The Role
Based in the buzzing city of Cairo, this international PR consultancy is searching for a hungry and ambitious practitioner to join as a General Manager.

This role has been created specifically to grow the business – so you will need to have a strong background in business development.

Requirements
You should be a natural networker and have the energy and attitude to go out and build business. The agency is already well established with a strong team and some great clients. The economy in Egypt is very different to many other parts of the world, particularly Western Europe or the Middle East – the slightly lower salary reflects this: the cost of living is extremely low and the salary quoted is a high salary for the country. Cairo is a great place to live – it’s a real city with a diverse population, great theatres, a great social life and an incredible energy.
