Candidates must currently reside in one of the GCC countries: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain or Oman. This is an entrepreneurial, equity-based opportunity, with direct participation in the business generated. This is not an opportunity for candidates looking for a fixed-salary position.
Location: GCC-based — Remote
Role: Co-Founder / Entrepreneur in Residence — Business Development & Sales
Industry: Advertising Technology, Media & Digital Marketing
Compensation: Equity + revenue participation
The Opportunity
We are looking for a Co-Founder Commercial Partner to develop Parvus Media's business across Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC region. This is not a traditional sales position.
We are looking for an entrepreneurial commercial profile who understands the advertising and digital marketing ecosystem in the region and wants to build a business alongside us.
The ideal candidate has worked within a media agency, advertising agency, publisher, adtech company or digital media business in the GCC, and understands how brands and agencies evaluate, buy and implement innovative marketing solutions.
You will take ownership of developing the market: identifying opportunities, opening doors, building relationships and turning those conversations into commercial projects.
What You Will Do
- Develop Parvus Media's business across Saudi Arabia and the GCC remotely.
- Identify and engage brands, media agencies, publishers and strategic partners.
- Build and manage the commercial pipeline from initial contact to opportunity development.
- Introduce innovative advertising and marketing technology solutions to senior decision-makers.
- Identify client challenges where automation, data, AI or technology can create a differentiated solution.
- Build relationships with senior media, marketing, digital and innovation professionals.
- Help define our regional go-to-market strategy, partnerships and positioning.
- Develop long-term relationships with agencies, brands and publishers across the region.
- Act as an entrepreneurial partner building the market, rather than as a traditional salesperson.
You Won't Be Alone
Parvus will provide the products, demos, technology, technical capabilities and support required to develop commercial opportunities.
You will have access to real products, working demos and innovative solutions designed around problems that brands and agencies increasingly need to solve, but often lack the internal technical capabilities to build themselves.
You won't be expected to manage the entire commercial process alone.
Parvus will actively participate in:
- Client briefs
- Discovery calls
- Product demos
- Technical discussions
- Solution design
- Proposals
- Strategic client meetings
Your role is to open the market, identify the right opportunities and develop the relationships.
We will be part of the brief, meetings and solution-development process, working together to turn those opportunities into business.
What We Are Looking For
- Currently based in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain or Oman.
- Strong experience in advertising, media, digital marketing, adtech or publishing.
- Professional experience within a media agency, advertising agency, publisher or relevant digital business in the GCC.
- An established network among agencies, advertisers, publishers or marketing decision-makers in the region is highly valued.
- Proven experience in business development, commercial partnerships or new business.
- Ability to open doors and build relationships with senior decision-makers.
- A consultative sales mindset: capable of understanding the client's challenge before proposing a solution.
- Strong self-management and organizational skills.
- Ability to work independently and take ownership of the regional commercial pipeline.
- Comfortable creating opportunities from zero rather than managing an existing portfolio.
- Entrepreneurial mindset and interest in building a business rather than simply joining one.
- Business-level English.
- Arabic is highly valuable.
About Parvus Media
Parvus Media is an innovation and technology company specialized in applying data, automation, AI and creative technology to advertising and digital marketing.
We work with brands, media agencies and publishers to build solutions that traditional media and marketing teams often don't have the technical resources, technology or specialist experience to develop internally.
Our capabilities include:
- Innovative Ad Formats
- Dynamic and data-driven advertising
- Campaign automation across Display, SEM & Social
- Signal-based media activation
- Audience intelligence
- Connecting data signals across advertising and marketing platforms
- AI-powered advertising and marketing tools
- Custom advertising technology solutions
Rather than replacing existing agencies, platforms or media stacks, Parvus helps clients extend what they can do with them — combining strategy, data, automation and technology to create solutions that are difficult to execute with conventional agency resources.
Partnership & Compensation
We are looking for someone who values ownership, autonomy and long-term upside, and who wants to build Parvus Media's presence in Saudi Arabia and the GCC together with us.
For the right person, the ambition is not simply to become Parvus Media's salesperson in the region.
The ambition is to become a partner in building the regional business.
