Website and Content Editor

About Emirates Loves

Emirates Loves is a growing network of community platforms celebrating the friendship between the UAE and nations around the world. Alongside our social communities, we create and produce large-scale cultural events across the UAE.

Our website is where the stories behind those events live: what's coming up, what's happening now, and what just happened.

The role

We're looking for a Digital Content Manager to own the Emirates Loves website end to end — administering and maintaining the site, and writing the news and event coverage published on it.

This is a hands-on role for someone who is equally comfortable in a CMS and in a blank document. You'll be the single point of ownership for how Emirates Loves shows up online outside of social media.

What you'll do

Own the day-to-day administration, upkeep, and publishing workflow of the Emirates Loves website

Write and publish news articles, event announcements, previews, and post-event coverage

Build and maintain event landing pages ahead of each activation, coordinating with the events and marketing teams on schedules, visuals, and registration links

Keep the homepage and news feed current — including live updates on event days

Source, edit, and optimise photography, video, and copy from our events and community pages

Plan, write, and send regular newsletters and email marketing campaigns to our community, partners, and past attendees

Maintain a content calendar aligned to the event schedule across all Emirates Loves pages

Ensure every piece of content is accurate, on-brand, and appropriate for a UAE cultural and government-facing audience

Handle on-page SEO, metadata, page speed, and accessibility basics

Coordinate with designers and developers on site improvements and new sections

Track traffic and engagement, and use those insights to shape what we publish

What we're looking for

2–4 years in web content management, digital editorial, online journalism, or a similar role

Excellent written English; professional Arabic strongly preferred — bilingual content is core to what we do

Hands-on experience with a CMS

A real news instinct: the ability to turn an event into a clear, accurate story quickly

Strong organisation and the ability to work to event deadlines, including occasional evenings and weekends around event days

Working knowledge of SEO and web analytics (Google Analytics / Search Console)

Basic image and video editing (Canva, Adobe Creative Suite)

Nice to have: familiarity with the UAE media and cultural landscape, experience covering live events, newsletter or social-first content experience, and a portfolio of published writing.

Requirements

Strong experience with WordPress development

Good design sense and ability to create modern UI layouts

Experience with custom dashboard development

Experience building or managing event organization/booking systems

Knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and WordPress best practices

Familiarity with responsive design and UX principles

Ability to work independently and deliver high-quality solutions
