Getty Images is hiring an Assignment Editor to join the Editorial Entertainment team in Dubai. You’re deeply immersed in the UAE entertainment ecosystem, from celebrity culture and fashion to broadcast and influencer events. With your organizational finesse, you excel in orchestrating complex coverage under tight timelines. Your passion for storytelling, fluency in local dynamics, and ability to lead high-energy teams make you a standout candidate.

Your Next Challenge: - Drive Entertainment Coverage Across the Gulf: Strategically manage and assign entertainment content, stills and video, in the UAE and neighboring markets. - Plan & Execute Coverage: Produce and coordinate a roster of content creators for high-profile events - film premieres, concerts, festivals, fashion weeks, influencer activations, award shows. - Leverage Local Networks: Cultivate and nurture relationships with publicists, agencies, venue organizers, media groups, and entertainment clients to ensure seamless access and informed coverage. - Campaign and Storyline Development: Bring creative flair to scheduling coverage that aligns with regional content trends - working with regional stakeholders to identify compelling narratives. - Operational Leadership On-site: Lead the execution at events - from credentialing and logistics to managing crew flow and troubleshooting under pressure. - Collaborate with Global Teams: Liaise effectively with editorial producers, photo and video teams, and senior editors across the Getty Images network to align local coverage strategies with global goals. - Stay Ahead of Trends: Monitor and interpret regional entertainment movements and media behavior to optimize Getty’s content relevance and resonance. What You’ll Need: - Proven experience in entertainment content production within the UAE or GCC - managing editorial, event or lifestyle coverage. - Established relationships with key regional entertainment stakeholders - PRs, agencies, production houses, celebrity managers, venues, media platforms. - Demonstrable experience managing creatives (photographers, videographers, editors) and delivering content under tight deadlines. - Strong organizational and logistical management capabilities, especially in fast-paced, evolving settings. - Comfort with flexible working arrangements and willingness to travel as required across the region. - Fluent in Arabic and English with other regional language proficiency a plus. This is a hybrid role that combines remote work with on-site presence at events. Getty Images is an equal opportunity employer. We seek to hire based on merit, competence, performance, and business needs. #J-18808-Ljbffr
