Operator à Italie

Were hiring an Operations Manager to help us scale a fast-growing financial services media company based in Dubai.

The Financial Planner Life is a podcast-first, video-first media company working at the heart of the UK's financial planning profession.

We partner with financial planners and product providers to create powerful branded media that attracts clients, builds trust, and grows teams. From podcast series and YouTube content to docustories and paid partnerships, our work helps brands communicate clearly, creatively, and consistently.

We have proven the model ourselves. Our flagship show, The Financial Planner Life Podcast, has built a highly engaged niche audience, secured major partnerships, and opened the door to new commercial and creative opportunities.

We are already a standout brand in the financial planning space and now we are scaling.

We need a highly organized Operations Manager in Dubai to help us build the systems and structure behind our next chapter.

You will work directly with our founder, Sam Oakes, to run the operational side of a growing media company. From automation and funnel marketing to production timelines and client onboarding, you will build the engine that powers everything behind the scenes.

Key responsibilities:

1. Build out operational systems from scratch including CRM (HubSpot or GoHighLevel), project management, marketing automation, and lead capture.
2. Design and implement automated workflows using Zapier and integrated tools to streamline onboarding, outreach, and internal communication.
3. Manage media production workflows across podcasts, YouTube series, docustories, and branded partnerships.
4. Set up and deliver webinars and online courses, including landing pages, email sequences, and backend buildouts (such as Kajabi).
5. Drive lead generation strategies, create marketing funnels, and grow a clean, responsive email database.
6. Oversee client operations from quoting and invoicing to scheduling and aftersales care.
7. Coordinate a team of videographers, editors, designers, copywriters, and freelancers.
8. Maintain our marketing rhythm through regular email campaigns, newsletters, and social scheduling.
9. Free up Sam's time to focus on client strategy, product development, and brand partnerships.

• You are already based in Dubai or open to relocating from the UK.
• You have proven experience in an operational, marketing, or media operations role. This is not a trainee position.
• You are confident building systems from scratch and improving them as we grow.
• You have worked in or with a creative or media agency and understand how media production flows.
• You have delivered lead generation campaigns and built effective, data-driven marketing funnels.
• You are experienced with tools like HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Zapier, and Kajabi.
• You have launched webinars and online courses and know how to manage every moving part.
• You are fluent in English, both spoken and written.
• You are a highly organized, self-directed operator who thrives in fast-moving, creative environments.

This is a chance to help build and scale a media brand that is already well-established in a specific and loyal niche.

We are not starting from scratch. We have the clients, the audience, and the results. What we need now is structure, systems, and smart operational leadership to grow faster and serve better. That is where you come in.

Send your CV with real examples of what you have delivered. Show us the systems you have built, funnels you have launched, and teams you have managed. We are looking for evidence, not just ambition.
