About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it’s like to take the reins in one of Dubai’s fastest-growing business hubs? As our new Sales & Marketing Executive, you’ll be right at the heart of Business Bay’s buzzing commercial scene — closing deals, building relationships, and shaping the way our clients see value. If you thrive on targets, love meeting new people, and have an insider’s knowledge of the UAE market, this could be your next big move.
About the Company
We’re a boutique recruitment consultancy with a passion for connecting exceptional talent to the right opportunities. Our team is a tight-knit group that celebrates every win (and yes, we may even have a friendly rivalry over who brings in the best snacks). We believe in the power of local expertise — and that real success comes from understanding people, not just numbers. Our office in Business Bay is a lively, collaborative space where ambition meets support, and where career growth isn’t just a buzzword, but a daily reality.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Building and nurturing relationships with prospective and existing clients across Dubai
- Developing creative sales strategies tailored to the local market (no cookie-cutter pitches here)
- Meeting — and crushing — monthly sales targets, with commissions to match your hustle
- Attending client meetings on-site across the UAE (you’ll never be chained to your desk)
- Conducting market research to spot new opportunities and stay one step ahead of competitors
- Coordinating with our recruitment team to ensure a seamless client experience
- Representing our brand at networking events and industry gatherings (bring your best handshake)
What You’ll Bring
- At least 2 years’ experience in sales and/or marketing within the UAE
- Deep understanding of the Dubai market and its unique business environment
- Energetic, outgoing personality with a drive to exceed targets
- Top-notch communication skills — both in-person and over the phone
- UAE driving license (preferred, but not a dealbreaker)
- Fluency in English (Arabic is a plus, but not required)
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive salary (AED 3,000) plus an uncapped commission structure
- Visa and medical insurance provided — focus on your goals, not the paperwork
- Modern office in Business Bay, with easy access to transport and great lunch spots
- Collaborative, supportive team that genuinely celebrates your wins
- Opportunities for career advancement and ongoing learning
- Flexibility to get out and meet clients — no two days are ever quite the same
We know the right environment can make all the difference. Here, you’ll find the support, energy, and opportunity you’ve been looking for.
