Marketing Manager

Marketing Manager | Dubai, UAE

What This Role Is About

Our client, an ambitious FMCG start-up, is looking for a Marketing Manager, based in Dubai, to drive brand growth and support the expansion of the business across the GCC.

This is a highly hands-on role for someone who is comfortable building from the ground up. As the business continues to grow, you will take ownership of key marketing initiatives, develop go-to-market strategies, and help strengthen the company's presence across multiple GCC markets.

You will work closely with senior leadership and cross-functional teams to identify growth opportunities, develop effective market strategies, and turn plans into action.

Please note that this is an individual contributor role at this stage, with no direct reports. The successful candidate must be comfortable operating independently and taking a hands-on approach to building the marketing function.

The Client's Definition of the Ideal Fit

• 8+ years of FMCG experience, with current experience within an FMCG Food & Beverage business
• Experience working across at least 3 to 4 GCC countries is required
• Strong hands-on experience in Go-To-Market strategy and expanding businesses across the GCC. This experience must be clearly demonstrated through previous roles and responsibilities
• Comfortable working in a start-up environment and building marketing initiatives independently
• A strong mix of experience across both multinational and local FMCG businesses
• Proven ability to work in fast-paced and evolving environments with a high level of ownership
• Strong commercial, strategic, and execution capabilities

We understand this is a highly specific profile and that the combination of requirements significantly narrows the talent pool. However, these experiences are essential for the stage of growth and ambitions of the business.
