Senior Marketing Executive

About the Role

Savills Middle East is seeking a Senior Marketing Executive to support the growth of its business and brand in Saudi Arabia. This full-time role is based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, within the KAFD office. The successful candidate will serve as a key link between the Saudi business and Savills’ regional and global marketing teams, translating broader marketing strategies into locally relevant activities and ensuring effective information flow between teams. The position requires 2-5 years of experience.

Role Overview and Responsibilities

This is a broad and hands-on marketing role with a strong focus on local relationships, Arabic-language communications, PR, events, networking, content, and team coordination. The Senior Marketing Executive will operate independently, representing the Savills marketing team locally, while also coordinating detailed activities. Responsibilities include:

• Acting as the primary day-to-day marketing contact for the Savills KSA business.
• Coordinating with regional and global marketing teams to ensure KSA requirements are understood and delivered.
• Maintaining visibility across current and upcoming marketing activities, deadlines, and opportunities.
• Proactively gathering information from the business for marketing use.
• Coordinating the development and review of Arabic-language marketing materials, ensuring accuracy and cultural relevance.
• Supporting the development of Savills’ profile within the Saudi media and building relationships with relevant journalists.
• Coordinating the development and maintenance of KSA marketing and sales materials.
• Supporting the development and maintenance of Savills’ KSA marketing database and client communication programs.
• Maintaining a calendar of relevant industry events and identifying networking opportunities.
• Coordinating Savills-hosted events and supporting sponsorship opportunities.
• Supporting the delivery of a consistent Saudi-focused content program and coordinating contributions from local subject-matter experts.
• Coordinating Saudi-focused organic social media activity, particularly on LinkedIn.
• Maintaining oversight of KSA website content and coordinating updates to local service pages and profiles.

Stakeholder Management

This role involves working with a wide range of stakeholders and requires confidence in building relationships and following through on activities. The successful candidate will proactively approach stakeholders, gather information, follow up on outstanding actions, and maintain momentum without constant direction. Key stakeholders include Savills KSA leadership, local service-line heads, regional and global marketing teams, research teams, PR agencies, and external suppliers.

Candidate Profile

We are looking for a candidate who combines strong local knowledge and communication skills with a practical, hands-on approach. The ideal candidate will possess:

• Confidence in working independently and taking initiative.
• Willingness to engage in both high-level coordination and hands-on execution.
• Good judgment and the ability to recognize when escalation or specialist support is required.
• Experience within real estate, professional services, B2B marketing, or another relationship-led sector is advantageous.

Defining Success in This Role

Success in this position is defined by a stronger, more connected, and more visible marketing presence for Savills in Saudi Arabia. This includes early identification of local market opportunities, developing relationships with media and industry organizations, effective coordination of events and networking activities, and genuinely localized Arabic content. It also involves ensuring important mandates, transactions, and market activities are captured and communicated, and that local teams receive necessary collateral and marketing support. Effective communication between the KSA business and Savills’ regional and global marketing teams, with clear ownership and consistent follow-through, is also a key measure of success.
