What is “The Ultimate DAMAC Islander”?

It’s a brand ambassador role for DAMAC’s tropical lifestyle push. The person becomes a full-time resident-ambassador for eight island spots, living there and producing content for a global audience. The company frames it as a campaign to showcase serenity, connection and escape.

  • Full-time salaried position
  • Eight island destinations
  • Brand storytelling across social and a content series
  • Lifestyle themes: calm, elegance, discovery

The campaign turns one person into the face of DAMAC’s island living concept. The deliverable is ongoing content: social updates and a series that follows the journey from selection to life on the islands. Think travel diaries and short-form clips, all under DAMAC’s banner.

What the job includes

DAMAC says it will cover everything: flights, accommodation and on-ground experiences. The role is based on living the lifestyle and consistently sharing it. The company calls it “a living, breathing brand story.”

  • Salary paid by DAMAC
  • All expenses covered (travel, stays, experiences)
  • Content creation across DAMAC’s digital channels
  • Story arc documented from selection onwards

This is not a casual influencer trip. It’s employment with expectations: be present on the islands, keep content flowing, and represent the brand’s tone. If you’re planning gear, a tiny action cam helps. See our quick look at the Insta360 GO Ultra for hands-free clips and timelapses.

Who should apply

DAMAC calls for storytellers, explorers, content creators and “visionaries.” The job suits someone who is comfortable in front of a camera and can pack daily life into watchable posts. Applications are global.

  • Confident on camera and social platforms
  • Strong visual and narrative sense
  • Able to travel and live abroad for extended periods
  • Comfortable as a brand spokesperson

If that’s you, assemble a tight showreel. Keep it under two minutes, lead with your strongest clips, and show variety: talking to the camera, b-roll, edits, and one sequence that tells a clear story in 30 seconds.
