• Liaise with internal teams (training delivery, curriculum development, consulting services, operations) to ensure service offerings align with client expectations and project deliverables.
• Monitor client satisfaction and service delivery performance: gather feedback, resolve issues, conduct follow‑up and ensure high quality client experience.

• Minimum 4-6 years experience in client relationship management, account management or business development preferably within training, consulting or professional services.
• Demonstrated track‑record of managing corporate clients, delivering service excellence and growing client accounts.
• Strong communication, presentation and interpersonal skills; able to engage with senior decision‑makers in client organisations.
• Excellent organisation and stakeholder‑management skills: able to coordinate across internal teams and manage multiple client accounts simultaneously.
• Comfortable working with CRM systems, MS Office (especially Excel/PowerPoint) and generating client‑centric reports.
• Proactive and results‑oriented personality: ability to identify client needs, respond quickly and drive action.
• Fluency in English; Arabic language skills are an advantage.

Key Competencies & Behaviours

• Client‑focused: prioritises client satisfaction, anticipates client needs and builds trustful relationships.
• Strategic thinker: sees beyond transactional services, identifies growth or improvement opportunities and links client value to business outcomes.
• Collaborative and influencing: works effectively across internal teams, navigates organisational interfaces and influences stakeholders.
