Careers

Aljaweea is a daily bilingual news publication covering aviation and aerospace, published in English and Arabic from Kuwait. We are a small, founder-led team building the publication the MENA region’s aerospace sector reaches for first. If that is the kind of work you want to do, we would like to hear from you.

This is honest work at an early stage. We are not a large newsroom with a deep bench and a long history. We are building one — deliberately, to professional standard, in two languages — and the people who join now shape what it becomes.

Why work at Aljaweea

The Middle East has become central to global aviation, yet much of the serious reporting on its aerospace sector is written from elsewhere, for elsewhere, and arrives late or in one language only. Aljaweea exists to close that gap from within the region. That mission gives the work here a clear purpose, and it sets a high bar for the people who carry it.

How we work matters as much as what we publish. Our culture is deliberately shaped, and a few of its commitments shape daily life here:

• We are open by default. Decisions, data, and mistakes are shared with context, not hoarded. You will always know why a call was made.
• We own outcomes, not just tasks. People here take full responsibility for their work, surface problems early, and finish what they start with nothing left hanging.
• We ask the hard questions. Courageous inquiry is expected, not tolerated. We would rather sit with the discomfort of clarity than the comfort of ambiguity.
• We take disciplined pride in the craft. Quality that serves the reader, delivered on a real schedule — not perfection chased for its own sake.
• We get better together. Feedback here is an act of service, given with precision and received with grace. No one is expected to have all the answers.

We are a young company, so we will be plain about the trade-offs: the team is lean, the pace is brisk, and roles carry real breadth. In return you get genuine ownership, visible impact and a seat at the table while the publication is still being shaped.

What we look for

We hire for craft and for character in equal measure. The specifics vary by role, but a few things hold across the team:

We welcome applicants from every background and at every career stage, from seasoned professionals to those early in their careers looking to grow.
