Business Development Executive
Location: Dubai, UAE
Type: Full-time
Salary: Competitive base/month + performance-based commission
Start date: September 2025
Role Overview
nuja inc. is looking for a confident, strategic and driven Business Development Executive to help us grow our revenue, reputation, and client base across the region.
This isn’t a “bring in leads and pass them on” kind of role. We’re hiring a growth partner - someone who understands our value, can carry it into the right rooms (founder chats, industry events, strategic intros), and turn curiosity into contracts.
Why This Role Exists
We’ve grown through referrals and results. But we’re ready to scale, intentionally.
This role exists to create consistent growth. Not through cold selling, but by building thoughtful relationships and identifying opportunities that align with what nuja does best - brand strategy, content retainers, and campaign work for ambitious brands.
Key Responsibilities
- Generate, qualify and close new business across our key services
- Pitch and convert warm and cold leads into long-term client relationships
- Build and manage a healthy pipeline using CRM tools
- Attend industry events and represent nuja in external meetings
- Collaborate with the internal team on pitch decks and proposals
- Provide regular updates on progress, pipeline status and insights
You’re a Great Fit If You
- Are based in Dubai and have a valid driving license and car
- Have 3–5 years of business development or client acquisition experience
- Communicate with confidence, clarity and emotional intelligence
- Have worked in brand, creative, strategy or marketing services (absolute must)
- Are proactive and independent, not waiting for instructions
- Are comfortable navigating a fast-paced, founder-led environment
Bonus if you:
- Are familiar with industries like architecture & interior design, construction, wellness or F&B
- Have sold service-based offerings in a creative or consulting environment
- Speak Arabic and understand regional B2B dynamics
What We Offer
- Competitive monthly base salary
- Uncapped commission after revenue targets are met
- A hybrid working structure: studio, meetings, and on-the-go
- Direct access to the founder and strategy team
- A thoughtful, high-growth culture that values ownership
What Will Count as Success
- Closing your first client by Month 2
- Generating at least 4x your monthly salary in new revenue by Month 3
- Becoming the trusted face of business growth at nuja
