The role

- Own and consistently meet sales and distribution targets for the market.
- Build and manage the sales pipeline, from prospecting to closing and reordering.
- Track market trends, competitor activity and customer needs, and feed insights back to the business.
- Coordinate with supply, marketing and operations teams to ensure smooth delivery and strong in-store presence.
- Represent the company at trade shows, buyer meetings and retail partner reviews.
What we're looking for
- Proven experience in sales or business development within sports and/or lifestyle retail (footwear, apparel, accessories) in the KSA market.
- Strong existing relationships with major retailers and buyers in the Kingdom.
- Deep knowledge of the KSA retail market and distribution landscape.
- A consistent track record of meeting and exceeding targets.
- Ambitious, self-driven and comfortable taking full ownership of a market.
- Excellent negotiation, communication and relationship-building skills.
- Fluency in [Arabic and English].
- Valid KSA driving licence and willingness to travel across the Kingdom.
