After leaving school, al-Muftah planned to study medicine at the Arabian Gulf University in Bahrain as the subject was not taught at Qatar University at the time.[1] However, following a last-minute change of heart, she decided to study public administration at Qatar University.[1] She was subsequently appointed as a teaching assistant at the university, and went on to obtain a master's degree and then a PhD at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom in 2004.[1][2]

After completing her doctorate, al-Muftah became an HR manager at Qatar University until 2008.[2] In 2020 she became an advisor to the Minister of Commerce, and in 2012 began working Qatar Rail,[1] later becoming an associate professor and Vice President of Financial and Administrative Affairs at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, where she lectures in the School of Public Administration and Development Economics.[1] She also became president of the Library and Information Society of Qatar.[1]

Al-Muftah was appointed to the Consultative Council in November 2017 by Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.[3]
