Job description

This opportunity is open to UAE Nationals only, in line with our national talent commitment.

Company Description

Hameem Technologies is an Abu Dhabi based technology investment and innovation company focused on building national capability for the United Arab Emirates. The organisation identifies, invests in, and develops advanced technologies across defence and security, artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, advanced manufacturing, and emerging technology. By combining capital, engineering expertise, and strong partnerships with world leading firms, Hameem Technologies moves solutions from prototype to deployable capability in real operational environments. As a mission led company, we measure success by the value our capabilities provide to the nation and by the trusted relationships we build with government bodies, technology partners, and suppliers.

Role Description

The Executive Office Manager is the administrative backbone of the company. The role brings together three areas: direct support to the Chief Executive Officer, covering the executive calendar, correspondence, and confidential matters; full ownership of daily office operations and administrative support for the entire team; and the planning and delivery of company events, exhibition participation, and hospitality for visiting delegations. Given our compact size, this position is the single point of reference for all administrative, operational, event, and government liaison matters.
