Native Gulf Arabic (Khaleeji) Copywriter & Localization Expert
Worldwide
We run an Instagram analytics tool and we're entering Gulf markets (starting with Kuwait) with paid acquisition on Meta. We need a native from the Gulf to make our Arabic sound authentic — MSA for the website, Khaleeji dialect for the ad creatives. Two parts to this role: Website proofreading & polish — review our Arabic site copy in clean, natural Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), fix mistranslations and awkward phrasing. Ad creatives (text only) — this is the key part: review, fix and help write ad copy, hooks, captions and short UGC-style video scripts in authentic Gulf/Khaleeji dialect. Must sound like a real local — correct slang, expressions and tone for the Gulf audience. You must: Be a native Gulf Arabic speaker (Kuwait, Saudi, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman) — non-negotiable Master the difference between MSA (formal/site) and Khaleeji dialect (creatives) Know current Gulf slang, expressions and social-media tone Understand localization vs literal translation Nice to have: Experience with Meta / Instagram ads or DTC/SaaS Short-form video script experience Details: Remote, ongoing / part-time, flexible hours. Budget: [your rate]. To apply (important): Reply in Arabic — and tell us which Gulf country you're from Give us one example: take a plain MSA sentence and rewrite it the way a young person from your country would actually say it on Instagram Optional: rewrite this line naturally: "[paste one real line here]" Applications from non-Gulf natives will be ignored.
