work you’ll ever do.
We’re 26 people in Business Bay, plus a small remote bench of native-language writers in Europe and India, working for clients in 14 countries. We hire people who like having their work checked against a number, and who’d rather say “I don’t know yet” than guess.
How we work
Written plans, and a second pair of eyes on everything
Most agency jobs reward the person who sends the most slides. Ours rewards the person whose client renews. That changes how you spend a Tuesday.
You’ll own real accounts from your first month, with a senior strategist reviewing your work before it ships. Nobody here is judged on hours, and nobody works alone on a client.
Hybrid, three days in
Tuesday to Thursday in Bay Square, Monday and Friday from wherever you like. Some roles are remote-friendly if you’re within about 4 hours of Dubai time.
Two-week sprints, written down
Plans live in a shared tracker, not in someone’s head or a WhatsApp group.
A review before anything ships
Every page, campaign and report gets a second pair of eyes before a client sees it.
Both languages count
Bilingual roles are paid for both languages. Arabic isn’t a favour you do on the side.
No timesheets
We measure output against the roadmap. How you split your day is up to you.
Say what you don’t know
“I’ll check and come back to you” is a fine answer on a client call. Guessing isn’t.
Benefits
What comes with the job
Same package for every full-time role, from first job to head of department. Dubai salaries are tax-free, and remote hires get the same leave, kit and learning budget.
A flight home every year
A return ticket to wherever home is, booked when you want it.
Health insurance for the family
Enhanced cover for you, your spouse and your children.
30 days’ leave
On top of UAE public holidays. Your birthday is off too.
AED 6,000 to learn
Every year, for courses, conferences and books you choose.
Shorter days in Ramadan
Six-hour days through the month, for everyone, fasting or not.
Visa handled
Employment visa, Emirates ID and medical, arranged and paid by us.
Your own kit
A MacBook, a second screen and the tools you ask for.
An annual bonus
Paid on agency results and your own reviews, every January.
“I was hired to write Arabic, not to fix bad translations. In Dubai that’s rarer than it should be.”
Two years in, I lead four writers and sign off every Arabic page we publish. Nobody asks me to ‘just run it through a tool’.
