This is a strategic and production role at a brand in active transformation. It suits an experienced journalist or content creator who is equally comfortable filing a restaurant review, producing a TikTok, and writing a 1500-word feature – and who understands the difference between all three.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

This is What’s On‘s most senior Abu Dhabi editorial role. The Features Editor owns the Abu Dhabi content calendar – planning, commissioning, writing, and publishing across the website, social channels, and the monthly print magazine.

The role produces at volume across owned channels while also writing the long-form, carefully researched features that define the brand’s editorial authority in the capital.

WHAT YOU WILL RESPONSIBLE FOR:

Editorial and digital:

• Own the Abu Dhabi content calendar across digital, social, and print.

• Write long-form features on the Abu Dhabi lifestyle, culture, and hospitality landscape for the monthly magazine.
• Consistenly break exclusive or first-to-market stories.
• Contribute to series formats.

Social and video:

• Produce a minimum of 16 social posts per month – carousels and tiles planned to the content calendar.
• Produce a minimum of 8 short-form social videos per month for TikTok and Instagram Reels.
• All social content is distinct from article amplification posts – these are original, platform-native formats.
• Maintain daily Stories across Instagram and Facebook.
• Monitor search trends and audience data to inform both SEO and social content decisions.
• Build and maintain Abu Dhabi PR and industry relationships to secure access and exclusives.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

Experience: 3-5 years in digital publishing, features writing, or lifestyle journalism. UAE experience is preferred. Abu Dhabi-specific knowledge is a genuine advantage.

SEO: Applied SEO knowledge – writing headlines for search, keyword strategy, content structure, meta data. Not just awareness of what SEO is.
