  • Lead development and execution of integrated communications strategies for regional and global brand clients.
  • Translate client objectives into breakthrough campaigns that connect brand, culture, and purpose.
  • Manage cross-functional teams and collaborate across practice areas (e.g., digital, creative, strategy).
  • Oversee campaign performance, resourcing, budgets, and timelines to deliver excellence.
  • Contribute to new business development through proposals, pitches, and organic growth.
  • Provide mentorship and career development support for junior team members.

    • What We're Looking for?

  • 7+ years of experience in strategic communications, brand marketing, or public relations.
  • Strong experience in agency or consultancy environments, preferably with MENA market exposure.
  • Proven leadership in managing integrated campaigns across earned, owned, and paid media.
  • A confident communicator with excellent client handling and presentation skills.
  • Deep understanding of the media landscape in the UAE and broader Middle East.
  • Ability to inspire teams, think creatively, and solve problems under pressure.
  • Experience working with global brands and cross-market teams is a strong advantage.

    • Why Edelman?

  • At Edelman, we believe brands have the power to shift culture and drive real change. We are a global, award-winning communications firm that values curiosity, empathy, and creativity. Our Abu Dhabi office offers a collaborative, inclusive environment where diverse talent thrives and bold ideas flourish.
