office manager Jobs

We are looking for a highly organized and experienced Public Relations Manager to join our team and take full ownership of all employee, government relations and compliance operations across our entities. This is a hands-on role — not marketing, not client-facing — built for someone who thrives in the world of ministries, typing centres, and free zone portals.<br>What You'll Be Doing:<br>You'll manage the complete visa and labour cycle — from new employee onboarding to renewals and cancellations — across both Mainland and Free Zone entities. Trade licence renewals for all group companies will sit squarely on your plate, and you'll be the go-to person ensuring nothing lapses, expires, or gets held up in a queue somewhere. Beyond the transactional work, you'll coordinate with our regional offices to keep operations aligned, and keep internal teams informed on any changes coming out of MoHRE, the Ministry of Labour, or relevant free zone authorities. When regulations shift, your colleagues should hear it from you first. Day-to-day, you'll handle medical fitness applications, Emirates ID submissions, and petty cash reconciliation with the Finance team on a weekly basis. Account managers across the business will lean on you for answers to UAE labour-related queries — so strong knowledge of local laws isn't optional, it's essential. This role requires someone who can lead independently, manage their own workload without hand-holding, and stay calm when deadlines stack up.
