Marketing Executive – Oman
Mediterranean Gateway for Business & Trade | Building Materials | Full-time | Muscat, Oman
About MGBT
Mediterranean Gateway for Business & Trade is an Oman-based company specializing in building materials. We supply the materials behind residential and commercial projects across the country, backed by showroom expertise, technical knowledge and dependable service. Our clients — contractors, consultants, developers and homeowners — expect quality delivered on time, and our brand has to reflect that standard on site, in the showroom and online.
We are now investing in a stronger, more consistent brand presence across our brands and showrooms, and this role sits at the centre of it.
About the role
We are looking for a hands-on, strategic Marketing Executive to own marketing end to end. You will set the company's marketing strategy and direction, then run it yourself: media buying, Google Ads, social media, content, brand, events and reporting.
This is a build-and-run role. You shape the plan, manage the budget, run the channels day to day, and you are measured on leads, showroom traffic and brand presence. You report directly to management and work closely with the sales and showroom teams.
What you'll do
Strategy and direction
- Set the annual marketing strategy and quarterly plans for the company and each brand, with clear objectives, budgets and KPIs
- Steer the marketing direction across all channels and make sure every campaign, post and ad serves the sales and brand goals
- Build the marketing calendar around launches, seasons, projects and showroom activity
Media buying and paid ads
- Plan, launch and optimise paid campaigns on Meta (Facebook, Instagram), TikTok, Snapchat and Google Ads (Search, Display, YouTube, Performance Max)
- Own targeting, bidding, creatives, A/B tests and landing pages to bring down cost per lead and raise lead quality
- Manage the monthly media budget and report spend against results
Social media and content
- Run the company's and brands' social media accounts: strategy, content calendar, posting, community management and growth
- Produce content in-house: photo and video shoots in the showroom and on site, reels, product posts, stories and short videos
- Write and brief bilingual copy (Arabic and English) for ads, posts, website and print
Brand, website and lead generation
- Guard brand identity and consistency across showrooms, site branding, vehicles, print and digital
- Manage the website, SEO, Google Business Profile and lead forms; pass qualified leads to sales and track their conversion
- Run WhatsApp, SMS and email campaigns to customers, contractors and consultants
Events, offline and partners
- Plan exhibitions, showroom events, product launches and outdoor advertising (billboards, LED screens, signage)
- Brief and manage agencies, designers, printers, photographers and influencers
Measurement and reporting
- Track performance in Meta Business Suite, Google Ads and Google Analytics (GA4) and present a monthly marketing report to management
- Monitor competitors, market trends and new product launches and feed insights into the plan
What we're looking for
- Minimum 5 years of marketing experience, including at least 3 years hands-on media buying on Meta, TikTok, Snapchat and Google Ads
- Proven experience setting and running a full marketing strategy and budget, not only executing campaigns
- Track record of campaigns with measurable results: leads, cost per lead, showroom traffic, sales growth
- Strong command of Meta Business Suite, Google Ads, Google Analytics (GA4), Google Tag Manager and Google Business Profile
- Confident with a camera: able to shoot and edit photos and short videos for social media (CapCut, Premiere or similar)
- Working knowledge of design tools (Canva, Photoshop or similar) and AI tools for content, ads and planning
- Experience with websites and SEO (WordPress or similar) and with WhatsApp, SMS and email marketing tools
- Fluent in Arabic and English, written and spoken, with strong copywriting in both
- Experience in building materials, interiors, furniture or retail, and knowledge of the Omani market (strongly preferred)
- Organised, self-driven and comfortable owning results with a small team and outside vendors
- Valid Omani driving licence
- Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business, Communications or a related field (preferred)
What we offer
- Competitive salary plus performance incentives tied to agreed KPIs
- Medical insurance and annual leave as per Omani labour law
- A dedicated marketing budget and the tools to run it
- Real ownership: you set the strategy and have the authority to drive it
- Product training across our full range and career growth in an expanding, multi-brand company
