Industry Experience & Education

An understanding of the unique cultural and professional environment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the surrounding MENA region is essential for success. Fluency in Arabic is preferred. Head of Business Development positions typically require a bachelor's degree and 3-5 years of sales or marketing experience. While an MBA is preferred, it is not essential.

Industry experience, particularly within the Live Events industry, is the key factor. The ideal candidate should possess strong networking and persuasion skills, with a proven ability to identify and approach potential clients and opportunities (prospecting). Confidence and proficiency in public speaking, along with excellent research and writing abilities, are crucial. The ability to close sales and secure contracts, coupled with high motivation for sales and strategic sales planning skills, is vital.

Successful candidates will be adept at identifying customer needs and challenges, managing sales territories, and maintaining market knowledge. Meeting sales goals, maintaining professionalism, and proficiency in CRM systems and Microsoft Office are also critical for success in this role.
