Community Manager

Role and club

Core responsibilities

• Run a consistent weekly coffee meetup and organize the monthly member gathering, including venue, seating, speaker, and follow-up.
• Vet waiting-list applications and respond to every applicant within 24 hours.
• Build a calendar of workshops, sourcing trips, and partner events, and bring forward new ideas.
• Know members’ businesses and challenges and connect them with useful contacts.
• Secure sponsors among payment providers, 3PLs, freight forwarders, and SaaS companies.

Candidate requirements

• Have run real events or communities, such as clubs, conferences, supper clubs, coworking spaces, or sports clubs.
• Already live in Dubai and know local venues and contacts.
• Understand ecommerce operators and know what a 3PL is; having run a store is not required.
• Be comfortable maintaining membership standards and declining unsuitable applicants.
• Be organized and self-directed; there is no existing playbook.

Workplace and schedule

• The role is based in Dubai and is in person; it cannot be performed remotely.
• Evenings and some weekends are required because that is when the club meets.

Work authorization

• Applicants must already have the right to work in the UAE.
• Candidates who do not require sponsorship are strongly preferred.

Salary

• The listed salary range is AED 5,000–7,000; no pay cadence is specified.

Application

• Include your earliest possible start date and notice period.
• Describe an event or community you ran that did not go to plan and how you handled it.
