This role reports to the Chief Engagement Officer and is based at Metabolic.Health's head office in Dubai, UAE.

Role Purpose

The Assistant & Business Coordinator is the operational backbone behind the Chief Engagement Officer and the marketing, communications, partnerships, and business development functions she leads. The role is a hybrid of direct support and business coordination. It manages the CXO's diary, travel, and correspondence, and it picks up the execution work that keeps the wider function moving day to day, from building a prospect database to preparing a research brief before a partner meeting to chasing an overdue deliverable. It owns the research that feeds partnership and business development conversations, alongside marketing admin, meeting management, supplier records, and project tracking. It knows who to loop in when something needs sorting out, and it follows up until it's closed. The role gives the Chief Engagement Officer a reliable set of hands across everything she runs, so several workstreams can move at once without things slipping through the cracks.

Role Scope & Boundaries

The Assistant & Business Coordinator owns the day to day execution, research, coordination, meeting management, and record keeping that support the Chief Engagement Officer and the functions she leads, working from direction she sets. The role does not set marketing, partnership, or business development strategy or priorities, that stays with the Chief Engagement Officer. It tracks and flags project timelines and deliverables, and does not own a project's outcome or decisions, that stays with the person leading the project. It supports business development through research, outreach preparation, tracking, and follow up, and does not lead partner negotiations or commit the business to terms. It does not negotiate supplier pricing or process purchase orders. Final decisions on supplier selection, partner selection, and department priorities stay with the Chief Engagement Officer. The role handles confidential business, partner, and personal information, and is expected to exercise discretion at all times.

• Previous experience in an assistant, business coordination, or similar support role, ideally supporting a senior leader across more than one function.

• Confident using AI tools day to day for research, drafting, summarizing, and organizing work.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office, especially Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, for tracking, reporting, and presenting.
• Comfortable working in Notion and maintaining databases and shared trackers across multiple projects.

• Excellent judgment on what to escalate, what to handle, and what can wait.
