What I'm looking for
I’m a bilingual Arabic/English professional with 11+ years of customer-facing and administrative experience in the UAE. I’m known for managing high-volume correspondence with patience, discretion, and clear, empathetic communication.
In my most recent roles, I’ve supported General Managers by acting as a first point of contact for internal and external stakeholders, handling sensitive enquiries and escalations, and coordinating end-to-end travel, meeting logistics, and administrative tasks. I also coordinate commercial negotiations, lease communications, and confidential documentation with strong accuracy and attention to detail.
I’ve further supported large operational teams—independently coordinating international expansion communications and managing full COP28 participation logistics—while building trusted relationships across leadership, partners, vendors, and government entities.
