The Role: Manager, Outreach and Stakeholder Relations

You’ll shape how the organisation reaches out to the people and institutions that matter most to its work, from UAE government entities to embassies, international organisations and partners around the world. You’ll also lead on protocol, making sure senior leaders and high-level guests are looked after to the highest standard. Your main responsibilities will be:

• Setting and delivering the outreach plan, and deciding which relationships to prioritise

• Leading protocol for VIP visits and senior engagements, from planning through to the day itself
• Making sure protocol standards are followed consistently across the organisation

You’ll have solid experience in stakeholder relations, government relations or protocol, ideally gained at a government entity, a semi-government organisation or a large company working closely with government. You’ll be comfortable dealing with senior officials, diplomats and VIPs, and you’ll know how to handle sensitive situations calmly and with good judgement. Experience coordinating high-level visits and working with embassies is important, and any exposure to partnerships or sponsorship would be a plus.
