Ras Al Khaimah is undergoing a powerful transformation. With over AED 4 billion in tourism and real estate investments announced in 2023, and RAK’s real GDP growing by 5.4% last year, the emirate is actively closing the gap with its peers.

As the Head of Real Estate Policies and Studies, you will be a central figure in aligning the emirate’s land and property regulations with its ambitious growth strategy. From collaborating with developers to crafting legal studies and setting standards, your work will shape how real estate is governed and grown in RAK for the next decade.

• Draft recommendations on real estate regulations and provide legal opinions on key strategic and operational matters.
• Ensure that procedures and decisions are fully aligned with legal frameworks and compliant with local legislation.
• Engage with developers, courts, and data authorities to foster investment and real estate sector growth.

• 7+ years of experience, including at least 2 years in a specialized real estate or policy setting
• Strong understanding of real estate legal frameworks and municipal governance
• Proven ability to lead strategic reviews, write legal opinions, and collaborate across government and private sectors
