About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Community Manager who has operated at the intersection of owners association management and branded residential living in Dubai. This role is not entry-level; we require someone who has experience sitting across the table from unit owners, navigating service charge disputes, maintaining brand partner relationships, and building genuine communities within premium developments. You understand that owners in a branded residence are both investors and residents, and you know how to serve both sides of that relationship. Your day-to-day combines operational precision, people skills, and a working knowledge of how Dubai's OA regulatory framework shapes what you can and cannot do.
