quickly, using tools like Claude Design to get strong ideas in front of clients sooner.
• Select and direct cinematic creators, self-shooting directors and social creators on flagship work, making the calls that protect the idea on the ground.
• Build and grow our creator network across the region.
• Coach academy creators and their mentors, and keep improving the curriculum from a filmmaking and craft point of view.
• Hold the quality bar across campaign films, social, vertical, stills and whatever format comes next, with feedback that turns good work into great work.
• Set creative principles for key clients so creators can move fast without losing the brand or the idea.
• Use AI image and video tools every day to explore more directions, visualize ideas earlier and lift the final product, while keeping the storytelling authentic.
• Bring new techniques, tools and references to the wider BD creative team, and help evolve how we make work.
