With a passion for pushing boundaries, they deliver unparalleled quality in every project. Join their team as they shape Dubai's future with vision and dedication.

    About the role:

    They are looking for additional legal support to add experience to their team, someone who can take the lead with the contracting process and who can manage the real estate development process from A to Z and knows what and who should be involved when it comes to:

    • SPA drafting / signing / attesting

Arabic speaking skills would be strongly beneficial to deal with local authorities and courts. A good candidate would have experience in similar companies, who has worked with the DIFC authorities, who has some corporate knowledge of structure and governance and can support our agreements. They need the experience necessary to scale with the business and guide from the current situation to where we intend to be in several years.

    Requirements:

    • UAE / GCC experience, in small to medium sized companies.
    • Real estate, construction, or broker background.
    • Luxury and high-cost real estate market knowledge.
    • Very good, presentable English and Arabic speaking.
