About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered how you might thrive at the intersection of people and opportunity? As a Sales Executive at Al Riyadah Facility Management Services in Sharjah, you’ll be on the frontlines of growth, driving meaningful partnerships and making a real impact on the company’s success. If you love the thrill of the chase (the sales chase, that is) and believe in building lasting client relationships, this role could feel less like a job—and more like your calling.
About Al Riyadah Facility Management Services
We’re not your typical facilities management company—we like to think of ourselves as a team of go-getters who care just as much about our clients as we do about each other. At Al Riyadah, growth is more than a buzzword: it’s woven into everyday life, whether it’s trying smarter sales tactics, sharing a laugh in the break room, or rolling up our sleeves on a new project. You’ll find a supportive group here, with Friday team lunches and plenty of encouragement to learn as you go. We value initiative, mutual respect, and the kind of teamwork where everyone’s voice can be heard. And yes, there’s always room for a little fun on the journey.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Hitting your daily, monthly, and quarterly sales targets—not just chasing numbers, but celebrating wins as a team.
- Proactively generating new business leads, using a mix of cold calling, in-person visits, and following up on quality referrals.
- Building meaningful relationships with clients—think ongoing collaboration, not just transactions.
- Listening to potential clients’ facility needs and matching them with just the right solutions from our suite of services.
- Keeping detailed records of sales activities so the whole team stays in sync (we promise, we keep the paperwork straightforward).
- Attending industry events in the Sharjah area to keep Al Riyadah top of mind…and to expand your own network.
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets, ideally in facilities management, property services, or a related sector.
- Confident communicator—comfortable reaching out cold or stepping into a room of new faces.
- Strong organizational skills (aka: you don’t let the little things slip).
- Ability to travel within Sharjah and surrounding areas for client appointments.
- Fluency in English; Arabic is a plus.
Nice-to-Haves:
- Familiarity with CRM tools (even better if you have suggestions for improving ours!).
- Local industry connections that might give you a head start.
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive base salary plus uncapped commission—your ambition is rewarded here.
- Supportive team environment, where feedback is two-way, and wins are shared.
