Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia - We’re at the forefront of transforming corporate organizations across the Middle East with our market-leading Integrated Workplace Management Solutions (IWMS), helping to create smart, sustainable buildings. To support this mission, we’re looking for a Sales Manager, who is motivated and skilled at building partnerships, to help grow our presence in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Your role

As a Sales Manager, you contribute significantly in expanding our reach, identifying new business opportunities, and nurturing partnerships with key players in the region. You’ll collaborate with our network of partners—including Schneider Electric, SAP, global system integrators, and local resellers—to drive growth and deliver value to our clients.

In this role, you will :

• Develop and implement a strategic sales plan for the Middle East, with a focus on Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
• Identify and engage new business opportunities, guiding them through the full sales cycle.
• Represent Planon and our innovative IWMS solutions at industry events and conferences.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with partners and resellers to ensure a consistent pipeline.
• Collaborate with local teams and leadership to build trust with prospects and stakeholders.
• Maintain accurate sales forecasts and pipelines, and work toward achieving your sales goals.
• Contribute to a growing, supportive team with opportunities for learning and professional development.

Join to apply for the Sales Director - Middle East role at Nebius .

Nebius is leading a new era in cloud computing to serve the global AI economy. We create the tools and resources our customers need to solve real-world challenges and transform industries, without massive infrastructure costs or the need to build large in-house AI/ML teams. Our employees work at the cutting edge of AI cloud infrastructure alongside some of the most experienced and innovative leaders and engineers in the field.

Headquartered in Amsterdam and listed on Nasdaq, Nebius has a global footprint with R&D hubs across Europe, North America, and Israel. The team of over 800 employees includes more than 400 highly skilled engineers with deep expertise across hardware and software engineering, as well as an in-house AI R&D team.

As Sales Director – Middle East , you will lead by example — combining hands-on business development with strategic leadership to drive adoption of our AI and cloud solutions across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other GCC countries. This player–coach position balances direct selling with people leadership: you’ll manage one direct sales representative initially, with potential to grow and lead a small team in the region.

You’ll cultivate executive-level client relationships, identify and close high-value opportunities, and develop tailored solutions to address complex business challenges. Success will require a blend of strategic thinking, execution excellence, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving market.

Ideal candidate must be based and located in either Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates or Qatar and can travel freely within the region.

• Lead by Example: Personally prospect, develop, and close deals while mentoring and coaching your direct report.
• Lead Generation, Prospect & Business Development: Identify and qualify new sales opportunities through proactive outreach, relationship building, and market research.
• Client Engagement: Develop deep relationships with key stakeholders across the enterprise, positioning our AI and cloud solutions to address client-specific challenges.
• Sales Strategy: Partner with internal technical teams to create compelling proposals that align with customer needs and objectives.
• Solution Selling: Demonstrate the value of AI and cloud solutions through consultative selling, product demonstrations, and presentations.
• Negotiation & Closing: Lead contract negotiations with C-suite executives, securing deals that meet revenue targets and contributing to long-term partnerships.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with marketing, product, and customer success teams to ensure alignment and deliver exceptional client experiences.
• Accurately forecast pipeline and close rates; use CRM (e.g., HubSpot or Salesforce) to track activity.
• Industry Representation: Represent Nebius AI at relevant AI, cloud, and digital government forums across the Middle East.
• Market Knowledge: Stay updated on industry trends, emerging technologies, and competitive landscape to position our solutions effectively.

• Proven Experience: 10+ years of experience in B2B sales, particularly in AI, cloud, or data infrastructure.
• Fluent Arabic and English, with exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience working with ministries, sovereign wealth funds, or national R&D entities.
• Technical Acumen: Strong understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), AI solutions, and related technologies.
• Ability to build and scale sales from the ground up (0-to-1).
• Strong understanding of the Middle East market, with experience selling locally while navigating the structure and processes of a global organization.
• Sales Expertise: Track record of meeting/exceeding sales quotas, closing deals with enterprise clients, and developing long-term client relationships.
• Excellent communication skills: Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts into business value and the ability to speak with C-Level clients.
• Problem-Solving Ability: Strong analytical skills to diagnose customer challenges and create tailored solutions.
• CRM Proficiency: Experience with CRM tools such as Salesforce, HubSpot, or similar.
• Ability to build and maintain strong relationships with diverse stakeholders.
• Ability to travel as needed.

• Previous experience in a high-growth, start-up environment.
• Exposure to SaaS models or cloud infrastructure sales.
• Experience selling to mid-market or enterprise-level clients.
• Experience selling to native AI Start-ups.

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
• Opportunities for professional growth within Nebius.
