About the PRO Service Line

Our Public Relations Officer (PRO) Service Line helps businesses handle all government-related tasks in the UAE. This includes visa applications, labor permits, trade license renewals, and other official paperwork. We work closely with government departments to make sure everything is done correctly and on time. Our goal is to save companies time, avoid fines, and ensure they follow all legal rules.

As a PRO some of your responsibilities will include:

Documentation & Compliance

Public Relations & Representation

• Represent the company in front of ministries, government bodies, embassies, and external authorities.
• Stay updated on changes in laws and policies related to labor, immigration, and business operations.
• Provide guidance to employees on PRO matters (e.g., visa renewals, cancellations, and related queries).

Reporting & Coordination

• Maintain a regular status report on visa processes, renewals, and documentation deadlines.
• Coordinate with internal HR/admin teams and external typing centers or PRO service agencies when needed.
• Handle corporate bank paperwork or police station visits if required.

Think you’ve got what it takes to be an Associate? Like the color purple? Great. Here’s a few more boxes we’re also hoping you can tick:

• Maintain proper documentation related to PRO activities, including passport copies, visa records, and expiry tracking.
• Prepare official letters and submissions to government departments when required.
• Ensure compliance with all legal requirements, regulations, and timelines set by local authorities.
• Comfortable using Microsoft Office
• Strong written and spoken English. Arabic speaking is advantageous
• Willingness and ability to work additional hours, as needed, and travel to various client sites.

At Grant Thornton we’re focused on making a difference in the lives of our clients, our colleagues, and our communities. That’s our purpose. Or, as we like to say, our purple.
