We're hiring a Business Development & Sales Manager to drive revenue growth. This is a hands-on, client-facing role focused on opening new business — you'll spend the majority of your time meeting clients, pitching partnerships, and closing deals, with oversight of overall sales performance across retail and online channels.
What You'll Do
- Identify, pitch, and close new B2B and distribution opportunities across retail, hospitality, and corporate channels.
- Build and manage a live sales pipeline with clear targets and regular forecasting.
- Conduct regular in-person client visits, pitches, and negotiations.
- Oversee retail and online sales performance, ensuring targets are tracked and met.
- Manage digital ad budgets and campaigns with accountability for ROI.
- Lead and align sales, retail, and digital team members around shared revenue goals.
- Report regularly to leadership on pipeline, channel, and sales performance.
What We're Looking For
- Minimum 7+ years of progressive experience in business development or sales, ideally within retail, jewelry, luxury goods, gifting, or FMCG sectors.
- Qatar market experience is mandatory — candidates must have direct, hands-on experience selling, distributing, or operating within the Qatar market, with an existing understanding of local buyer behavior, retail landscape, and business culture.
- Established network of contacts across Qatar's retail, hospitality, corporate gifting, or distribution sectors is a strong advantage.
- Proven track record of opening new accounts and channels from scratch, not just managing or growing existing relationships.
- Comfortable with direct outreach, cold visits, and closing deals with new partners with minimal supervision.
- Strong understanding of the full sales cycle, from lead generation and qualification through negotiation and closing.
- Working knowledge of digital media buying, e-commerce sales performance, and how to evaluate marketing ROI.
- Experience managing multi-functional teams across sales, retail operations, and digital/marketing.
- Strong analytical skills, comfortable setting KPIs, tracking performance, and reporting results to leadership.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to build trust quickly with new clients and partners.
- High level of self-motivation, ownership, and resilience — able to operate independently and stay focused on revenue targets.
- Bilingual (Arabic & English) strongly preferred.
Why Join Us?
- High-visibility role with direct access to leadership.
- Real ownership of the commercial growth agenda.
- Competitive package with performance-based incentives.
