e& (Etisalat) Careers UAE 2026 | Jobs, Salaries & How to Apply

Last updated: May 2026 Author: CareerHubDubai Editorial Team Location: Dubai, UAE Category: Technology & Telecoms

Verified data point: e& (formerly Etisalat) serves over 160 million customers across 16 countries and reported revenues of AED 52.4 billion in 2023, according to the e& Annual Report 2023. The group employs more than 60,000 people globally, with the UAE remaining its largest single market.

If you’ve been searching for “Etisalat careers UAE” and landing on pages that still use the old brand name without explaining what changed — this guide is for you. e& rebranded from Etisalat in 2022, but the careers portal, employment contracts, and most job listings still carry both names interchangeably. Knowing the difference between the parent group, its telecom arm, and its subsidiaries like Help AG and e& enterprise is the first thing that separates candidates who apply in the right place from those who miss roles entirely.

Understanding the e& Group Structure

e& is not a single employer — it is a holding group with distinct subsidiaries that each hire independently. Applying to the wrong entity is one of the most common mistakes UAE candidates make. Here is how the group breaks down:

e& UAE (Etisalat by e&)

The core telecom operation serving consumer, SME, and enterprise customers in the UAE. Most network, sales, and customer experience roles sit here.

Telecom · UAE

e& enterprise

B2B technology and managed services arm. Cloud, IoT, AI, and digital transformation roles for enterprise clients across the region.

Enterprise Tech · UAE & Region

Help AG

e&’s cybersecurity subsidiary. Recruits independently for SOC, OT security, security architecture, and professional services roles.

Cybersecurity · UAE

e& life

Consumer fintech and digital lifestyle platform. Roles in product, UX, digital marketing, and payments sit under this entity.

Fintech · Consumer

e& capital

Investment and venture capital arm. Finance, M&A, and portfolio management roles — limited volume but high seniority.

Finance · Investment

International Operations

Subsidiaries across Egypt, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and 12 other markets. Roles are posted locally in each country and are separate from UAE hiring.

Global · 16 Countries

What the e& rebrand actually means for your application: Etisalat officially became e& in February 2022. The careers portal at careers.etisalat.ae continues to operate under the old domain. Employment contracts in the UAE are still issued under Emirates Telecommunications Group Company PJSC — the legal entity name has not changed. When you see job listings for “Etisalat” and “e&” on LinkedIn or Bayt.com, they refer to the same employer. Always apply through the official careers portal and not through third-party aggregators, which frequently carry outdated or duplicate listings.

Emiratisation at e&: As a UAE PJSC (public joint stock company) with the UAE government as a significant shareholder, e& is subject to Emiratisation targets under MOHRE’s Nafis programme. UAE Nationals applying for roles flagged as Emiratisation-targeted are assessed on a separate track and often see faster response times. The UAE National Graduate Programme is a dedicated pipeline — Emirati candidates should filter the careers portal by “UAE National” to surface these roles. Roles in finance, corporate affairs, and regulatory functions are particularly active on this track.

How to Apply — Step by Step

Visit the Official Portal

Go to careers.etisalat.ae — this remains the active careers site despite the e& rebrand.

Identify the Right Entity

Check whether the role is under e& UAE, e& enterprise, or a subsidiary like Help AG — each hires on separate tracks.

Filter by Category

Use the portal’s filters to narrow by department, location, and — if you are a UAE National — Emiratisation designation.

Create a Profile

Register on the portal and complete your profile fully before applying. Incomplete profiles are screened out at the first stage.

Apply Directly

Submit through the portal only. Do not apply via LinkedIn Easy Apply or third-party job boards — applications must go through the official system.

⚡ Insider Detail — What Most Candidates Miss

Help AG recruits separately from the main e& careers portal. If you are targeting cybersecurity roles — SOC Lead, OT Security Engineer, Security Solution Architect — searching only on careers.etisalat.ae will cause you to miss a significant portion of active openings. Help AG posts on its own website and LinkedIn page independently. Candidates who treat e& cybersecurity as a single hiring funnel, and only apply through one portal, are competing for a fraction of the available roles. Check both sources every time you run a job search in this space.
