Overview

  • The Creative & Social Lead owns the creative output and social presence across the UAE, KSA, and Jordan.
  • This is a hands-on execution role: the person designs, manages the social content team, runs influencer activity through our
  • agencies, and acts as the day-to-day point of contact for the creative agency.
  • The seat is built for someone who can both
  • produce work themselves and coordinate others to produce it at speed and on brand.
  • This is not a brand strategy or marketing leadership role.
  • Creative direction and campaign strategy are set by the CMO; this
  • role executes against that direction and holds quality, consistency, and turnaround.
  • Works alongside: CRM & App Lead (performance marketing), Aggregators & Trade leads (UAE/Jordan and KSA),
  • and Local Store Marketing.
  • Manages: social media content generation team; creative agency relationship at the execution level; influencer
  • agencies.

Design & Artwork (Hands-On)

  • Produce key visuals, social assets, and adaptations across formats using Photoshop, Figma, and equivalent tools.
  • Localise and resize creative for each platform (Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, GDN) and each market.
  • Maintain brand consistency on every asset that ships.

2. Social Content Team Management

  • Manage the social media content generation team day to day: briefing, scheduling, review, and publishing cadence.
  • Hold a consistent, high-frequency content calendar across markets, with primary focus on KSA and UAE.
  • Quality-control everything the team produces before it goes live.

3. Creative Agency Management (execution level)

  • Own the day-to-day agency relationship: briefing, trafficking, feedback loops, timelines, and delivery.
  • Ensure agency output meets brief, brand, and deadline. Escalate creative-direction calls to the CMO rather than
  • owning them.
  • Track agency workload and flag capacity or quality risks early.

4. Influencer Marketing

  • Run influencer activity across UAE and KSA, primarily executed through agencies.
  • Manage briefs, content approvals, deliverable tracking, and post-campaign reporting.
  • Maintain a working roster of relevant creators per marketKey Relationships

Key Qualifications

  • 3 to 5 years in a creative, social, or content role, ideally in QSR, FMCG, retail, or agency.
  • Strong hands-on design ability: Photoshop and Figma are essential; motion or video editing is a plus.
  • Proven experience managing a content team and/or a creative agency relationship.
  • Social platform fluency across Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube, with an eye for what performs.
