Marketing Manager UAE

UAE is Capital.com’s largest and most complex MENA market, and you’ll be its single, accountable owner. You’ll run UAE marketing performance like your own business, managing the day-to-day plan, local channels and partners, while also supporting performance activity across the wider region. Strategy, brand and regional budget sit with the Head of Marketing, MENA, and your job is to execute against them with judgment, speed and full ownership of results.

Responsibilities

• Own UAE’s marketing performance day to day, treating local commercial outcomes as a
  direct personal accountability, not a shared regional metric.
• Execute the UAE portion of the regional marketing plan agreed with the Head of Marketing,
  MENA, adapting tactics to local market conditions within agreed budget and brand
  parameters.
• Manage local brand, OOH, TV, radio, podcast, affiliate, and influencer relationships in UAE,
  in coordination with central Centres of Excellence, who retain authority over execution
  quality and standards.
• Track UAE-specific brand health and digital reputation signals, surfacing issues early
  rather than after they show up in the numbers.
• Recommend budget reallocation and channel trade-offs for UAE to the Head of Marketing,
  MENA, with clear rationale, rather than requesting sign-off without a point of view.
• Escalate regulatory, cultural, or reputational risks specific to Dubai to the Head of
  Marketing, MENA and relevant CoE leads, early and factually.
• Build and manage the day-to-day relationships with UAE-based agencies, media owners,
  and partners that make fast, well-judged local decisions possible.
• Coordinate agency or junior marketing resource dedicated to UAE where the market
  requires it.
• Support Head of Marketing MENA with other markets as and when required with a
  particular focus on supporting performance marketing across the region.

Problem-Solving
