Are you passionate about creating unforgettable experiences? We’re looking for an Event Manager / Project Manager to join a leading experiential and events company based in Dubai. This is an exciting opportunity for a creative, detail-oriented professional who thrives on turning ideas into impactful, memorable moments.

About the Role:
You’ll take the lead on some of the region’s most dynamic live events — from brand activations and corporate experiences to large-scale public events. You’ll manage the full lifecycle: from ideation and planning through execution and post-event review, working closely with creative, production, and client teams to bring exceptional concepts to life.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Plan, manage, and deliver experiential events from concept to completion.

  • Collaborate with clients to develop event strategies that align with their vision and goals.

  • Manage budgets, timelines, suppliers, and logistics with precision and creativity.

  • Oversee production schedules, ensuring every detail — from venue setup to show flow — runs smoothly.

  • Lead cross-functional teams, fostering collaboration between creative, production, and account management.

  • Maintain strong relationships with vendors, partners, and clients to ensure top-quality delivery.

  • Stay ahead of event trends, technologies, and innovative ideas to elevate every experience.

What We’re Looking For:

  • 5–8 years of proven experience in event or project management within an events or experiential agency.

  • A strong portfolio of successfully delivered corporate, lifestyle, or brand activation events in the UAE.

  • Exceptional organizational, leadership, and communication skills.

  • A problem-solver who stays calm under pressure and can adapt quickly in fast-paced environments.

  • Skilled in budget management and vendor coordination.

  • Passionate about creativity, innovation, and flawless event execution.

What’s in It for You:

  • Competitive salary: AED 25,000 – 30,000 per month.

  • Be part of a forward-thinking, creative team shaping the future of experiential marketing in the UAE.

  • Work on exciting projects with regional and international brands.

  • Opportunities for career growth and professional development.
