About the role

We’re looking for a Marketing Manager to be our brand’s voice, vibe, and energy on the ground in the UAE.

You’ll be at the heart of Alaan’s UAE story - building our local community, creating content that travels, launching unforgettable offline activations, and collaborating with influencers, creators, and customers.

This is not a desk job, you’ll be out capturing stories, leading activations, and turning everyday interactions into brand moments that stick.

We’re looking for someone hands-on and proactive. Someone who understands execution, moves fast, and isn’t afraid to figure things out along the way.

What you'll do

• Shoot and produce content on-ground - customer stories, product demos, and on-the-fly reels. Whether it’s a café, co-working space, or customer office, you’ll go where the story is and bring it to life.
• Plan and execute BTL activations like food truck stunts, mascot appearances, conference booths, and coffee shop pop-ups. You’ll lead everything from planning to coordination.
• Own self-hosted events in the UAE - from sourcing venues to running the show on event day.
• Manage influencers and creators - find the right people, brief them, review content, and make sure campaigns are executed.
• Grow our community in a way that feels real - creating touchpoints and conversations that matter to finance professionals.
• Create and grow relationships with finance communities, accounting bodies, startup networks, and media - and make sure Alaan is part of the conversation.

What we are looking for

• 3+ years in marketing
• Proactive, creative, and seriously resourceful
• Comfortable being out and about, not just behind a screen
• A well-rounded marketing generalist - you’ve done a bit of everything

What's in it for you

• Contribute to building the Middle East’s most beloved fintech brand from the ground up
• Benefit from a role with significant ownership and accountability
• Thrive in a flexible hybrid culture with ample work-life balance
• Participate in exciting offsite events
• Competitive salary and equity
• Enjoy additional perks like travel allowances, gym memberships, and more
