About MAASQ

MAASQ is a boutique luxury marketing company built differently. We believe exceptional work comes from exceptional people, not oversized teams. Revenue-driven and commercially focused, we prioritise quality over volume, outcomes over output, and business impact over activity; delivering strategy, branding, content, social media, and production designed to drive measurable growth. We are building a new kind of marketing company where creativity drives meaningful business outcomes, combining exceptional talent, strategic thinking, technology, and creative execution to build brands people recognise and experiences they remember.

The Role

We are looking for a commercially driven Business Development Manager to lead new business acquisition and revenue growth for MAASQ.

This is a hands-on sales role focused on generating leads, building relationships, creating new business opportunities and converting qualified prospects into long-term clients.

You will take ownership of the complete sales cycle — from prospecting and pitching through negotiation, closing, contracting and commercial follow-up — while working closely with the Managing Director and internal teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Generate and qualify new leads through proactive outreach, outcalls, networking, referrals, partnerships and market research.
• Drive client acquisition from initial prospecting through to successful conversion and onboarding.
• Build and maintain a strong pipeline of qualified prospective clients.
• Identify and develop strategic partnerships, collaborations and referral opportunities that generate new business for MAASQ.
• Conduct sales meetings, discovery calls, outcalls, presentations and pitches with prospective clients.
• Understand prospective clients' businesses, challenges, marketing requirements and commercial objectives.
• Present and sell MAASQ's services across strategy, branding, social media, content, creative production, performance marketing, SEO and web.
• Prepare and coordinate proposals, quotations and commercial recommendations, ensuring consistent and timely follow-ups through to closure.
• Manage the complete sales cycle from prospecting and qualification through proposal, negotiation and closing.
• Lead commercial negotiations across pricing, scope and contractual terms while protecting MAASQ's positioning and profitability.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with prospects, clients, partners, founders and key decision-makers.
• Work towards defined monthly and quarterly sales and revenue targets, with performance-based commission linked to successful business generation.
• Coordinate contracts and invoicing for successfully closed business with the relevant internal teams.
• Monitor contract status, invoice issuance, payment schedules and outstanding client payments, ensuring timely follow-up and escalation where required.
• Maintain accurate CRM records, pipeline stages, sales activity, client communications and follow-ups.
• Track sales performance, conversion rates, revenue forecasts and other relevant KPIs.
• Identify cross-selling and upselling opportunities across existing and prospective clients.
• Represent MAASQ at networking events, industry events, meetings and relevant business opportunities.
• Provide market, competitor and client insights to support MAASQ's commercial growth.

Requirements

• 2–4 years of experience in sales, business development, client acquisition or a related commercial role.
• Experience within a marketing, advertising, creative, digital, media or related industry is preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to generate leads and convert opportunities into business.
• Strong prospecting, relationship-building, negotiation and closing skills.
• Confident conducting client meetings, presentations, pitches and outcalls.
• Comfortable with cold outreach and proactively creating new opportunities.
• Commercially minded with a strong understanding of revenue, pricing and profitability.
• Excellent communication, presentation and interpersonal skills.
• Highly proactive, organised, persistent and target-driven.
• Ability to independently manage a sales pipeline and follow-up process.
• Familiarity with CRM, sales tracking and reporting tools.
• Understanding of the UAE business landscape is preferred.
• Existing UAE business relationships or networks would be an advantage.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who creates opportunities rather than waits for them.

You should be commercially sharp, confident in front of clients and comfortable taking ownership of the sales process, from opening the first conversation to negotiating and closing the deal.

You should be ambitious, persuasive, persistent and genuinely motivated by targets, commissions and revenue growth, while understanding that strong sales at MAASQ is about building long-term client relationships, not simply closing transactions.

Why Join MAASQ?

• Take ownership of new business acquisition for a growing marketing company.
• Work directly with the Managing Director and leadership team.
• Sell integrated marketing solutions across multiple disciplines.
• Play a direct role in building MAASQ's client portfolio and revenue.
• Fixed salary + performance-based commission rewarding successful business generation.
• Opportunity to grow into a senior commercial leadership role as MAASQ scales.
