About the role<br> The Graduate Project Manager role provides the essential coordination and structural support required to execute complex mandates for our clients, including an ongoing engagement for a Dubai-based financial services firm. We require an organized thinker who can track various project components without losing sight of the core strategic objectives. This position ensures that our principals can focus on high-level advisory while the mechanics of each project remain precise, timely, and well-documented.<br> <br>About Arabian Private Holdings<br> Arabian Private Holdings was founded on the principle that many critical business problems do not fit the traditional large-firm consulting model. A board facing a succession question or a family group weighing a capital injection does not need a team of twelve associates and a hundred-page methodology deck. They need experienced partners who can sit with a problem, form a rigorous view, and defend it. Our work covers corporate strategy, governance, and operating model efficiency for some of the most significant family groups, listed corporations, and government entities in the region. We operate as a remote firm, choosing to prioritize the quality of our analysis and the strength of our relationships over traditional office overhead. If a project is not a fit for our expertise, we are direct about it. If it is, we stay involved until the decision is made and the results are delivered.<br> <br>What you will do Maintain project timelines and internal resource logs for our current mandate with a Dubai-based financial services firm. Conduct targeted research into market trends and regulatory changes that affect client portfolios and holding company structures. Assist principals in drafting concise briefing notes and governance frameworks that translate complex data into clear recommendations. Track the status of different workstreams to ensure no detail is overlooked during a client scaling transition. Form a preliminary view on operational bottlenecks based on data provided by clients and internal analysis. Organize internal documentation and records so that the rationale for every decision is preserved and easily accessible. Prepare summary reports that outline project progress and highlight potential risks to the timeline. Support the principals in coordinating communication across different stakeholder groups involved in a mandate. <br><br>What we are looking for A high level of written precision and the ability to explain logical steps clearly in plain English. Natural curiosity about how large holding companies and financial institutions operate and generate value. Strong organizational habits that allow you to manage multiple threads of a mandate simultaneously without losing focus. A degree in business, economics, or a related field that demonstrates analytical training and academic rigor. Comfort working in a fully remote environment that requires proactive communication and self-direction. The ability to identify when a project is drifting from its original scope and call attention to it early. <br><br>How we work<br> We have replaced the traditional office with a model that prioritizes the quality of analysis over physical presence. Every member of the firm works remotely, using clear communication and shared documentation to stay aligned on our mandates. Mentoring happens through direct involvement in partner-level work rather than through formal training programs or HR initiatives. We value a quiet, focused approach where everyone is accountable for the outcome of the client engagement. Our firm avoids the aggressive growth targets of larger consultancies, focusing instead on delivering clarity for a select number of clients who value independent, honest advice.<br> <br>What the role offers Direct exposure to senior principals and high-stakes corporate decision-making processes. A permanent, full-time position that is 100 percent remote. Competitive pay that is attractive for the entry-level market. The opportunity to contribute to significant projects, such as our current work with a Dubai-based financial services firm. A professional environment that values intellectual rigor and respects professional boundaries.

Gym Nation<br><br> 1 active job (view) www.gymnation.com<br><br>Published<br><br>August 11, 2026<br><br>Location<br><br>Dubai, United Arab Emirates<br><br>Category<br><br>Marketing & Advertising<br><br>Job Type<br><br>Permanent: Full-time<br><br>Description<br><br>50+ gyms. 250,000+ members and expanding quickly!<br><br>Gym Nation, the Middle East's fastest-growing fitness brand, is seeking a world-class Head of Member Retention & Loyalty to own churn, tenure and member lifetime value end-to-end. One of the first roles of its kind in the global fitness industry.<br><br>We've become brilliant at getting people through the door. Now we're going to be the best in the world at keeping them. Every operator talks about churn - almost none have a senior leader who owns it. From a member's first workout to the moment they'd never dream of cancelling, the relationship is yours to design.<br><br>You won't start from a blank page. A best-in-industry technology stack and established tech, data and CRM teams are here to put your ideas into action. You'll unite behavioural science, technology and creativity into one retention system. We leverage AI and automation across the business and expect you to advance us here. In retention, AI is the difference between reacting to cancellations and predicting them.<br><br>We're growing fast, and so will your impact: exceptional visibility, direct influence on strategy, and the chance to build the retention playbook the rest of the industry will want to copy and can't.<br><br>Responsibilities<br><br>Retention Strategy & Ownership<br><br>Own the retention strategy and be accountable for member churn, average length of stay and lifetime value across the business. Specify and sign off a single agreed view of retention performance - cohort curves, survival analysis, and voluntary versus involuntary churn. Diagnose why and when members leave, by segment, tenure, price point, joining channel, gym and market. Prioritise the levers by value at stake, and kill the ones that don't move the number. Own the multi-year roadmap that takes retention from a reporting line to a structural competitive advantage.<br><br>Behavioural Science, Onboarding & Habit Formation<br><br>Redesign onboarding and the critical first 90 days around the behaviours that actually predict long-term membership. Identify and instrument our early-visit "magic number" - the visit frequency that separates a member who stays from one who lapses. Apply named behavioural science (habit loops, commitment devices, loss aversion, goal gradient, social proof, nudge theory) to real member journeys, not theory. Own the nudge architecture behind every journey - the timing, framing, defaults, choice sets and friction that decide whether a member acts, not just the message sent. Design the in-gym moments that matter: first workout, first class, first body scan, first personal goal, first friend made. Set the brief for Operations and in-gym teams so front desk and floor staff are an active part of the retention system.<br><br>Gamification<br><br>Design and work with the tech team to ship gamification inside the Gym Nation app - streaks, badges, milestones, challenges, leaderboards and rewards. Build mechanics that drive genuine visit frequency and belonging, not vanity metrics, and retire what doesn't earn its place. Integrate body-composition and performance data so progress itself becomes the reward.<br><br>Loyalty Programmes<br><br>Build and own the Gym Nation loyalty programme - tenure rewards, status tiers, partner perks and member benefits. Own the referral programme so loyalty compounds, and the win-back programme so lapsed members return. Create structural reasons to stay that competitors cannot copy, and that strengthen rather than discount the proposition. Own the reward economics so the programme demonstrably pays for itself in retained revenue.<br><br>Ancillary & Add-On Retention<br><br>Own churn and tenure across the full product ladder, not just core membership - body-composition scanning, Recovery Rooms, hydration and in-gym retail, and premium or signature products. Track add-on churn separately from core churn. A member who drops one product but stays is a different problem to one who leaves altogether. Identify which add-ons are genuine retention anchors and which are simply incremental revenue, then own the attach-and-retain playbook: what is sold at join, what is sold later, and what actually extends core tenure. Design upgrade, downgrade and pause paths so that a cancellation becomes a downgrade rather than a loss.<br><br>AI & the Member App<br><br>Direct the roadmap for churn-risk scoring, personalised journeys and next-best-action in the app. Own and evolve the AI save-flow - matching the right save lever to every reason a member gives for leaving. Use AI to personalise content, goals, class recommendations and nudges at individual member level. Work with Technology and Data to move from rules-based triggers to predictive, continuously learning models. Set the standard for how AI is used responsibly with member data in every country we operate in.<br><br>Lifecycle Communications<br><br>With the Head of CRM and wider marketing team, orchestrate every channel into one coherent member journey - email, push, SMS, Whats App, in-app, in-gym screens, TV and radio, and front-desk conversations. Launch and continuously improve lifecycle campaigns for onboarding, at-risk, lapsed, win-back and high-value members. Eliminate fragmented messaging that erodes trust, and govern contact frequency across the business.<br><br>Measurement, Experimentation & Reporting<br><br>Run a continuous programme of experiments and A/B tests - designed properly, read honestly, and scaled only when they work. Quantify the revenue impact of every retention initiative and report it to leadership in commercial terms. Build the dashboards and scorecards that give leadership and gym managers real-time visibility. Benchmark against global operators and set the target that makes us best in class.<br><br>Team & Cross-Functional Leadership<br><br>Build and lead the retention and loyalty function from the ground up. Work across Technology, Data, CRM, Marketing, Operations and Finance to make retention a company-wide priority, not a departmental initiative. Translate complex behavioural and analytical findings into executive-ready recommendations for the leadership team, board and investors.<br><br>Requirements<br><br>Experience<br><br>5+ years in retention, loyalty, lifecycle marketing, CRM or customer experience, with at least 3 years leading or building a function. Track record of owning retention or loyalty in a consumer subscription business, with demonstrable impact on churn and lifetime value. You might come from anywhere - subscription tech, gaming, telco, fintech, streaming, e-commerce, hospitality or fitness. What matters is the instinct for behaviour, data and habit. Experience designing and launching a loyalty programme, gamification system or major lifecycle journey end-to-end, not just optimising one. Product-minded, with experience shipping features or journeys inside a mobile app alongside product and engineering teams. Multi-product or add-on subscription experience is a strong advantage - tiering, attach and cross-sell, downgrade paths and product-ladder economics - as is multi-market or multi-language experience.<br><br>Technical Requirements<br><br>Data-literate and hands-on - cohort analysis, survival curves, LTV modelling, churn drivers and segmentation. Strong understanding of A/B testing, experiment design, statistical significance and the traps in both. Familiarity with subscription billing platforms, recurring-payment lifecycles, dunning and involuntary churn. Comfortable using AI tools (LLMs, agents, Claude Code) to accelerate workflows and multiply your output.<br><br>Mindset<br><br>Behavioural science fluent - can name the science and apply it to a real member journey. Commercially minded - sees retention as revenue, not a soft metric, and can defend every investment in those terms. Builder mentality - energised by a blank page, a world-first mandate and the chance to define the role rather than inherit it. Exceptional communicator - can align Tech, Data, Marketing and Operations behind one retention goal. Strategic thinker who can zoom out to set direction and zoom in to write the push notification copy when it matters. Intellectually honest - reads experiment results as they are, not as they were hoped to be. AI-forward - sees AI tools as core to how a modern retention function operates.<br><br>Additional Information<br><br>What Success Looks Like: The metrics you'll move<br><br>Monthly and annual churn - the headline number you own. Member lifetime value and average length of stay. Visit frequency, and the percentage of members hitting the sticky threshold. Cancellation save-rate - members retained at the point of leaving. Add-on attach rate, add-on churn and ancillary revenue per member. App engagement, including DAU/MAU, streaks and challenge participation. Referral and win-back rates.<br><br>How to Apply<br><br>If this sounds like the perfect role for you, or someone you know, please apply and our HR team will be in touch asap with shortlisted candidates.<br><br>We look forward to hearing from you!<br><br>APPLY HERE: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4450305141/
