Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
Overview
- We're a profitable, fast-scaling online brand doing ~USD $5M/month in revenue, selling home & garden products to customers in the USA and Australia through video ads on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
- We're hiring someone to lead our video ad creative team — coming up with the ideas behind the ads, managing a team of 4–5 video editors and being responsible for the content that drives our sales.
- Think of it as the person who decides what our ads should say, look like, and feel like — and then makes sure the team produces it at a high level, every single week.
- You don't need any ecommerce experience.
- We'll teach you everything about the business.
- Here's why we're looking for someone outside ecommerce: most people with "ecommerce creative experience" have learned to produce mediocre content and call it good enough.
- We'd rather hire someone with a natural eye for what looks great, strong creative instincts and the discipline to lead a team.
- If you have the right mindset, we will teach you the rest.
- If you're a flight attendant at Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad, or any major airline — and you've been feeling like you're ready for a change — this could be exactly what you're looking for.
- Maybe you're tired of living out of a suitcase.
- Maybe the constant travel that once felt exciting now just feels exhausting.
- Maybe you want to finally settle down in Dubai, have a normal schedule and build a real career that uses your creative side — instead of spending your best years in the air.
- If that sounds like you, and you already have some experience editing videos on your own (even just for fun — CapCut, Adobe Premiere, or anything similar), then you already have more of a foundation than you think.
- This is a stable, Dubai-based office role with a fixed monthly salary of AED 15,000–20,000 depending on your experience.
- No more relying on flying hours or per diems.
- After a 6-month probation period, high performers earn additional bonus commissions tied directly to the results your creative work produces.
- Why are we looking for flight attendants?
- Because the best ones already have what we can't teach:
- High visual and aesthetic standards — you know what looks polished and what doesn't
- Discipline and attention to detail from working in one of the most demanding service environments in the world
- The ability to work under pressure, adapt quickly and stay composed
- Many of you are already creating content on Instagram or TikTok — you understand what gets attention on social media
What You'Ll Do
- 1.
- Lead a team of 4–5 video editors — assign their work, review what they produce, give feedback, set the quality standard and help them improve
- 2.
- Come up with ideas for video ads every week — what the ad should say, what angle to take, what will grab someone's attention in the first 2 seconds and make them want to buy
- 3.
- Write clear instructions (briefs) for your editors so they know exactly what to create without needing to go back and forth
- 4.
- Work with our advertising team to look at the data and figure out which ads are working, which should be improved and which styles should be dropped
- 5.
- Jump in and edit videos yourself when needed — for new ideas, urgent tests, or when something needs a personal touch
- 6.
- Keep track of how our ads are performing each week and report on what's working and what's not
- 7.
- Stay up to date on what's trending on social media — what types of videos are getting attention right now, what competitors are doing, what styles and formats are working
- 8.
- Build simple processes and workflows so the team runs smoothly as we grow
- What we're looking for:
- 1.
- Some hands-on experience with video editing — You've used tools like CapCut, Adobe Premiere, After Effects, or similar.
- This doesn't need to be professional experience — if you've been editing your own content, reels, or videos for fun, that counts.
- But you need to understand how video editing works.
- 2.
- A strong eye for what looks good — You naturally notice when something is visually off.
- You care about details, aesthetics and quality.
- You have opinions about what makes content look professional vs. amateur.
- 3.
- A feel for what gets attention on social media — You understand what makes someone stop scrolling.
- Whether you've learned this from your own content or just from being a heavy consumer of social media, you know what works and what doesn't.
- 4.
- Leadership ability — You're comfortable telling people what to do, giving honest feedback, and holding a team to a high standard.
- You don't avoid difficult conversations.
- 5.
- Organised and self-driven — You don't wait to be told what to do next.
- You plan your week, manage your own time and keep things moving without someone checking on you constantly.
- 6.
- Strong written and spoken English — We sell to customers in the USA and Australia.
- Your briefs, feedback and communication need to be clear and sharp in English.
- 7.
- Genuine interest in creativity and content — This should excite you, not just be "another job." We want someone who actually enjoys thinking about what makes great content.
- 8.
- Commitment — We're not interested in someone who's looking for a temporary stop before the next thing.
- We want someone who's ready to leave the flying lifestyle behind, settle in Dubai and build a serious career with us.
- This role is NOT for someone who:
- Wants a creative role but doesn't care whether the content actually drives sales
- Prefers to manage from a distance and never get their hands dirty
- Needs to be told exactly what to do every step of the way
- How we work:
- Speed over perfection — we test fast, learn fast, improve fast
- Clear ownership — you own your area, no unnecessary meetings or bureaucracy
- Results-first culture — what matters is what works, not what looks nice on paper
- Salary/Pay that grows with performance
Logistics
This is a Dubai-based position.
You will be working with us from our office in Downtown Dubai.
We will sponsor your Visa.
Compensation
Fixed monthly salary: AED 15,000–20,000 depending on experience and background.
Performance-linked bonus kicks in after a 6-month probation period, tied directly to the results your creative work produces.
Long-term growth opportunity as the brand and team scale.
To apply, please submit:
1. Your CV
2. 1–3 examples of videos you've edited or created (these can be personal projects, social media content, or anything that shows your creative ability — they don't need to be professional ads)
3.
A short note (3–5 sentences): Why you're ready to leave flying and build a career in creative content and what makes you believe you'd be great at this
