Qatar Business Development Manager for Vital Certificates QFZ Branch. Part Time position, flexible.

Are you a friendly, approachable, and confident individual that is up for a challenge? We are looking for the right person to help set up, run and expand our new office in Doha and assist clients to prepare documents for international use. Don’t worry if you haven’t got any experience in this field, the existing team in the UAE and UK will help support you every step of the way.

 

Your role would be to develop the branch, by seeking out new opportunities to increase regional brand awareness and profitability. You’ll work closely with our Regional Manager based in Dubai but day to day you’ll have a lot of flexibility and autonomy.

 

You will likely have close ties to the British ex-pat community and be able to ‘fly the flag’. We are proud of our British heritage, and you will know how to use this to your advantage in a region that values quality and integrity.

 

Whilst you will focus mainly on business development there is an element of being a ‘jack-of-all-trades’ to the position, as you’ll need to wear many hats. Your responsibilities would include:

 

·       Development

o   Seeking out new clients, networking and establishing corporate partnerships

o   Raising awareness and creating brand confidence in this new market

o   Identifying new revenue streams from complementary services

·       Management

o   Establishing and nurturing local supplier relationships

o   Ensuring a smooth-running office

o   Setting up systems and processes to ensure a seamless service for our customers

·       Reporting

o   Weekly and monthly management reports to the Regional Manager

o   Communicating changes in rules and procedures within Qatar

 

We would expect you to be from a services background, so you will understand the importance of meeting client expectations. Our business thrives on word-of-mouth recommendations and looking after our existing corporate clients, so it is essential that we don’t let anyone down. You will know how to make that happen systematically.

 

Your skill set is likely to include:

·       Excellent spoken & written English

·       Can communicate with ease

·       Pro-active and resourceful nature

·       Impressive attention to detail

·       High level of organisational skills

·       Familiar with working to KPIs

·       Sales and marketing experience within a service-based industry

·       Excellent people-skills with a genuine passion to receive and deliver quality customer service

 

You will have been living in Doha for at least 2 years, as familiarity with the way business works specifically in Qatar is essential. You may have gained this experience either directly through employment or by virtue of moving to the region as a dependent partner. Your experience for the role may have been gained from your life before becoming an expat.

 

Reporting directly to our Regional Manager, you will be a key member of our team, and helping to shape the future of our business, securing valuable repeat custom.

 

The role is initially part-time and has the potential to grow as the business grows.  You can organise your working hours around other commitments such as childcare or family obligations and flexibility to work from home is provided, although you would need to regularly attend the office to effectively manage the business.

 

Remuneration will be between 8,000 – 10,000OMR matched to experience, along with profit-based bonuses, matched to performance.  22 days holiday is provided, and we’ll even give you an additional day off for your birthday, because who wants to work on their birthday?  You’ll also be provided with a return flight home once per year and comprehensive medical insurance.

 

We think this is an ideal job for anyone with an entrepreneurial flare, looking for a new challenge or returning to the workplace. This is an opportunity to escape the mundane and make a real difference in a growing business. If you think this role has been written for you and are ready to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in, we’d love to hear from you.

 

Send a cover letter along with your CV, telling us about who you are. What makes you tick. What your aspirations are. Why we’d be mad not to hire you. Go for broke here and really show us what you’re made of.

 

We look forward to hearing from you!
