Full role details
What the job actually is
Most messages are the same six questions: where are you, when do you open, is it halal, what is in it, do you deliver, and something went wrong with my order. Answering those quickly and in the brand voice, hundreds of times, is the work. If you are looking for a creative role, this is not it.
The direct message is where a brand is least protected. There is no editor and no second draft, and the voice has to hold anyway.
Reports to the Co-founder and CMO, with no agency layer.
Scope
- Reply to direct messages and comments in Arabic and English, within agreed hours.
- Hold the brand voice in unedited real time, including when the message is rude.
- Flag recurring questions so they can be answered publicly instead of one at a time.
- Escalate complaints, and anything about allergens, halal or food safety, rather than answering from memory.
Required
- Native Arabic and confident written English.
- Proven community management experience, with accounts you can point to.
- Judgement about when not to answer and when to escalate. Silence is sometimes correct.
- Discipline on allergens. Our menu contains walnut, pistachio and dairy. Those questions are answered from an approved list, never improvised, and a guest with an allergy is directed to the counter.
- Reliability inside the agreed response window, including evenings and weekends, which is when a food brand is busiest.
Useful
- Food and beverage or hospitality work.
- Based in the UAE, so local context is first-hand.
- Experience with a brand before it opened, when every message is a first impression.
Not required
- Shooting, editing or content planning. That work sits with a separate role, which may later be combined with this one.
- Unpaid test work. We review portfolios instead.
