Arabic Editorial Intern Dubai: Join The Finance 360’s Growing Newsroom Team

Who We Are The Finance 360 sits at the crossroads of Dubai’s bustling financial district, where we’ve built something special over the years. We’re not just another news site – we’re the go-to source for financial news that actually makes sense to people living and working across the Middle East and North Africa. If you’re considering a media career in the region, our complete guide to jobs in Dubai: opportunities, industries, and career growth breaks down the local job landscape. Our readers trust us because we speak their language, literally and figuratively.

The Opportunity Here’s the thing: we’re growing fast, and we need someone who gets excited about turning complex financial stories into compelling content that resonates with Arabic-speaking audiences. Not sure what to expect from the local market? Here’s why job hunting in UAE isn’t what you think. If you’re the type of person who reads financial news for fun and thinks “I could write this better,” we want to meet you.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing Let’s be honest about what this internship looks like day-to-day:

• You’ll be writing and editing news pieces in Arabic – sometimes under tight deadlines when markets are moving. New to the field? Check out how to get hired in Dubai without experience for practical tips.
• Translation work that goes way beyond Google Translate (we’re talking about capturing tone, context, and cultural nuances)
• Digging into stories before they break – following leads, fact-checking, and building our coverage pipeline
• Keeping your finger on the pulse of both Arabic and English financial media (yes, this means a lot of reading)
• Managing our Arabic social presence and website content (because that’s where our audience actually hangs out)
• Working alongside our editorial team during those hectic news days when everyone’s juggling multiple stories
• Jumping into whatever needs doing – from special investigative pieces to daily market updates
• Creating eye-catching visuals for our social channels (Instagram stories about stock market trends, anyone?)

What We’re Looking For You don’t need to be perfect, but you do need to bring:

• A degree you’re working on or just finished in Journalism, Communications, Finance, Economics, or something related
• Solid Arabic skills – we’re talking about being able to write a compelling news story, not just ordering coffee
• The ability to write clearly and edit ruthlessly (in both languages)
• Comfort with the usual suspects: Microsoft Office, design software, social media platforms
• The kind of personality that thrives when things get busy and deadlines are looming
• An obsession with getting details right (because one wrong number can tank a stock)

Bonus Points If You Have

• Any real experience with journalism, content creation, or design work (even if it was just freelancing for your university paper)
• Understanding of how Arabic journalism works in practice
• Knowledge about SEO and content management systems
