Senior Public Relations Officer

Role Overview

We are seeking a detail-oriented and seasoned Public Relations Manager to oversee employee relations, government compliance, and operational liaison tasks across our various entities. This position focuses on administrative and compliance functions rather than marketing or client engagement, suitable for someone skilled in navigating ministries, typing centres, and free zone authority portals.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the entire visa and labor lifecycle, including onboarding, renewals, and cancellations for employees in both Mainland and Free Zone entities.
• Take full responsibility for trade license renewals of all companies within the group, ensuring timely processing with no delays or expired documents.
• Collaborate with regional offices to maintain consistent operations and promptly communicate updates from governmental bodies such as the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE), Ministry of Labour, and free zone authorities.
• Administer daily processes including medical fitness applications, Emirates ID submissions, and coordinate petty cash reconciliations weekly with the Finance team.
• Provide expert guidance on UAE labor laws to account managers and internal stakeholders, serving as the primary resource for labor-related inquiries.
• Exhibit strong independent work management skills and maintain composure under pressure and deadlines.

Required Qualifications

• In-depth understanding of UAE labor laws and regulations, especially related to visas, employee onboarding, and compliance in Mainland and Free Zone jurisdictions.
• Experience managing trade license renewals and government relations across multiple entities.
• Ability to operate autonomously, managing multiple deadlines efficiently without supervision.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to coordinate communication between multiple teams and regulatory authorities.
