Job description

Social Media Marketing Manager (Social & Influencer - Russian)

Washmen Group | Dubai, UAE | Full-time

Washmen is redefining luxury garment care in the UAE. What started as a laundry service has evolved into a family of premium brands—Washmen (on-demand laundry), The Finery (luxury garment and leather care), and ShoeCare—serving Dubai and Abu Dhabi's most discerning clients.

We've built a loyal customer base among Dubai's international community, and now we're ready to go deeper. We're not just translating content—we're building authentic connections with communities that value quality, service, and luxury done right.

The Role

We're hiring a Marketing Manager (Social & Influencer - Russian) to own our brand presence and customer acquisition within Dubai's Russian-speaking community.

This isn't a "translate English posts to Russian" role. We need someone who understands the Russian expat experience in Dubai—what matters to them, how they discover services, who they trust, and how luxury brands should speak to them without sounding forced or fake.

You'll build our social presence from the ground up for this market, develop relationships with the right influencers (not just the ones with the biggest followings), create content that actually resonates, and turn Russian expats into loyal customers across all three brands.

You'll report to our Marketing Director and Creative Director, work closely with our creative team, and have the freedom to test, learn, and build a playbook for what works in this market.

What You’ll Own

• Social media across Instagram, TikTok, Telegram—creating content that feels native, not translated
• Influencer partnerships—finding, vetting, negotiating with Russian-speaking influencers and content creators in Dubai
• Community building—becoming the connector between Washmen and the Russian expat community through events, partnerships, and authentic engagement
• Culturally relevant campaigns—developing campaigns that speak to Russian holidays, cultural moments, and community values
• Content collaboration—briefing our creative team on what works for Russian audiences while maintaining our luxury brand positioning (especially for The Finery)
• Customer acquisition—driving measurable new Russian-speaking customers through organic social and influencer channels

This is a chance to build something from scratch. If you've been wanting to own a market rather than just post content, this is it.

Why Join Washmen?

You’ll own a market. This isn't a junior role where you execute someone else's strategy. You'll build the Russian market strategy, make decisions, and see direct impact from your work.

You’ll work with a smart, no-BS team. Our Marketing Director moves fast, values cultural authenticity over corporate jargon, and trusts people who know their craft. Our Creative Director ensures everything we put out is exceptional.

You’ll bridge two worlds. You understand luxury positioning AND Russian cultural preferences. That's rare, and we value it. You'll help us maintain The Finery and Washmen’s quiet confidence while making it resonate with Russian clients.

You’ll have resources. Budget for influencer partnerships, access to a talented creative team, and the tools you need to do great work.

Competitive package. Salary commensurate with experience, performance bonuses tied to community growth and customer acquisition targets, and the chance to build something meaningful in Dubai's luxury service space.

You're a Great Fit If:

• ✅ Native Russian speaker with fluent English
• ✅ 3-5 years in social media, influencer marketing, or community management
• ✅ Live in Dubai and deeply understand the Russian expat community here
• ✅ Proven track record managing influencer campaigns with measurable results (not just "awareness")
• ✅ Culturally fluent—you know the difference between adapting content and just translating it
• ✅ Understand luxury brand positioning and can maintain brand standards while making them feel authentic
• ✅ Relationship builder—influencers and community leaders want to work with you
• ✅ Creative and resourceful—you can get exceptional value through smart barter deals, long-term partnerships, and authentic storytelling
• ✅ Organized and proactive—you can manage multiple influencer partnerships, content calendars, and campaigns without dropping balls

You're NOT a Fit If:

• ❌ Not a native Russian speaker or don't understand Russian expat culture in Dubai
• ❌ Only done corporate/B2B social media (this is consumer-facing and community-driven)
• ❌ Think influencer marketing is just "pay someone to post once"
• ❌ Can't show specific examples of campaigns with actual results
• ❌ Need a large team or resources to execute—this is an IC role working collaboratively
• ❌ Uncomfortable with luxury brand positioning or don't understand nuances between aspirational (The Finery) and approachable (Washmen)

How to Apply

If this sounds like you, don’t just send a standard CV.

We want a cover letter in Russian (max 500 words) that addresses:

Your best influencer/social win: Tell us about a campaign or partnership you managed. What was the goal, what did you do, and what were the results?

How you’d approach Washmen: If you were launching our brand to the Russian community, what would your first 30 days look like? Which influencers would you target and why?

Your content instinct: Show us 2-3 examples of social content (from any brand) that you think works brilliantly for Russian audiences in Dubai. Explain why.

Send your CV + cover letter to [hiring email]. In the subject line: "Маркетинг Менеджер - [Your Name]"

Bonus points: Include links to campaigns or content you’ve created, influencers you’ve worked with (if you can share), or your own social presence if relevant.
