Digital Content Manager Emirates Loves · Dubai, UAE · Full-time · On-site About Emirates Loves Emirates Loves is a growing network of community platforms celebrating the friendship between the UAE and nations around the world.
Alongside our social communities, we create and produce large-scale cultural events across the UAE.
Our website is where the stories behind those events live: what's coming up, what's happening now, and what just happened.
The Role We're looking for a Digital Content Manager to own the Emirates Loves website end to end — administering and maintaining the site, and writing the news and event coverage published on it.
This is a hands-on role for someone who is equally comfortable in a CMS and in a blank document.
You'll be the single point of ownership for how Emirates Loves shows up online outside of social media.
What You'll Do • Own the day-to-day administration, upkeep, and publishing workflow of the Emirates Loves website • Write and publish news articles, event announcements, previews, and post-event coverage • Build and maintain event landing pages ahead of each activation, coordinating with the events and marketing teams on schedules, visuals, and registration links • Keep the homepage and news feed current — including live updates on event days • Source, edit, and optimise photography, video, and copy from our events and community pages • Plan, write, and send regular newsletters and email marketing campaigns to our community, partners, and past attendees • Maintain a content calendar aligned to the event schedule across all Emirates Loves pages • Ensure every piece of content is accurate, on-brand, and appropriate for a UAE cultural and government-facing audience • Handle on-page SEO, metadata, page speed, and accessibility basics • Coordinate with designers and developers on site improvements and new sections • Track traffic and engagement, and use those insights to shape what we publish What We're Looking For • 2–4 years in web content management, digital editorial, online journalism, or a similar role • Excellent written English; professional Arabic strongly preferred — bilingual content is core to what we do • Hands-on experience with a CMS • A real news instinct: the ability to turn an event into a clear, accurate story quickly • Strong organisation and the ability to work to event deadlines, including occasional evenings and weekends around event days • Working knowledge of SEO and web analytics (Google Analytics / Search Console) • Basic image and video editing (Canva, Adobe Creative Suite) Nice to have: familiarity with the UAE media and cultural landscape, experience covering live events, newsletter or social-first content experience, and a portfolio of published writing.
Requirements: * Strong experience with WordPress development * Good design sense and ability to create modern UI layouts * Experience with custom dashboard development * Experience building or managing event organization/booking systems * Knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and WordPress best practices * Familiarity with responsive design and UX principles * Ability to work independently and deliver high-quality solutions
