Job description
We are looking for a Hunter, not an Administrator.
We are looking for an experienced Business Development Executive who knows how to identify opportunities, open doors, engage decision-makers, understand business challenges and sell digital marketing solutions that generate measurable business value.
This is a pure client acquisition and revenue-generation role.
The successful candidate will be expected to spend significant time in the field meeting business owners, decision-makers and senior management, developing relationships, generating opportunities, conducting consultations, presenting solutions and closing deals.
If your background is primarily in Customer Service, Marketing Coordination, Account Coordination, Administration or Back Office Operations, this role is NOT for you.
What You Will Be Selling
You should have a strong understanding of the digital marketing solutions typically required by SMEs and growing businesses, including:
- Digital Marketing
- Performance Marketing
- SEO
- Local SEO & Google Business Profile
- AI-driven marketing solutions
- Social Media Marketing
- Lead Generation
- Website Development
- Brand Positioning
- Digital Growth Strategies
- Customer Acquisition Solutions
- Integrated marketing solutions for SMEs and startups
You do not need to be a technical specialist.
However, you must understand what these solutions do, why a business needs them, how they create commercial value and how to position and sell them to a client.
Key Responsibilities:
- Identify and acquire new clients across the UAE
- Generate your own sales pipeline through field prospecting, networking, referrals and industry contacts
- Meet business owners, founders, CEOs, GMs and senior decision-makers
- Conduct consultative sales conversations to understand the client's business challenges
- Identify gaps in the client's current marketing and customer acquisition strategy
- Recommend appropriate digital growth solutions
- Prepare and deliver solution-based presentations
- Handle objections professionally and move prospects towards conversion
- Negotiate and close new business
- Build and maintain a strong prospect and client network
- Maintain accurate pipeline and activity records in the CRM
- Achieve monthly and quarterly revenue and acquisition targets
- Develop long-term commercial relationships rather than pursuing one-off transactions
- Continuously identify new sectors, businesses and market opportunities
Mandatory Requirements:
Please apply only if you meet ALL of the following:
- Minimum 5 years of UAE work experience
- Previous experience working for a Digital Marketing / Digital Solutions company
- Proven experience selling digital marketing solutions directly to clients
- Strong existing UAE business contacts and professional network
- Demonstrable track record in new client acquisition
- Experience in B2B sales and consultative selling
- Comfortable meeting prospects and clients face-to-face
- Willing and able to work extensively in the field
- Strong understanding of digital marketing and business growth solutions
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Strong presentation and negotiation abilities
- Good listening skills and the ability to ask intelligent discovery questions
- Professional appearance, confidence and a positive personality
- Strong commercial awareness and business acumen
- Target-driven, self-motivated and results-oriented
- Comfortable working independently without constant supervision
- Strong follow-up and pipeline management discipline
- Proficient with CRM systems, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, email and other sales tools
- Must hold a valid UAE residency / employment visa
- Visit visa holders will NOT be considered
The Candidate We Want:
We are looking for someone who thinks like a business growth professional, not someone who simply waits for leads to be assigned.
You should be:
A Hunter: You actively find opportunities rather than waiting for them.
A Consultant: You understand the client's problem before recommending a solution.
A Closer: You are comfortable asking for the business and moving opportunities towards a decision.
A Networker: You already understand how business is developed in the UAE and have relationships that can open doors.
A Listener: You ask questions, understand needs and do not simply deliver a sales pitch.
A Commercial Thinker: You understand that clients buy business outcomes, not just marketing activities.
Resilient: You can handle rejection, follow up consistently and continue building your pipeline.
Accountable: You take ownership of your targets, pipeline and results.
Ethical: You sell based on genuine client requirements and long-term value, not unrealistic promises.
This Is a Target-Based Position
This is a performance-driven sales position.
Your success will be measured by tangible commercial outcomes, including:
- New clients acquired
- Qualified opportunities generated
- Sales pipeline developed
- Proposals converted
- Revenue generated
- Monthly and quarterly target achievement
- Client quality and retention
If you are uncomfortable with sales targets, field meetings, prospecting or rejection, please do not apply.
Who Should NOT Apply
Please do not apply if your primary experience is in:
❌ Customer Service
❌ Marketing Coordinator
❌ Sales Coordinator
❌ Account Coordinator
❌ Administration
❌ Back-office operations
❌ Social Media Executive without sales experience
❌ Marketing Executive without client acquisition experience
❌ Telecalling / call-centre sales without B2B solution-selling experience
❌ Candidates without UAE experience
❌ Candidates without Digital Marketing company experience
❌ Candidates on a Visit Visa
This position requires proven, hands-on experience in selling marketing solutions and acquiring clients.
Male & Female Candidates Welcome
We encourage applications from both male and female professionals who meet the requirements and can demonstrate a strong track record in UAE business development and client acquisition.
Why Join Us?
You will have the opportunity to work in a growth-focused environment where business development, digital marketing, AI and strategic thinking come together.
The role offers significant scope for professionals who want to build a strong career in B2B client acquisition and business growth, while working with businesses across the UAE.
If you are a proven UAE-based Business Development professional who can open doors, understand business problems, sell solutions and close deals, we want to hear from you.
Apply only if you meet the mandatory requirements above.
Please include your UAE sales experience, digital marketing sales background, key sectors/industries covered and measurable sales achievements in your CV.
Pay: AED2,085.94 - AED5,400.52 per month
Work Location: In person
