About The CSP Group
We are a corporate services firm headquartered in Dubai, with presence across UAE, ADGM, DIFC, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman. We specialise in GCC market entry, business incorporation, corporate structuring, offering fully regulated, end-to-end solutions that include company formation, PRO and visa services, nominee arrangements, corporate sponsorship, payroll, and accounting advisory services. Our services are tailored to support international businesses at every stage — from initial market entry to ongoing compliance and operational support.
The Role
The Corporate Structuring Officer is responsible for managing and executing all aspects of company formation and structuring across the UAE’s jurisdictions, including mainland, free zones, and offshore centres. The role ensures that entities are incorporated efficiently, in compliance with relevant regulatory and licensing requirements, and aligned with clients’ strategic, operational, and ownership objectives.
This position involves end-to-end oversight of the incorporation process from initial structuring advice and jurisdiction selection to document preparation, submission, liaison with government authorities, and licence issuance. The officer serves as a key point of contact for clients and internal stakeholders, ensuring each setup is delivered accurately, on time, and in accordance with UAE corporate, regulatory, and compliance frameworks.

- Act as a key point of coordination to ensure information shared with clients is accurate, consistent, and aligned across all service lines.
- Champion the client experience, taking a proactive and solutions-focused approach, and thinking creatively where appropriate to resolve issues and support client objectives.
