At One&Only, we exist to create joy for our guests through anticipation, creativity, precision, empathy and warmth. We tailor every aspect of our guests’ stay to bring their dreams and desires to life. With an atmosphere that’s chic but wonderfully unstuffy™, and a team who are meticulous but warm, we seek to exceed our guests’ expectations at every possible turn.

Behold the dawn of a new, all-encompassing resort experience in Dubai – One&Only One Za'abeel. A vibrant hub for business, a magnetic stage for entertainment, and a haven for inner-city wellness, this new Dubai resort will be more than a trailblazing icon of the skyline, and it will be an utterly unrivalled urban oasis. With abundant knowledge and generosity, we anticipate our guest’s every need and surpass expectations. Whether we are designing the perfect family day out or arranging a romantic private dinner, we approach everything with imagination to spark a sense of playfulness, discovery and adventure. This is not simply our job, it’s our passion.

About The Role

• Support execution of the resort’s F&B marketing and communications strategy, partnering closely with F&B Operations to deliver results.
• Analyze daily cover reports and identify opportunities to drive traffic, covers, and incremental revenue.
• Create and manage a dynamic marketing calendar including chef takeovers, festive activations, lifestyle collaborations, and brand partnerships.
• Stay plugged into the Dubai dining scene, spotting emerging food and beverage trends, new venues, and influencer movements.
• Build strong relationships with media, influencers, and industry partners to generate impactful PR coverage.
• Collaborate with MMI, A&E, and premium beverage brands to design co-branded events and sponsorships.
• Craft compelling storytelling that elevates our restaurants, bars, and lounges across digital, social, and press platforms.

About You

• 5–7 years’ experience in F&B marketing, brand partnerships, or communications, ideally from a restaurant group, beverage brand, or lifestyle agency.
• Deep understanding of Dubai’s F&B market, culinary trends, and the luxury dining guest mindset.
• Well-connected with chefs, food critics, media, influencers, suppliers, and distributors.
• Exceptionally creative, fast, and commercial, able to turn insights and trends into meaningful activations.
• Strong copywriting, event, and project-management skills with an eye for aesthetics and brand storytelling.
