Marketing Manager, Brand

About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Marketing Manager to join our Middle East Marketing team at the company. Based in the UAE, this role covers marketing projects and campaign management across the Middle East, focusing on the UAE and Kuwait. In this role, you will play a crucial part in bringing our local marketing initiatives and campaigns to life, from the initial brief through to delivery, ensuring consistency and compelling representation across every channel and market.

Reporting to the Marketing team lead, you will be responsible for coordinating and executing integrated marketing campaigns and projects that connect emotionally with our customers and strengthen the company’s position as a loved and trusted brand. This high-impact role requires a marketer who is comfortable wearing multiple hats, able to own projects end-to-end, set the pace, align contributors, and ensure delivery across a full breadth of marketing initiatives. It requires a balance of creative sensibility, strong project management skills, and a data-driven mindset.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Planning & Execution: Own the end-to-end delivery of marketing projects and campaigns, acting as the project lead who sets timelines, aligns contributors, and drives accountability across teams to ensure initiatives and campaigns land on time, on budget, and to the highest creative standard.
• Integrated Campaign Coordination: Work cross-functionally with media, CRM, social, PR/comms, and central vertical and marketing teams to plan and execute local brand campaigns across the UAE and Middle East, ensuring consistent and effective activation across all channels (ATL, OOH, digital, social, in-app).
• Briefing & Stakeholder Management: Write clear, insight-led creative briefs and manage the feedback and approval process with internal creative teams and external agencies, championing the work while staying aligned to marketing goals and brand guidelines.
• Performance Tracking & Reporting: Track campaign KPIs, compile post-campaign reports, and translate learnings into clear recommendations to improve future brand activity.
• Budget & Timeline Management: Own and track campaign budgets and delivery timelines, flagging risks proactively and ensuring efficient use of marketing spend.
• Market & Competitor Intelligence: Stay informed on market trends, competitor campaigns, and cultural moments, using insights to inform creative strategy and identify brand-building opportunities.
• Stakeholder Management: Act as the connective tissue across workstreams, building strong relationships with local and central teams, agencies, and partners, ensuring all contributors are clear on priorities, timelines, and expectations to drive campaigns forward.

What You’ll Need to Thrive

• Minimum 6-8 years of experience in brand marketing, campaign and project management, or a related marketing discipline, ideally in tech.
• Proven experience managing integrated brand campaigns end-to-end, ideally across multiple channels and markets.
• A strong eye for creative quality combined with the ability to give clear, constructive feedback to agencies and internal teams.
• Excellent project management skills: you’re highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously without dropping the ball.
• Analytically minded: comfortable pulling and interpreting campaign performance data to develop actionable insights.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams and senior stakeholders.
• A self-starter attitude: you take ownership, move quickly, and find ways to make things happen in a fast-paced, matrixed environment.
• A natural project owner: comfortable driving a brand campaign, partner activation, tentpole seasonal moment, or cross-functional commercial initiative, bringing the same clarity, rigour, and drive to every brief.
• Familiarity with the UAE and Kuwait markets, including understanding local consumer behaviour, cultural moments (e.g., Ramadan, Eid, National Days), and the competitive landscape in both markets.
