The RoleThis is a hands-on role combining social media strategy, storytelling, content creation and production. You will own the organic social presence across our brands: developing the narrative, content pillars and calendar while also personally creating much of the content. The role goes well beyond documenting school activities. We want someone who can understand why something happening inside a classroom matters and turn it into a story that helps parents understand what makes Masterminds different. Key responsibilities include:Develop and execute the organic social media strategy across our UAE and US brandsBuild clear content pillars, recurring series and campaigns rather than disconnected postsMaintain a consistent brand narrative while adapting content for different age groups and marketsShoot and edit high-quality video and photographyProduce compelling Reels, short-form video and YouTube ShortsWrite excellent English copy and captionsIdentify strong stories from classrooms, teachers, curriculum, students and school lifeWork with academic teams to understand the educational thinking behind the contentManage the content calendar and maintain consistent outputMonitor community engagement and respond appropriatelyTrack reach, engagement, follower growth and qualified organic enquiriesUse performance data and audience feedback to continuously improve the content strategyMaintain the premium visual identity and tone of the Masterminds brand Channel PrioritiesPrimaryInstagramFacebookSupportingLinkedInYouTube ShortsSecondary / exploratoryTikTokSnapchatX / TwitterOther emerging platforms where there is a clear strategic opportunity Who We Are Looking For3+ years of relevant social media and content creation experience, with meaningful ownership of both strategy and executionStrong portfolio demonstrating video, photography, copywriting and social storytellingProven experience growing organic engagement for a brandStrong short-form video shooting and editing capabilityExcellent professional English and strong copywriting skillsStrong understanding of Instagram/FacebookAbility to work independently across multiple brands and prioritiesStrong visual judgment and understanding of premium brand positioningAbility to understand a complex offering and translate it into clear, compelling content Experience in premium education, particularly private/international schools, or boarding schools, would be highly desirable. Comfort with AI tools is welcome, but AI should support rather than drive the creative process. We are looking for authentic, human-centered storytelling rooted in real classrooms, real educators and real school experiences, not content that feels generic or AI-generated. We would also consider exceptional candidates from luxury hospitality, premium consumer brands, private members’ clubs or strong agency backgrounds. However, strong lifestyle content alone is not sufficient. The successful candidate needs to be intellectually curious enough to understand Masterminds’ educational philosophy, curriculum and differentiators and communicate them accurately and compellingly to parents. Additional language capability, particularly French or Russian, would be an advantage but is not required. This is primarily an on-site Dubai role. Dubai-based candidates are preferred, although relocation may be considered for an exceptional candidate.
