Sales Director

Are you a senior technology seller with real relationships across UAE banks who wants to help shape a product, not just sell a finished one?

Our client is a leading independent consultancy in the Middle East that has already built, scaled and sold a successful business. Its new digital arm brings together real estate expertise, market data and technology to solve practical problems for banks and lenders, starting with valuation workflows, collateral assessment and risk.

The business already works with every major bank in the UAE, and its product and technology team has grown fast this year. They're now hiring a senior commercial leader to open doors at senior levels in the banks and turn what they learn into products and revenue.
