As Malt is growing and scaling we are looking for motivated individuals to join our Global Community team. The Community team's mission is to attract and activate most high value freelancers, engage them in the community, be responsible for their experience, and contribute to the growth of the company.
As a Community Builder UAE, your mission is to drive platform adoption and foster community loyalty by connecting with key local freelancers. You will act as the bridge between our global framework and the UAE market, executing engaging programs and locally relevant events to generate business value.
Key responsibilities ✨

- Event Execution & Local Content Creation: Organize and host practical, "must-attend" local events, workshops, and meetups. Draft compelling, hands-on content (newsletters, localized emails, articles) tailored to UAE freelancers to build local presence and keep Malt top-of-mind.
- Business Alignment & Sales Support: Collaborate directly with the local Sales team to understand immediate talent demands and execute targeted community initiatives that directly supply qualified profiles to meet business needs.
- Ecosystem Partnerships & Execution: Establish operational contacts with key local actors (Chambers of Commerce, freelance permit providers, co-working spaces) to drive freelancer acquisition. Track key activity metrics (attendance, registration, engagement) to consistently optimize local tactics.
- Global to Local Execution: Adapt and implement global community initiatives into the UAE market, ensuring global programs are seamlessly localized to drive strong regional engagement and adoption.
