Digital Advertising Executive (Dubai - starting early 2019) job in United Arab Emirates

Job Description

Last year we opened a fantastic office in Dubai, with fantastic views overlooking the Palm and Burj Al Arab, and we’re looking for exceptional individuals based in Dubai to join our fast-growing PPC team in January, February and March 2019. As a Digital Advertising Executive in our Dubai office, you will specialise in Pay-Per-Click Marketing and become an expert in this niche and constantly changing field. We're looking for UAE residents who are ambitious, data-driven and enthusiastic individuals looking to start their career in Pay-Per-Click digital marketing in Dubai.

This is a fantastic role to kick off your career in PPC at Merkle with a salary of between 9,000-11,000 AED a month. For this role you must be able to speak fluent Arabic.

PPC stands for ‘pay-per-click’ and is one of the most popular forms of digital advertising. So, how does it work? Well, PPC does exactly what it says on the tin; advertisers list their ads on search engine results pages and then pay the search engine every time a user clicks on one. The better you are at identifying the users you want to click, the more effective your campaign and the happier your client. Simple.

Life as a Digital Advertising Executive (specialising in PPC)

• You'll become an expert in PPC!
• We have fantastic training and mentorship programmes in place to help you get up to speed with what we do, learn how everything works and pass your Google exam
• As part of this role, there will be an opportunity to be trained in our regional HQ in London
• You will be working directly with a portfolio of clients in a wide range of sectors spanning both business-to-business and business-to-consumer
• You will be able to evaluate campaign requirements and goals and to formulate the best approach for achieving these
• You will design and implement campaigns from scratch and may also be required to assess existing campaigns and identify opportunities for improvement
• You will regularly evaluate performance, working to continually optimise performance on behalf of your clients
• You will report back to clients and make recommendations based on your analysis

Thanks to the rapid growth and our commitment to hiring predominantly at junior levels, there are fantastic opportunities for career progression. These include mentoring and training, development of our technical capabilities and thought leadership, driving strategy across multiple accounts, and ultimately the potential to manage a team of specialists.

What we're looking for in you:

• Strong written and spoken English & Arabic is essential, as you will be running campaigns in both languages, as well as communicating extensively via email and preparing reports for clients
