Overview
Moguls Middle East (mogulsme.com) is a fast-growing B2B business media platform covering the people, ideas, and deals shaping the Middle East economy.
We sit at the intersection of news and influence — delivering journalism-driven content alongside thought leadership, profiles, and PR-informed features for the region's most ambitious business audience.
We're building the editorial engine that powers daily content across our platform, and we're looking for a writer who doesn't just produce — they chase stories, break narratives, and bring journalistic instinct to every brief.
The role
You will be the primary content engine for Moguls ME — responsible for producing 8 to 10 articles daily across editorial, PR, and news verticals.
This is a high-output, deadline-driven role that requires both the discipline of a newsroom journalist and the versatility of a digital content professional.
You will own the daily content calendar, pitch story ideas, and transform press releases, client briefs, and live news into publish-ready copy — fast and accurately.
Journalism-driven (2–3 daily)
Original reporting, news analysis, executive interviews, and investigative features with a Middle East business lens
Client & PR content (5–7 daily)
Press release rewrites, sponsored thought leadership, product announcements, and sector-specific client features
What You'Ll Do Every Day
- Produce 8 to 10 well-researched, publish-ready articles per day across editorial and client briefs.
- Write 2 to 3 original journalism pieces — analysis, commentary, news stories, or business profiles — driven by your editorial instinct
- Transform PR submissions, client briefs, and press releases into compelling, readable content that meets editorial standards
- Monitor regional and global business news to identify story opportunities relevant to the Middle East market
- Maintain consistent voice, accuracy, and SEO hygiene across all published pieces
- Collaborate with the editorial and commercial teams to ensure content aligns with the Moguls ME brand voice.
- Meet daily publishing targets without compromising on quality or factual accuracy.
- What we're looking for
- A journalism degree or equivalent — or a career track that proves you didn't need one
- 1 to 5 years of experience in news, media, or editorial writing — print, digital, or broadcast background all considered
- Demonstrated ability to write fast, write clean, and write accurately under deadline pressure
- A genuine understanding of the Middle East business landscape — UAE media familiarity is a strong advantage
- Experience adapting PR and client content into editorial-grade copy without losing substance
- Strong command of English; Arabic language skills are a plus but not required
- Comfortable working across beats — business, technology, real estate, finance, and leadership
- SEO awareness and familiarity with CMS platforms such as WordPress.
