• Detail is important, we’re part of a big corporation and so you’ll be putting together contracts, MOU’s and ensuring that all our paperwork is completed for each promotion and activity.
• On ground events are a huge part of what we do, working with advertisers who want our V Team to host events and roadshows on-ground, through to the marketing of the biggest hit music festival, Virgin Radio RedFestDXB.

We’re the best at putting on events, concerts and on-ground activations, and we want someone who can do it even better. Come and thrive in a dynamic, supportive environment where you’ll be working long hours with irregular time off, but doing what you love, working on music events, product launches and promotions. Every day at ARN is different, but every day is rewarding. Come and join the Virgin Radio Dubai team!
