Job description

Our client is looking for a Project Manager based in Dubai who has a string understanding of social and mobile B2C products and who comes from a traveltech or IT background.

You must have worked in a fast paced startup environment.

Salary range: 15 000 to 20 000 AED.

• Strong understanding of social products: you’ve used them deeply and maybe even built them
• Experience in B2C mobile-first products, ideally with user-generated content or community
• Familiar with engagement loops, content feeds, notifications, and creator/user dynamics
• Comfortable working in fast-paced startup environments with high ownership

Own the execution and coordination of the B2C Innovation product. Ensure smooth day-to-day delivery, clear documentation, and a sharp focus on building lovable, high-quality mobile experiences. Over time, co‑own the product strategy and business outcomes with the VP Product.

1. Execution & Sprint Ownership

• Define, prioritize, and maintain a healthy backlog with a strong mobile/social mindset.
• Break down features into lean deliverables while keeping UX intuitive and engaging.
• Lead sprint rituals and ensure all stakeholders are aligned.
• Own the accuracy and completeness of delivery across Android, iOS, and backend.

2. Social Product Thinking

• Embed social mechanics into product decisions: virality, sharing flows, content engagement, user-generated content (UGC), follower/following logic, comments, reactions, etc.
• Collaborate with the design team to craft interfaces and interactions that feel native to social platforms (Instagram, TikTok, etc).
• Partner with Growth/Marketing to align product flows with acquisition and engagement loops.
• Stay updated on trends in social apps and user behavior.

3. Team Enablement

• Unblock developers and designers by providing clear specs and fast responses.
• Serve as the bridge between vision and implementation.
• Ensure alignment across backend, iOS, Android, design, and QA.

4. Documentation & Clarity

• Maintain a single source of truth in Confluence for all active and upcoming features.
• Keep Jira organized, prioritized, and aligned with company objectives.
• Document product logic behind social features (feeds, ranking, content types, visibility rules).

5. Quality & Validation

• Review staging builds, validate social flows and edge cases.
• Collaborate with QA to ensure every release is aligned with spec.
• Identify inconsistencies in experience, especially around sharing and social engagement.

6. User-Centered Collaboration

• Work with marketing and product marketing on messaging, onboarding, and first‑time experiences.
• Support user interviews and feedback collection, especially for social features.
• Identify opportunities to create delight, habit, and FOMO.

7. Strategic Expansion (Phase 2)

• Co‑create product OKRs and KPIs focused on social engagement, retention, and content creation.
• Help define product roadmap and version milestones together with leadership.

✅ What Success Looks Like

• Daily work is unblocked, organized, and shipping consistently
• Social features are intuitive, sticky, and aligned with platform behavior
• Teams are aligned and product decisions are well‑documented
• The product feels modern, fluid, and native to how users engage socially
• Roadmap reflects a balance of vision, execution, and social‑led growth
