Business Development Executive

About Cheval Cheval is a Dubai-based web design, development, and AI automation agency with 11 years in the market. We work with hospitality, real estate, and institutional clients across the UAE, and we're expanding fast into AI services: AI agents, workflow automation, and AI-enhanced web platforms. We're a lean senior team, which means you'll work directly with the founder and see the impact of every deal you close. The Role We're hiring a business builder. Your job is to build pipeline from scratch: find leads, qualify them, get meetings, and close business. You'll create opportunities, not wait for them. You won't be doing it alone. We'll back you with case studies, portfolio, references, and senior support in closing meetings. What we can't give you is the drive to pick up the phone. That's on you. What You'll Do - Generate your own leads through outbound prospecting, networking, and referrals - Qualify inbound and outbound opportunities and move them through the pipeline - Book and run discovery meetings with prospective clients - Close deals, with senior/founder support on complex or high-value pitches - Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities within existing client accounts - Own your pipeline: track it, report on it, forecast it What We're Looking For - 2–5 years of business development or sales experience, ideally at a digital, web, or creative agency - Comfortable talking about how websites, apps, and digital products actually get built — you don't need to code, but you need to hold a credible technical conversation - Conceptual understanding of AI: what AI agents and workflow automation can do for a business, and how to explain that to a non-technical decision-maker - Commercial instinct — you understand how businesses make money and can frame our services around client outcomes, not features - Self-starter with an open mindset and long-term ambition. We want someone who grows with the agency, not someone hunting their next job in 12 months - UAE market experience preferred **Nice to have:** Bilingual English/Arabic. Compensation - Competitive base salary - Commissions - Quarterly and annual performance bonuses Why Join You'll be selling for an established agency with a real portfolio and 11 years of delivery behind it, at the exact moment we're pushing into AI services — one of the fastest-growing spend categories for UAE businesses. If you perform, the path to leading business development for the agency is open. **To apply:** Send your CV and a short note on the biggest deal you've closed and how you sourced it. • Show more Show less
