This is a full-time, office-based position available in our Bahrain office.
What You Will Do
- Own New business acquisition end-to-end: outbound prospecting, discovery, value mapping, technical demos, commercial proposals, negotiation, and close.
- Ability to run technical discovery sessions, map customer requirements, and run technical product demos.
- Build and self-manage a strong outbound pipeline using tools like Linkedin Sales Navigator, Amplemarket, or equivalent, maintaining a consistent flow of qualified opportunities.
- Leverage a strong LinkedIn presence to connect with and convert target prospects across the GCC.
- Navigate complex, multi-stakeholder deals: map decision-makers, manage engagement proactively, and drive progression at every stage.
- Prepare structured commercial proposals and handle end-to-end deal mechanics without reliance on support functions for standard cycles.
- Collaborate internally with product, marketing, and customer success to align on positioning and ensure a smooth handover post-close.
- Maintain accurate pipeline records and forecasts in the CRM.
- In this position you will report to the Business Director
Requirements
- Minimum 3 years in a full-cycle, new business sales role selling complex enterprise SaaS solutions, including ERPs, procure-to-pay, supply chain, or enterprise CRM platforms, OR a minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience in procurement or purchasing, with a strong passion for transitioning into enterprise SaaS sales.
- Demonstrated ability to own and close deals independently, from cold outreach through to signed contract.
- Skilled at running technical product demos and mapping solutions to client business cases without pre-sales support.
- Proficient in stakeholder management: ability to identify, map, and engage multiple decision-makers within a deal and drive each one forward.
- Hands-on with outbound tools (LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Amplemarket, or similar) and maintains an active, professional LinkedIn presence.
- Goes beyond basic AI use: actively leverages AI tools to shorten sales cycles, personalize outreach, and drive higher impact per rep.
- Comfortable with CRM hygiene and pipeline forecasting as day-to-day habits, not afterthoughts.
