Creative Director for a new MENA creative studio supporting a client marketing team.

The studio produces locally relevant, performance-led creative for Gemini, Google AI Mode, and other client products.

Primary markets are Saudi Arabia and Egypt; secondary markets are Morocco and Iraq.

Work includes original lower-funnel content and adaptation of global and regional campaigns; the lead agency retains brand strategy and big-idea concepts.

The role is listed for Dubai, UAE or remote in the MENA time zone.

  • 12-month rolling contract.

About Algomarketing and the client

Algomarketing delivers programs and resourcing for strategic marketing roles, with a global team and enterprise B2B marketing experience.

Responsibilities

  • Own creative responses to briefs, lead lower-funnel campaign concepts, and review work for craft, brand, and performance.
  • Ensure work is culturally authentic and locally relevant; guide market copywriters and distinguish local origination from adaptation.

  • Partner with the Project Manager on resourcing, timelines, and priorities.
  • Present work and rationale to client stakeholders and use performance learnings to refine creative strategy.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of creative experience, including at least 3 years in an Associate Creative Director or Creative Director role.
  • Strong performance and digital creative portfolio across video, social, and display.
  • Deep understanding of MENA markets and culture; Arabic language skills are highly desirable.
  • Experience leading original creative and adaptation or transcreation work at scale.
  • Hands-on experience with generative AI tools in creative production.
  • Experience with technology or consumer-product brands and lead brand agencies.
  • Fluent English.

Preferred qualifications

  • Inspiring leader who can build a strong creative culture in a new team.
  • Confident presenter able to defend and evolve work with senior stakeholders.
  • Balances creative ambition with high-volume, fast-paced delivery and is open to new tools and ways of working.
