Art Director / Designer — Bilingual Arabic/English

We are looking for an Art Director / Designer to lead the creation and regional adaptation of digital and marketing assets for the MENA market, working within an established global brand and design system for a major global brand.

Responsibilities

• Adapt global creative, templates, and design assets for MENA audiences across Arabic and English
• Convert LTR layouts into considered RTL designs — appropriate content flow, typography, hierarchy, and composition, not simple mirroring
• Apply established brand guidelines and design systems consistently across regional assets
• Work with modular layouts that flex across formats, messages, and content requirements
• Adapt layouts to handle differences between Arabic and English copy without compromising design integrity
• Create light-touch original design and regional adaptations within the established global visual language
• Produce and adapt assets including eGuides and other digital and marketing collateral
• Prepare accurate, production-ready assets across required formats and platforms
• Review Arabic and English assets for consistency and quality before final delivery
• Work directly with client stakeholders and the regional project/account team on briefs, feedback, and deadlines
• Deliver efficiently during high-volume and peak production periods

Requirements

• 3–5+ years of professional design experience in a creative agency, digital agency, or in-house design team
• Native/fluent Arabic; ideally comfortable in English
• Strong understanding of Arabic typography, RTL design, and bilingual layout principles
• Proven experience adapting English/LTR creative into Arabic/RTL formats
• Strong visual design fundamentals: typography, composition, hierarchy, grids, spacing
• Experience working within established brand guidelines, templates, and design systems
• Strong working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite and Figma; comfortable in Canva
• Good understanding of MENA cultural nuances and appropriate regional creative choices
• Strong attention to detail across bilingual layouts; able to manage multiple deliverables independently

Terms

• Salary: AED 12,000 - AED 15,000/month
• Location: Dubai
• Duration: 12 months contract

Pay: AED12,000.00 - AED15,000.00 per month

Application Question(s):

• Are you a native/fluent Arabic speaker?
• What is your notice period / earliest joining date?
• Share your portfolio link, highlighting Arabic/RTL adaptation work (required — applications without a portfolio will not be considered).
• Describe a project where you adapted an English/LTR design system into Arabic/RTL: what changed beyond mirroring (typography, hierarchy, composition)?
• Which tools do you use daily — and what is your proficiency in Figma, Adobe CS, and Canva?
