Digital Marketing Intern

About Smith & Abdullah:

Delivery centres in Dubai and overseas support large implementation programs. Consultants are staffed across industries early on, then specialise after a few years. Every new hire gets a mentor outside their reporting line.

The internship:

We are a small team, so the intern does real work. Expect spreadsheets, campaign setups and a lot of testing. Remote position. Most of the team is in Dubai, but nobody is required to come in. We do not have many meetings. Most updates happen in writing. Strong written English is important, since much of our work is async.

Day to day:

Check that tracking pixels and conversion events fire correctly using Tag Assistant. Write ad copy variations and track which headlines get better click-through rates. Build email newsletters in Mailchimp or Brevo and segment the contact list by user activity. Prepare simple creatives in Canva for ad tests, following the brand guidelines. Update landing pages on WordPress or Webflow, including text, images and form fields.

What we're looking for:

Eligible to work in the UAE. Available for the full internship period. Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2028. Own laptop and reliable internet. A second screen helps but is not required. Available 25 to 30 hours a week for at least 3 months. Comfortable with Google Sheets or MS Excel: filters, SUM, simple pivot tables.

Preferred:

Knowledge of Shopify or WooCommerce stores. HubSpot Inbound Marketing or Email Marketing certificate.

What you'll learn:

Reading GA4 and building a weekly report that a founder will actually read. How paid campaigns are set up, budgeted and optimised, with real spend behind them. Practical exposure to 6 to 8 marketing tools used by most startups.

Stipend: AED 4,800 - AED 5,100 monthly
