  • A confident communicator with excellent client handling and presentation skills.
  • Deep understanding of the media landscape in the UAE and broader Middle East.
  • Ability to inspire teams, think creatively, and solve problems under pressure.
  • Experience working with global brands and cross-market teams is a strong advantage.
