You should be able to think about campaigns as full 360 ecosystems with many moving parts, while also having strong creative instincts and a clear point of view on what good looks like.

• Ensure campaign narratives, tone of voice, and key messages are carried consistently across all channels.
• Lead multiple campaigns and priorities simultaneously while maintaining strong attention to detail and timelines.
• Reverse engineer campaign execution by identifying dependencies, stakeholders, blockers, and required outputs from the start.

Storytelling & Creative Direction

• Craft compelling narratives and messaging that connect business priorities with customer needs.
• Ensure all campaigns are grounded in customer insight, market context, and local relevance.
• Partner with internal teams to simplify complex topics into engaging, easy-to-understand communication.
• Review and guide creative outputs to ensure they meet Tamara’s quality standards.
• Maintain a high bar for quality across copy, creative, messaging, and execution.

Stakeholder & Cross-Functional Management

• Build strong relationships across teams and act as the connective tissue between different functions.
• Drive alignment across stakeholders with clear communication, follow-ups, and strong project management.
• Manage agencies, freelancers, and vendors to ensure deliverables are on time and up to Tamara standards.

Your expertise:

Skills & Experience:

• 2+ years of experience in communications, campaigns, marketing, PR, or project management roles.

• Strong project management skills and ability to take ownership of deliverables to achieve desired outcomes.
• Experience managing campaigns, content, social media, or brand communication initiatives.
• Strong understanding of the UAE market, customer behavior, cultural nuances, and what resonates locally.

Skills:

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
