    The ideal candidate must demonstrate the ability to:


    Collaborate with and support the Global Head of Employability and Employer Relations to ensure local strategies in the UAE are aligned with GEDU's global employability vision, fostering consistency, shared best practices, and scalable impact across the Group.

    Proactively build new, successful, and long-standing employer strategies and partnerships in a competitive and fast-evolving market that will lead to placements of our students.

    The programme must ensure that graduates are career-ready and able to compete in a dynamic global job market to secure employment.

    Develop and implement a structured alumni engagement programme that expands opportunities for networking, mentoring, and job placements in UAE, and across the GEDU student and alumni community, fostering long-term professional connections and career development pathways.

    In addition to these core responsibilities, the role leads the strategy, development, and execution of broader industry engagement initiatives that strengthen GEDU's standing within the UAE's business and education ecosystem.

    It will drive impactful collaborations with local industries, regulatory bodies (e.g., KHDA), government agencies, alumni networks, and affiliate universities to increase student employability, foster innovation, and secure mutually beneficial partnerships through MoUs, sponsorships, and placement opportunities.

    Ability to represent the institution at national forums and shape collaborative agendas that respond to UAE employment and innovation goals.

    Qualifications
