Business Development Manager – Lighting
KinFitz and Co
Are you a client facing seller who can walk into a room, hold it, and turn a design conversation into a signed order?
A specialist design and supply company works with private clients, interior designers, contractors and developers across the UAE, delivering high end residential, hospitality and commercial projects sourced from a global supplier network. They are known for two things in their market: they never charge for design work, and they stay involved on site through delivery and installation rather than stepping away once the order is placed. Coming into a strong growth period, they are bringing in a dedicated salesperson for this division, a role that has until now been covered internally by leadership.
This is a first mover role rather than an inherited book. There is an existing client base to service from day one, but the mandate is genuinely to build the function from scratch alongside it.
What’s in it for you:
-
First mover commercial role, you would be the first dedicated salesperson this division has had
-
Direct access to and mentorship from senior leadership, both experienced sellers in this space
-
An established client base to work from immediately, alongside real scope to bring in new business
-
Base salary starting from AED 20,000 per month, negotiable based on experience, plus commission on the gross profit of every delivered project
What you’ll be doing:
-
Managing and growing an existing portfolio of contractor, developer and private client relationships
-
Identifying and closing new business across residential, hospitality and commercial projects
-
Presenting design and product proposals to clients, contractors and interior designers
-
Coordinating with the design and procurement team to bring proposals from concept to signed purchase order
-
Staying involved post sale, working with project and installation teams through to delivery
What we need:
-
A proven track record in client facing sales or account management, ideally with exposure to project based or specification led selling
-
Existing relationships across contractors, developers or interior designers in the UAE are a strong advantage, though not essential
-
Comfort managing long sales cycles, projects typically run eight to twelve weeks from purchase order to delivery
-
A genuine willingness to learn the product and technical side on the job, no lighting or interiors background required
-
Resilience for a fast paced, hands on business where client demands can be immediate
If you want to build a sales function from scratch rather than inherit someone else’s playbook, we would like to hear from you.
