About the Role

UWP powered by ARC helps UAE SMEs run their entire people operation through one partner — combining HR services, PRO and government coordination, payroll processing, staff outsourcing, and a modern HR technology platform. As we expand into the Abu Dhabi market, we are looking for a driven, consultative HR Business Consultant to grow our client base across the emirate.

This is a client-facing business development role for someone who can build relationships, understand a client's people-operations challenges, and introduce them to a genuinely valuable integrated solution. You will own the Abu Dhabi market end to end — from identifying potential clients to securing new engagements — and play a foundational role in establishing our brand in the emirate.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and grow our client base across Abu Dhabi mainland and free zones (ADGM, Hub71, KIZAD, Masdar City, twofour54, and others).
• Identify and engage potential clients through direct outreach, networking, referrals, business events, and existing relationships.
• Conduct discovery meetings and complimentary people-operations audits to understand each prospective client's HR, PRO, and payroll challenges.
• Present tailored solutions across our full offering — HR Services, PRO Services, Payroll Processing, Staff Outsourcing, and the HRMS platform.
• Prepare proposals, agree commercial terms, and secure new client engagements to meet and exceed monthly and quarterly business growth targets.
• Build and maintain referral partnerships with Abu Dhabi accounting firms, business setup consultancies, and free zone authorities.
• Represent UWP powered by ARC at Abu Dhabi business networking events, chambers, and industry forums.
• Ensure a smooth handover of each new client to the delivery team for onboarding.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of client engagement, pipeline, and forecasts in the CRM.
• Provide regular market feedback on the Abu Dhabi SME landscape, competitor activity, and client needs.

What We're Looking For

Experience and knowledge

• 2 to 5 years of B2B business development or client-facing consulting experience in the UAE, with Abu Dhabi market experience strongly preferred.
• An existing network within the Abu Dhabi business community is a significant advantage.
• Background in HR services, business services, SaaS, payroll, PRO, or related B2B solutions.
• Good working knowledge of the Abu Dhabi SME landscape, including ADGM, mainland licensing (ADDED), and the Tawteen (Emiratisation) framework.
• Proven track record of consistently meeting or exceeding business growth targets.

Skills and attributes

• Strong consultative advisory skills — able to diagnose client needs and position an integrated solution, not simply pitch a product.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills.
• Self-motivated, target-driven, and comfortable owning a market independently.
• Organised, with discipline in pipeline management and CRM record-keeping.
• Comfortable working in an early-stage, fast-moving business where the role and offering will evolve.

Language and other requirements

• Arabic language skills strongly preferred — highly valuable for building trust in the Abu Dhabi market.
• Fluent English (written and spoken) essential.
• Based in Abu Dhabi, or willing to relocate or commute reliably.
• UAE driving license and own car preferred, for territory coverage.
• Bachelor's degree preferred.

Success Metrics

Performance in this role will be measured against clear, agreed targets, including:

• Number of qualified meetings and people-operations audits conducted per month.
• Pipeline value built and maintained.
• New client engagements secured per month and per quarter.
• Monthly recurring revenue (MRR) generated from new clients.
• Referral partnerships established within the territory.

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary (commensurate with experience) plus an attractive, uncapped performance incentive structure.
• Genuine market ownership and the opportunity to shape our presence in Abu Dhabi.
• A foundational role in a growing business, with room to advance as we scale.
• Employment visa, medical insurance, and benefits in accordance with UAE law.
• Supportive partnership leadership with deep HR and technology expertise behind you.
