Job description

Marketing Associate - Social Media & Content Creation

Alaan is the Middle East’s first AI-powered spend management platform, built to help businesses save time and money.
Our all-in-one solution combines smart corporate cards, real-time expense tracking, AI-powered automation, seamless accounting integrations, and deep financial insights- designed to simplify finance operations and maximize control over company spend.

Founded in 2022, Alaan is already the trusted partner of over 2000 leading businesses across the UAE and KSA, including G42, Careem, McDonald’s, Tabby, Al Barari, Rove Hotels, Rivoli, and CarSwitch. Together, our customers have saved over AED 100 million with Alaan.

In just three years, Alaan has become the #1 expense management platform in the Middle East- and we’ve done it while becoming profitable.

Backed by Y Combinator and top global investors- including founders and executives of leading startups- Alaan is built by a world-class team from McKinsey, BCG, Goldman Sachs, Barclays, Zomato, Careem, Rippling, and other high-growth companies.

We’re not just building software. We’re reimagining how finance works for modern businesses across the region.

About the role

As a Marketing Associate, you will shape Alaan’s social presence across LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and upcoming channels. You will be on the ground capturing real moments, creating scroll-stopping content, and helping build a brand that finance professionals across the region love and engage with.
This is a hands-on content creation role suited for someone who lives on social media, thinks in trends and hooks, and can shoot and edit videos on the go.

What you'll do

• Create short-form videos, reels, and stories for LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat
• Capture on-ground content at events, customer visits, office days, product shoots, and everyday team moments
• Edit videos quickly using mobile editing apps like CapCut, VN, or similar
• Identify trends early and adapt them for Alaan’s tone and audience
• Build and maintain a weekly content calendar with the marketing team
• Repurpose longer content (interviews, webinars, events) into bite-sized clips
• Support marketing campaigns with creative ideas, fast edits, and on-site content
• Engage with the finance and startup community across platforms through comments, DMs, and creator interactions
• Collaborate with the design and campaigns team to bring larger storytelling ideas to life

What we are looking for

• 1–2 years of experience in social media, content creation, or digital marketing
• Strong shooting and editing skills (phone-first creators welcome)
• Deep understanding of social trends across UAE and KSA
• Ability to create quality video content independently and at speed
• Comfortable being in fast-paced environments, capturing content in real time
• Creative mindset with a strong sense of storytelling and brand voice
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Fluent in English (Arabic is a plus)

What's in it for you

• Contribute to building the Middle East’s most beloved fintech brand from the ground up
• Benefit from a role with significant ownership and accountability
• Thrive in a flexible hybrid culture with ample work-life balance
• Participate in exciting offsite events
• Competitive salary and equity
• Enjoy additional perks like travel allowances, gym memberships, and more
