The Marketing Coordinator supports marketing campaigns, communications, promotional activities, content coordination, digital channels, and reporting for Shangri-La’s UAE operations. Requirements typically include a bachelor’s degree or relevant diploma in marketing, communications, business, or hospitality, along with strong written and verbal English, organization, creativity, and proficiency in Microsoft Office and social media platforms. Knowledge of the UAE market and Arabic is advantageous. As part of the Emiratisation Program, the role is intended for a UAE national and may suit an early-career candidate. The successful candidate is expected to coordinate effectively with hotel departments and external partners, meet deadlines, maintain brand standards, manage multiple tasks, and demonstrate professionalism, initiative, and a genuine interest in luxury hospitality.
Shangri-La Group is a leading luxury hospitality company founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts, residences, and other properties across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and Africa. The group is known for its warm Asian hospitality, personalized guest service, premium accommodation, and destination-focused dining and wellness experiences. Shangri-La properties generally serve leisure travelers, corporate guests, families, and high-end events. In the United Arab Emirates, the company operates luxury hotels and resorts that combine international service standards with local culture and business expectations. Employees typically work in a multicultural environment with opportunities to develop careers in hotel operations, commercial functions, guest services, food and beverage, and corporate support. The company places emphasis on service excellence, teamwork, professional presentation, learning, and building long-term guest relationships.
The United Arab Emirates is not an island but a federation of seven emirates, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi offering the largest range of hospitality, tourism, retail, marketing, finance, technology, and aviation opportunities. The country has a modern, multicultural lifestyle, excellent infrastructure, warm weather, international dining, shopping, beaches, desert activities, and a strong expatriate community. Local culture values hospitality, respect, modest public behavior, and awareness of Islamic traditions. Dubai is fast-paced and cosmopolitan, while Abu Dhabi is generally quieter and more family-oriented. Employees normally require an employment entry permit and residence visa sponsored by their employer; the company usually arranges medical checks, Emirates ID processing, and work authorization. Candidates should confirm housing, transport, insurance, annual leave, and end-of-service benefits before relocating. Living costs, especially rent, can be high, so a salary package should be assessed together with benefits.
