Role Overview
We’re seeking a Dubai-based contractor with strong cultural fluency and a finger on the pulse of the city’s elite and aspirational social circuits. You’ll play a key role in cultivating an aspirational community for The League—through strategic offline events, key partnerships, and curated relationship-building moments with tastemakers and high-intent singles.
Your north star: a thriving, self-sustaining community of high-intent users who not only join The League, but stay active, engaged, and proud to belong.
Key Responsibilities
●
Community Curation & Growth
- Identify and build relationships with key opinion leaders who are culturally aligned, and have access to a network of high-powered singles in Dubai, who would best represent The League’s ethos.
- Map out the right social circuits—art, entrepreneurship, F&B, tech, luxury, media—to seed and grow the community authentically.
●
Event Planning & Execution
- Conceptualize and execute elevated, culturally relevant offline events—from intimate mixers to high-profile gatherings.
- Partner with premium venues, hospitality players, and cultural gatekeepers to deliver experiences that align with The League’s exclusivity.
●
Cultural Insight & Strategy
- Bring deep insight into the relationship, dating, and social norms of Dubai’s diverse professional segments.
- Act as the local voice of the brand to ensure tone, tactics, and experiences are culturally resonant and always respectful.
●
Brand Advocacy & Influence
- Activate organic advocates within the League’s community—founders, influencers, creatives, and professionals—who can drive word of mouth.
- Collaborate with local content creators or micro-influencers to tell the brand story authentically across relevant platforms.
●
KPI Ownership & Success Metrics
- Driving Business Outcomes: Drive early product adoption by turning offline momentum into in-app activation.
- Improve engagement and retention through high-touch community-building strategies.
- Contribute to the growth of an active, high-intent user base by sparking organic referrals and building trust within key networks.
- Capture and relay local insights that influence product experience, positioning, and communication strategy.
Who You Are
- Deeply embedded in Dubai’s cultural and professional circuits—be it the DIFC scene, Alserkal Avenue, crypto meetups, or luxury brand launches.
- Experience with luxury, lifestyle, or premium community brands preferred.
- A proven track record in planning and executing offline events that blend aesthetic, intent, and community.
- Strong understanding of cultural sensitivities, especially around dating and gender dynamics in the region.
- Strategic, organized, and relationship-driven. You’re a connector and a curator, not just an executor.
- Fluent in English; Arabic is a big plus.
