Growth & Sales Manager - UAE

Company Description BridgeYU is building the next generation of learning infrastructure. We empower educators, coaching institutes, schools, universities, and content creators to launch their own branded learning platforms with enterprise-grade features—without the complexity or cost of traditional LMS solutions. We're at an exciting stage of our journey and are looking for someone who doesn't just want a job—they want to build a company. If you're passionate about creating growth from scratch and love turning opportunities into customers, we'd love to meet you. Role Description We are looking for a Growth & Sales Lead who can help scale BridgeYU from 0 to 1. This is not a role for someone who simply manages a sales pipeline. We are looking for someone who can build the pipeline, create repeatable sales processes, validate growth channels, and consistently deliver measurable business results. You will own the complete revenue journey—from identifying ideal customers and generating qualified leads to closing deals and building long-term customer relationships. You'll experiment with different outbound and inbound strategies, optimize conversion funnels, and work directly with the founders to define our go-to-market strategy. If you believe every "maybe" can become a customer with the right follow-up, and you measure success by numbers rather than activity, this role is for you. Key Responsibilities • Build and execute our go-to-market and sales strategy from the ground up. • Generate high-quality leads through outbound, partnerships, referrals, and other scalable channels. • Convert prospects into paying customers through consultative selling and persistent follow-ups. • Build, manage, and optimize the entire sales pipeline using CRM tools. • Analyze sales metrics, identify bottlenecks, and continuously improve conversion rates. • Develop repeatable sales playbooks and growth experiments. • Work closely with the founders to identify new market opportunities and refine product positioning. • Own revenue targets and consistently demonstrate measurable business growth. • Build relationships that convert into long-term customers and brand advocates. Qualifications • Proven track record of driving sales and business growth in a startup or high-growth environment. • Demonstrated ability to generate leads independently and consistently close deals. • Strong understanding of B2B SaaS sales, customer acquisition, and growth strategies. • Experience creating scalable sales processes and implementing effective GTM strategies. • Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills. • Highly data-driven with the ability to track KPIs and make decisions based on numbers. • Self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and enjoys building things from scratch. • Comfortable wearing multiple hats in an early-stage startup. • Experience with CRM platforms, sales automation tools, and prospecting platforms is a plus. • Prior experience selling EdTech or SaaS solutions is preferred but not mandatory.
