Brand, Content & Partnerships Strategy (65%)
- Adapt Subko's core positioning for the UAE market, translating South Asian craft and origin stories for Dubai's design-forward, specialty coffee, and cultural audience without diluting the brand identity.
- Define and maintain Subko UAE's multi-platform content strategy across Instagram, TikTok, and emerging channels, with content pillars around Product, Craft & Provenance, Culture, and Behind-the-Scenes.
- Identify and shape high-impact brand partnerships, co-branding initiatives, and cultural collaborations in Dubai across design, lifestyle, art, and hospitality entities.

Content Storytelling, Tone of Voice & Execution (35%)
- Own all outward-facing written copy across campaigns, product launches, social channels, and in-store collateral in alignment with Subko's brand voice and writing guidelines.
- Turn every launch into a multi-phase narrative journey tying coffee origins, bakery items, and design drops back into Subko's broader universe.
- Lead visual and narrative direction for shoots, writing creative briefs for photographers and videographers and building aesthetic reference boards.
- Independently capture and edit quick-turnaround, high-craft digital content for time-sensitive moments using mobile creative tools such as CapCut, Lightroom, Canva, Premiere, or equivalent.
- Capture authentic and raw moments from Subko's lens and convert them into compelling online stories without managing physical offline events or community operations.
