I am currently supporting a regional hotel management company, headquartered regionally out of the UAE, with their search for an experienced Senior Business Development Director to focus purely on the acquisition of new properties and hotels globally.

This role will be reporting directly into the regional Managing Director, and initially this will be an IC role - with future scope for you to grow & develop your own team over time.

You will be responsible for driving growth across the GCC region, and for that reason we are ideally looking for those who have a successful background operating across regional Middle Eastern markets and have a proven track record of new property & hotel acquisition.

Those who are Arabic speaking will also be strongly preferred.

What you'll need:

• Currently working in a similar role in an International Hotel Group
• Strong experience in the GCC region
• Hungry, driven and resilient – love a deal and be able to close them
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Understanding of market research and sales strategies.
• Excellent organizational abilities.
• Strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Strong written and verbal communication in English; Arabic would be an advantage.
