Business Development Specialist - Corporate Services

About Paci.ai Paci.ai is an AI-powered accounting and financial operations platform helping entrepreneurs, SMEs, and growing companies in the UAE manage their books, compliance, and financial reporting more efficiently. As part of our expansion, Paci.ai is extending into business setup and company formation — supporting clients from initial incorporation through licensing, banking, and ongoing corporate support, all backed by our technology-driven approach to operations and client service. We're building this new line of business from the ground up and are looking for a Business Setup Consultant to help us establish a strong footing in this space. Role Description The Business Setup Consultant is a full-time, on-site position based in Dubai, UAE. You will be the day-to-day point of contact for clients looking to establish, license, or restructure their business in the UAE — guiding them through free zone and mainland company formation, licensing, PRO and document-clearing services, and banking assistance. This is a hands-on, client-facing role suited to someone who wants to build real expertise in UAE company formation and grow with Paci.ai as we scale this service line. Key Responsibilities • Advise entrepreneurs, startups, and SMEs on the most suitable company formation structure — free zone vs. mainland — based on their business activity and goals. • Manage the end-to-end incorporation process: name reservation, initial approvals, licensing, and registration with relevant authorities. • Coordinate PRO services and document clearing, including visas, Emirates ID, and government liaison work. • Assist clients with corporate bank account opening, including documentation and bank liaison. • Guide clients through license renewals and ongoing regulatory compliance requirements. • Maintain accurate records of client cases, timelines, and status across the formation pipeline. • Build and maintain working relationships with free zone authorities, government departments, and banks to keep processes efficient. • Provide clients with clear, transparent updates throughout their setup journey. • Identify opportunities to cross-sell Paci.ai's accounting and compliance services to business setup clients. • Work closely with Paci.ai's accounting, compliance, and operations teams to ensure a smooth handover once a client is set up. Qualifications and Experience • 2+ years of experience in UAE company formation, corporate services, PRO services, or a related consultancy environment. • Solid working knowledge of UAE free zone and mainland company formation, licensing, and PRO processes. • Familiarity with UAE banking requirements for corporate account opening. • Experience managing multiple client cases simultaneously with strong attention to detail. • Comfortable liaising directly with government authorities, free zones, and banks. • Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Law, or a related field preferred. • Fluency in English required; Arabic is a strong advantage. Personal Profile • Organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple moving parts at once. • Client-focused with strong communication skills — able to explain regulatory and procedural matters clearly. • Proactive and reliable in following up with authorities, banks, and clients to keep cases moving. • Excited to help build a new service line and grow their expertise as the team scales. What Paci.ai Offers • A competitive salary, commensurate with experience. • The opportunity to help build a new business line from an early stage. • Exposure to Paci.ai's broader accounting and technology platform. • A collaborative, fast-moving team environment with room to grow into a more senior role as the function expands.
