We work across a mix of exciting sectors and now we’re looking for an account executive to join our growing media team in Dubai supporting key accounts.

🚀 What You’ll Do

This role is all about relationship-building, campaign delivery and learning fast. You’ll be part of a close-knit team working on high-profile clients – and you’ll be trusted to make your mark early on.

Your day-to-day could look like this:

• Ensure the smooth running of your client team supporting the account manager, director and other members of the team

• Manipulate, analyse and interpret data in Excel
• Deliver a high standard of data reporting based on working with both campaign data and existing data sources – delivered in both written and verbal format
• Develop your understanding of healthcare systems, pharmaceutical advertising and therapy areas that are relevant to your client

At Four, we believe in fast-tracking talent – and this role gives you the opportunity to work directly with clients and senior colleagues alike from day one.

Ideally, you will have some understanding of paid-media, digital media or general marketing and advertising. Experience within health and/or pharmaceutical advertising and marketing would be advantageous, though not essential (training will be provided).

You’ll also bring:

• Excellent verbal and written communications skills and ability to express ideas clearly
