• Capture accurate lead details in the Event BDR app in real time
• Book qualified meetings, or walk prospects to the client’s stand for a live introduction
• Bridge language gaps so conversations keep moving toward a decision
• Report your activity through the platform as the event runs

What we are looking for

• Based in United Arab Emirates, or able to work UAE events
• Background in sales, business development, lead generation or events. SDR or BDR experience ideal

• Confident opening conversations with strangers and holding a clear, professional pitch
• Fluent English is required
• Self-motivated, presentable, and comfortable moving through a busy floor all day
