Job Description

An award-winning experiential events agency in Dubai is looking for a Senior Account Manager to lead major client accounts and deliver standout live brand experiences across the region.
We’re looking for someone with strong regional experience in on-ground activations, brand pop-ups, hybrid events, and integrated campaigns - who can confidently lead strategy, execution, and team performance across multiple projects.

Arabic fluency is essential, as is a strong background in managing experiential campaigns in the UAE or wider GCC market.

 

Key Responsibilities:

 

  • Own and grow key client relationships, serving as lead brand advisor and day-to-day point of contact
  • Lead the development and execution of experiential marketing campaigns that integrate physical and digital elements
  • Manage timelines, budgets, resourcing, and vendor coordination to deliver high-impact activations
  • Collaborate with internal creative, production, and strategy teams to ensure cohesive, omni-channel delivery
  • Provide strategic insights on audience behaviour, channel performance, and campaign ROI
  • Supervise and mentor junior account managers and project staff
  • Drive upsell opportunities and contribute to organic growth within existing accounts

 

Requirements:

 

  • 8+ years of experience in client servicing or brand management at an experiential, creative, or integrated marketing agency
  • Proven ability to manage multi-channel campaigns (live + digital + social)
  • Demonstrated success in delivering high-quality activations, installations, and immersive experiences
  • Strong project and budget management skills, with an eye for detail and delivery
  • Excellent presentation and communication skills in both Arabic and English
  • Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, or related field (Master’s is a plus)
  • lots of travel to Saudi

 

This role is ideal for:

 

  • Candidates who thrive in high-energy, creative environments
  • Those with a passion for brand storytelling through live experience
  • Arabic-speaking professionals who understand the nuances of GCC markets
