Job description

Authorities Liaison Officer (RTA and Dubai Municipality)

Are you the person who knows how to get a road opening permit or a Dubai Municipality NOC over the line, and who has the contacts to make it happen faster?

A fast-growing AI-powered smart mobility company based in Dubai has gone from a handful of pilot sites to hundreds of live locations across the UAE in under two years, backed by major real estate, government and infrastructure partnerships. Every new site needs permits, NOCs and inspections before a single camera goes up. That work currently sits with external consultants and contractors, and it is the thing slowing projects down. The business is bringing it in house.

What’s in it for you

• Salary of up to AED 15,000 per month
• Medical insurance and visa covered for you and your family
• Ownership of the whole authority process rather than one slice of it
• Sitting inside the projects team with a direct line to the Head of Projects and the PMO
• A business expanding at real pace, where getting approvals moving has visible commercial impact
