Company Overview

Marsh is a global leader in insurance broking and risk management, helping clients navigate the increasingly complex world of risk. With a growing presence in Oman, our team is dedicated to driving growth and delivering tailored solutions to our diverse client base in the region. The Omani insurance market is evolving, with increasing demand for innovative risk management solutions. However, challenges such as regulatory changes, market competition, and the need for digital transformation present unique hurdles for brokers in Oman. This role is pivotal in addressing these challenges and capitalizing on the opportunities within the Omani market.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Business Development Manager to join our Risk Management team in Oman. This senior-level sales role will focus on prospecting, nurturing, and securing new business opportunities with large corporate clients across the Omani market. Reporting directly to the Oman Sales Leader, you will be responsible for developing and executing effective sales strategies to identify, pursue, win, and expand new business.

We are open to candidates from different sales industries, and prior experience in insurance or risk management is preferred but not essential. We also welcome applications from non-Omani candidates who have the right experience and are interested in contributing to Marsh’s growth in Oman.

Key Responsibilities

• Leverage your extensive network of contacts within large organizations in Oman to drive new sales.
• Understand client needs and present innovative risk management and insurance solutions tailored to the Omani market.
• Analyze market and industry trends specific to Oman and define sales strategies to capitalize on local market opportunities.
• Collaborate closely with internal teams to deliver exceptional client service and support, ensuring compliance with Omani regulations.
• Work alongside colleagues from Mercer, Oliver Wyman & Guy Carpenter to bring the full value of Marsh McLennan to our clients in Oman.
• Achieve and exceed individual and team sales targets, contributing to the overall growth of Marsh in Oman.

Requirements

• Minimum 5-7 years of direct sales experience, preferably within the insurance or risk management industry.
• Proven track record of successfully prospecting, nurturing, and closing new business deals with large corporate clients.
• Experience in the Omani insurance and risk management market, including regulatory frameworks and local business practices, is an advantage.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation skills, with the ability to build strong relationships with clients.
• Strong business acumen and ability to understand complex client needs in the context of the Omani market.
• Willingness to travel within Oman as required.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and commission structure.
• Comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance and retirement plans.
• Opportunities for career advancement within a global organization.
