• Apply structured, disciplined qualification (MEDDPICC or equivalent), qualifying in and disqualifying out with equal rigor.

• Translate a client's operational pain points into specific, relevant AI Agents, AI Apps, and AI Models use cases.
• Research a prospect's business, technology, and recent moves thoroughly before any first meeting.

Prospecting & Business Development

• Conduct proactive outbound prospecting through multiple channels, including calls, email, LinkedIn, networking, events, referrals, and industry connections.
• Generate and co-develop pipeline together with Marketing through account-based marketing (ABM) efforts.
• Generate and manage pipeline in partnership with the company's channel and partner ecosystem.
• Lead prospecting at industry exhibitions and events using a pre-built target list, rather than general floor-walking.
• Qualify opportunities based on business need, commercial potential, buying authority, timing, and fit.

Consultative Selling & Deal Closure

• Understand the prospect's business challenges and translate them into potential technology solutions.
• Develop compelling commercial propositions, proposals, and presentations in collaboration with relevant internal teams.
• Lead commercial discussions, negotiations, and deal progression.
• Own opportunities from initial prospecting through qualification, proposal, negotiation, and closure.
• Close deals directly or indirectly through strategic partnerships and channel relationships.
• Leverage partnerships to access new markets, accounts, and opportunities.
• Clearly articulate the business value, ROI, and impact of proposed technology solutions.

CRM, Pipeline & Reporting

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of prospects, activities, opportunities, and deal stages in the CRM.
• Provide regular visibility on pipeline value, forecast, conversion rates, activities, and expected closures.
• Ensure disciplined follow-up and progression of opportunities.
• Analyze pipeline performance and continuously improve prospecting and conversion approaches.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Pre-Sales, Engineering, Production, Products, finance, Legal, and other relevant functions to ensure commercial commitments are realistic and deliverable.
• Coordinate internally to develop customized solutions and proposals for prospects.
• Ensure a smooth transition from closed opportunity to implementation and account ownership.

Networking and Industry Engagement:

• Attend industry exhibitions and conferences relevant to AI Agents, Apps, and Models, using a pre-built target list to drive prospecting.
• Develop and maintain client relationships, expectations & satisfaction, understanding how systems integrators, hyperscalers, and channel partners fit around a deal.
• Conduct regular in-person meetings with UAE-based clients and stakeholders to strengthen relationships

• Experience selling technology, digital, AI, SaaS, cloud, automation, software, IT services, or other technology-enabled solutions.
• Management consulting background (e.g., Big 4, strategy firm) is a strong plus, bringing diagnostic rigor and business-case skills.
