  • Track deliverables and action items to ensure timely follow-up and execution.
  • Serve as a connective point between the Abu Dhabi-based principals and global teams, ensuring efficient information flow and alignment.
  • Manage logistics for regional travel, events, and multi-stakeholder convenings.
  • Coordinate with global operations, finance, and partnerships teams on contracts, invoicing, and administrative processes.
  • Maintain organized systems for documentation, research, and reporting.
  • Assist with coordination of strategic partnerships, grantmaking, or co-investment initiatives across the GCC and global networks.
  • Conduct light background research on mission-aligned partners, development priorities, and philanthropic trends.
  • Represent the Sustainable Growth Division with professionalism and discretion in interactions with senior stakeholders.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree or training in international development, global health, sustainability, or business administration preferred.
  • 5+ years of experience supporting executives or programs within venture capital, philanthropy, development finance, or multilateral organizations.
  • Strong understanding of impact-driven initiatives, global development, or sustainability ecosystems.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English; Arabic proficiency is an advantage.
  • High degree of professionalism, discretion, and cross-cultural fluency.
  • Strong proficiency with Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, and digital collaboration tools (e.g., Slack, Zoom)

Attributes

  • Purpose-driven, globally minded, and intellectually curious.
  • Operates with integrity, judgment, and a solutions-oriented approach.
  • Thrives in fast-paced, multicultural environments with distributed teams.
  • Strong interpersonal and relationship-management skills.

Location Requirement
While 500 Global is a globally remote company, this position must be based in Abu Dhabi to provide direct support to the division’s leadership and coordinate regional partnerships and engagements.
