Introduction
Looking for your next big move in IT sales? As a Sales Officer with us, you won’t just be pushing products—you’ll be helping businesses solve real-world challenges in a rapidly evolving tech landscape. If you thrive on building lasting client relationships and love the thrill of exceeding targets (with the commission to show for it), this could be just the role you’ve been searching for. Plus, with a company-provided accommodation package, making the leap to a new opportunity has never been easier.
About the Company
At our core, we’re a tight-knit crew driven by curiosity and ambition—think “startup hustle meets industry expertise.” We’re growing fast, and our team genuinely enjoys collaborating (and occasionally competing for the best coffee in the break room). Innovation isn’t just a buzzword here; it’s how we keep our edge in the ever-changing IT sector. If you have ideas, you’ll find open ears and open minds.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Identifying and engaging new business opportunities within the IT sector—think proactive outreach, not just waiting for leads to land in your inbox
- Building and nurturing relationships with clients, understanding their needs, and tailoring solutions that genuinely add value

- Consistently meeting (and even exceeding) sales targets—yes, we notice and reward effort
- Keeping a finger on the pulse of industry trends to ensure we’re always one step ahead
- Collaborating with technical teams to ensure smooth onboarding and happy, long-term customers
- Providing regular updates and insights to management—clear communication is key to our team’s success
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Minimum 2 years’ proven sales experience in the IT industry
- UAE Driving License (this one’s essential—you’ll be on the move)
- Strong communication and negotiation abilities—think “trusted advisor,” not just “salesperson”
- Demonstrated track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets
- Comfortable with fast-paced environments and quick pivots
Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience selling to enterprise clients in Dubai
- Familiarity with the latest IT products and solutions
- A knack for building rapport across cultures and industries
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.

We believe work should be rewarding, both professionally and personally. Here, you’ll find the support and recognition you need to excel—and maybe even enjoy the journey along the way.
