Senior Marketing Manager (Global Brands)

**Read this part first** We are not hiring an assistant, a VA, or someone to sit and wait for a task list. We are hiring someone who takes 3 to 4 brands, puts their name on them, and makes them better than they were before they got there. If you need to be told what to do next, this will be painful for both of us. **Who we are** The Digital Blueprint is not a traditional agency. We are the outsourced marketing department for brands that are done with juniors, handoffs, and account managers who forward emails. Senior people only. No layers. Everyone owns something and everyone answers for it. **What you will own** * Full marketing strategy for 3 to 4 global brands across different markets and categories * The client relationship at a senior level. You will be sitting with founders and CEOs, not marketing coordinators * Social media end to end: positioning, content pillars, calendars, creative direction, hooks, community * Briefing and managing designers, editors, media buyers, and writers. Setting the standard and holding people to it * Oversight on paid performance. You do not need to build every campaign yourself, but you need to read a dashboard and know immediately what is broken and why * Monthly reporting with numbers and a point of view. Not a screenshot dump * Spotting problems before the client does You set the plan. You defend the plan. You answer for the numbers. **About AI, since we would rather be direct** We love AI. We use Claude, Claude Code, Codex, and a stack of other tools every single day. If AI makes you three times faster, brilliant. That is exactly what we want. What we do not want is AI slop. If your process is paste the brief into ChatGPT, copy the output, forward it to the client, you will not make it through month one. We can spot it in a paragraph. So can the client. Use AI as a power tool. Not as a substitute for thinking. Judgement, taste, and strategy are the actual job. The tools just get you there quicker. **You are probably a fit if** * You have 5\+ years in marketing with real ownership of brands, not just deliverables * You have opinions and you can defend them with reasoning, not vibes * You write well. Properly well. Copy is a weapon, not an afterthought * You are social media savvy at a level beyond scheduling posts. A social media manager background is a strong plus * You have hands\-on paid ads experience across Meta, Google, or TikTok. Big plus, not a dealbreaker * You are already using AI tools daily and can talk about how, not just that you do * You can manage people without being a bottleneck * You are comfortable being challenged and comfortable challenging back **You are not a fit if** * You need approval before every decision * You go quiet when something breaks * Your reporting is a list of what you did instead of what it produced * You think marketing is content calendars * Deadlines are aspirational to you **What you get** * Full ownership. No middle layer, no politics, no getting overruled by someone who has not read the brief * Direct access to founders who have over 19\+ years running marketing at a senior level. You will be building with them, not reporting into a layer that filters everything. * A team of senior specialists who are good at their jobs * Global brands and real budgets **How to apply** Send your CV plus a short note. Under 200 words. Tell us about one brand you think is getting it wrong right now, and what you would change in the first 30 days. Write it yourself. We will know. Skip the cover letter template. We do not read them. Pay: AED1\.00 \- AED2\.00 per month Experience: * Marketing management: 5 years (Preferred) Location: * Dubai (Preferred) Work Location: Hybrid remote in Dubai
