Projects Coordinator – UAE National

Job purpose

The Projects Coordinator supports the Chief of Staff in the day-to-day coordination and follow-up of CEO Office projects across the company: commercial and product launches, partnership initiatives, events, logistics, and internal workstreams. The role keeps project plans, trackers, and action lists current, chases follow-ups with the teams involved, and makes sure nothing agreed in the CEO Office slips between decision and execution.

The role-holder also provides operational support to the Chief of Staff and, when required, to the CEO: meeting preparation, minutes, logistics, documentation, and follow-through on delegated tasks. It is a hands-on, execution-focused position for a candidate with two to three years of experience who is organised, reliable, and comfortable working with all functions of the business. The role offers direct exposure to how the company is run and is a natural entry point into project management and CEO Office career paths at HAYAH.
