  • Contribute to business development and support new client growth opportunities.


What We’re Looking For

  • 12+ years of relevant experience in corporate communications, public relations, or strategic advisory—agency or in-house.
  • Proven track record leading multi-stakeholder campaigns and complex client mandates in the Gulf region.
  • Deep understanding of the media and sociopolitical landscape in Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East.
  • Bilingual fluency in Arabic and English is highly preferred.
  • Strong leadership skills and the ability to mentor and grow junior talent.
  • Confidence managing senior client relationships and delivering C-suite counsel.
  • A collaborative, solutions-oriented mindset with an entrepreneurial spirit.
  • Ability to work across borders with global Edelman teams and capabilities.

  • At Edelman, we’re trust builders. We partner with the world’s most respected companies, institutions, and brands to help them earn and keep trust through communications that spark action and inspire change.
  • We celebrate diverse perspectives and inclusive thinking. Our culture is anchored in curiosity, empathy, and creativity. You’ll join a global team that supports your growth, amplifies your strengths, and champions your ideas.
