Okay, let’s address the elephant in the room straight away.
If you haven’t worked extensively in-country, this role isn’t for you.
Nothing personal. Just the people who know the region really well, know that working with Emiratis is a whole different way of thinking.
It’s why this job has piqued your interest.
Well, that and the whopping great salary number, but I digress. Living and working in the UAE is a lifestyle choice, it’s also life changing and this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
The place has such a different vibe. Nothing like the media would have us believe and the pace of it, wow !!
But then the speed of play over there is like a drug to you. It’s constant but the projects and brands you get to work on are insane and the budgets are even better.
You thrive on the pace, but you’ve also learnt to enjoy the moment.
You also love the whole three ‘Ps’ mantra.
People, projects, process.
You know how to interact with people, you’ve led teams most of your career and the key thing you’ve learnt is people won’t respect or follow you if you treat them like an a-hole.
It’s why you’re perfect for this, people love you and you’re a great people person. You also love to download your experience and personality onto an eager team, desperate to have a leader that empowers and develops them.
You also love the the buzz from seeing 100,000’s people walking through your projects and having the client see the vision come to life. There is nothing like a perfectly executed live event to make people smile.
Process is second nature to you. As a senior leader you know that without robust operational ways of working in place, it’s all just pretty lights and stuff waiting to fall down or even worse, not be delivered in the first place.
This £130 million TO, 40 head agency are unreal, they deliver work that is quite literally out of this world and the team is 90% ex-pats from around the world, so fitting in and being welcomed is a given.
You will get a relocation allowance, you will have accommodation sorted for you whilst you settle, and you will have an annual flight allowance to pop home whenever you want and tell people how great your life is over there. #sorrynotsorry
If you’ve been looking for that dream situation, the one that will change your life and elevate your career into the stratosphere, the one where you also sit on the senior leadership team of a truly global agency, click apply and let’s have a confidential chat.
Who knows where it will take you.
Don’t worry if your CV isn’t up to date, we can deal with that later.
Oh, I also run a £1k recommend a friend scheme, so please feel free to share with your connections.
