Project / Account Manager (Social Media)

💼 Client: Confidential Agency – seconded role within a major government entity

🗓 Start Date: August 2025 (Immediate or 1-month notice preferred)

📝 Arabic-speaking candidates only

About the Role

I’m working exclusively with a boutique consultancy who act as strategic lead across a portfolio of high-profile government clients in Abu Dhabi. They are looking to second a highly organised, Arabic-speaking Project Manager into one of their key government accounts.

This is not your typical PM role – it’s ideal for someone with a solid social media background, who thrives in fast-paced, high-output environments. You’ll be embedded within the client’s office and act as the operational bridge between internal departments, creative teams, influencers, and senior Emirati stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities:

• Day-to-day management of social and content campaigns
• Liaising between client stakeholders and creative/production teams
• Managing timelines, deliverables, and cross-functional coordination
• Overseeing social content calendars and influencer rollouts (500+ posts over 6 months)
• Supporting event activations and on-ground production where needed
• Acting as the operational heartbeat of the team – driving clarity, structure, and communication

Who We’re Looking For:

• Fluent Arabic speaker – this is essential due to the nature of the client
• Strong background in social media, content delivery, or influencer-led campaigns
• Experience working agency-side preferred but open to client-side if operationally strong
• Comfortable working in an Abu Dhabi government office
• Able to commute to Abu Dhabi daily (some hybrid flexibility possible – 1-2 days per week WFH)
• Exceptional organisational skills – you’ll be the glue holding everything together
• Confident managing internal and external relationships and presenting ideas

Team & Structure:

You’ll be part of a larger consultancy team that includes strategy, events, content, and influencer managers. While seconded into the client, you’ll have full support from the agency’s leadership and resources.
