Copywriter - Native Arabic

About the role

Deliveroo is looking for a native Arabic copywriter to help shape clear, persuasive, and locally relevant communication for the UAE and Kuwait. The role sits in a fast-moving, collaborative environment where work often needs to be turned around quickly, and where strong Arabic-first writing is central to success.

The company is building a leading food platform powered by technology and growth, and this position supports marketing and brand communication across multiple channels.

What you will do

• Review creative briefs and turn them into Arabic-first campaign concepts.
• Partner with brand and marketing teams to produce Arabic copy and captions for campaigns.
• Support CRM and other owned channels with Arabic-first messaging.
• Translate content between English and Arabic when needed, while keeping Arabic copywriting as the core strength of the role.
• Research audiences and customer needs in the UAE and Kuwait, and adapt content to the appropriate local Khaliji dialect rather than relying only on formal Arabic.
• Draft original Arabic copy and edit marketing and communications materials.
• Share concepts and final copy with internal stakeholders for review.
• Refine drafts based on feedback and maintain consistency with brand voice.

What you need

• 2 to 3 years of professional Arabic copywriting experience with a strong portfolio.
• Excellent writing and research ability.
• Confidence working alone or with a team while meeting deadlines.
• Strong organisation and multitasking skills.
• A bachelor’s degree or equivalent in journalism, Arabic, communications, literature, or a related field is preferred.
• Proofreading experience and familiarity with style guides are preferred.
• Experience using content management systems is preferred.
• A strong eye for detail and an appreciation for good design are preferred.

Benefits

• 25 days of annual leave.
• Work visa support.
• Medical insurance.
• Annual return home flight tickets.
• Free Deliveroo Plus, including free delivery and access to special offers.
• Maternity and paternity benefits.
• Year-end celebrations and regular social events.
• A lively and enjoyable team environment.
