We’re working with an incredible client in the events industry. They’re based in Dubai, but their events take place across the UAE and online. Their portfolio is diverse and exciting. Think music festivals, sports events, health and fitness activations, food experiences, and innovation and tech expos. They’re involved in all of it.
​
This is not a typical desk job. We’re looking for people who live for events. People who don’t mind early mornings, late nights, shifting timelines, and solving problems on the spot. People who know how rewarding it feels when everything comes together. In this role, you’ll be involved from the first idea to the final report. You’ll handle the concept, the planning, the execution, and the wrap-up. Start to finish.
​
You’d be joining a team that is young, collaborative, and driven. Most of them are in their twenties and thirties. We’re looking for people who matches that kind of energy and mindset.

What you’ll be doing
​
Your day to day will depend on your level of experience, but here’s what the work includes:
​
‣ Managing the full event project cycle from start to finish
‣ Planning budgets, timelines, and milestones
‣ Coordinating with vendors, venues, and stakeholders
‣ Setting up and managing ticketing and registration systems
‣ Leading on-site setup and logistics
‣ Solving problems in real time when things don’t go as planned
‣ Collaborating with internal teams including marketing, tech, and communications
‣ Managing volunteers and freelance support
‣ Handling post-event reporting and feedback
‣ Making sure events meet brand, safety, and legal standards
‣ Organizing travel and accommodation for speakers and VIPs
‣ Coordinating AV and production
‣ Contributing creative ideas around the event format and engagement strategy​​

How to apply

Deadline: 4. 9. 2026

 

TWO THINGS YOU MUST GET RIGHT BEFORE APPLYING

​

1. Your CV must be ATS readable
No photos. No fancy fonts. No Canva templates. If your CV isn’t machine-readable, it will not be seen by a human. This team uses an ATS, and they expect applicants to know how the process works especially if you’re applying for a senior role.

​

2. Your CV must show event experience
It’s not enough to write "managed events." Be specific. What kind of events? How many people? What vendors did you work with? What budgets did you handle? What tools or platforms did you use?

If your event experience is real, your CV should tell that story clearly. If you’ve just supported someone else on a few small events, that’s not going to be enough here.

​

Not sure if your CV is strong enough or ATS friendly?

Send us a message at darija@darijamesko.com. We offer this as a service and can help you clean it up so your application actually gets seen.

​

To be clear, using our CV service won’t guarantee you get hired but it will make sure your CV doesn't get filtered out before a human ever looks at it.
