Project & Operations Assistant (Short-term Rental)

We are launching a work-friendly short-term rental concept in Dubai, designed specifically for digital nomads, founders, and remote professionals who travel to work — not just vacation.

The idea is simple but underserved: apartments with proper workspaces, high-quality desks and chairs, monitors, coffee machines, and everything needed to work productively while traveling.

The first apartment is ready and licensed. The goal is to scale to 5–8 apartments in Dubai, then expand to other locations and eventually build a standalone booking service. You will work directly with the founder and help turn the project from “ready on paper” into a live, running business.
