We are seeking a highly experienced, hands-on Public Relations Officer (PRO) to manage all HR-PRO and government-related activities for a large group of companies operating across Dubai Mainland and JAFZA. This is a predominantly office-based role requiring the candidate to personally handle online government portals, typing, submissions, approvals, and follow-ups, rather than delegating tasks to typists or runners.

The ideal candidate must have direct control of government system logins, strong technical knowledge of portals, and proven experience working with large corporate or group-company structures.

• 5–7 years of proven UAE PRO experience with strong exposure to Dubai Mainland and JAFZA.
• Mandatory experience supporting large organizations or group companies with 200–300+ employees.
• Proven ability to independently manage 10–30+ legal entities and high-volume transactions.
• Hands-on, office-based PRO who personally handles typing, submissions, and approvals (not field-only or delegating to typists).
• Active, working knowledge of and direct access to government portals and logins (MOHRE, GDRFA, ICP, Amer, Tasheel, JAFZA, DED, etc.).
• Strong understanding of UAE labor law, immigration, WPS, GPSSA, Nafis, and Emiratization requirements.
• Experience handling major corporate government accounts and complex compliance cases.
• Excellent organizational skills with high attention to detail and compliance accuracy.
• Ability to manage multiple deadlines independently in a fast-paced, high-responsibility environment.
• Fluent in English and Arabic (spoken and written), including Arabic typing and drafting official letters.

• Independently perform all typing, submissions, and processing through government portals including MOHRE, GDRFA, ICP, Amer, Tasheel, DED, JAFZA, DTCM, Dubai Municipality, RTA, GPSSA, Nafis, and other relevant authorities.
• Maintain and operate own authorized logins and credentials for all government systems.
• Prepare and submit applications, modifications, renewals, cancellations, and approvals without relying on external typists.

• Manage the full employee lifecycle: employment visas, renewals, cancellations, status changes, transfers, dependents, and business visas.
• Coordinate medical tests, Emirates ID biometrics, and Tawjeeh as required.
• Track visa, passport, EID, labor card, ILOE, and contract expiries; ensure timely renewals.
• Handle absconding cases, labor complaints, fines, and visa rejections.

• Independently administer 10–30+ legal entities across mainland and free zones.
• Manage establishment cards, quotas, trade license coordination, and regulatory renewals.
• Liaise with legal, HR, and finance teams to ensure entity-level compliance.
• Support onboarding and offboarding for large employee volumes.

• Manage WPS registrations and monthly salary compliance.
• Handle GPSSA registrations and pension-related submissions.
• Support Emiratization and Nafis portal compliance and reporting.

• Maintain professional relationships with officials at relevant government departments.
• Visit government offices only when strictly required for complex cases or escalations.
• Represent the company during inspections, audits, or official inquiries.

• Maintain audit-ready digital and physical records for all entities and employees.
• Provide regular reports on visa status, compliance risks, fines, and upcoming renewals.

Ensure timely top-up and management of government payment accounts.
