Job Description

We’re not only looking for a writer.

We’re looking for a person that thinks beyond the text.

A person that is in love with finding original and engaging ideas, and won’t rest until they crack it. 

A thinker that knows how to craft ideas into beautiful words. Be it a memorable headline, a moving manifesto, or a funny post, even a beautiful film, that needs no words at all.

A person in love with the Arabic language and that can strategically piece it together to form an emotional manifesto copy just as well as  funny, short, and engaging digital content

A person who understands that no copy is created equal and that different brands have different tones.

A person that is aware of what is happening in all aspects of culture, from movies to TikTok, Netflix series, TV, IG, pop culture, local, regional, and international.

A person in touch with the local and regional Arabic cultural scene (digital platforms, music, books...)

A person who is able to organize and prioritize a weekly workload and can take a brief and can come back with a well-formed idea.

A person who can adapt from an English copy and not translate it.

We’re not only looking for a writer.

  • Cross-channel perfection: One concept, so many messaging mediums – you’ll be a master at making an idea translate effectively and flawlessly across all marketing assets
