Why Join Fresha?
This is more than a sales role—it’s a chance to shape the future of beauty and wellness across the GCC. As a Business Development Manager, you’ll play a critical role in expanding our footprint in the region, working closely with the Head of Sales (GCC) and cross-functional teams.
You’ll be joining a supportive, high-growth environment where we actively invest in your success and where your impact will be seen and valued. We particularly welcome applications from women and underrepresented groups, as we’re building a diverse team that reflects the communities we serve.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Consistently meet or exceed sales targets through proactive outreach and relationship building
- Identify, approach, and engage key decision-makers via calls, emails, and social media
- Deliver engaging product demos and close new business across the GCC
- Manage the full sales cycle—from initial contact to onboarding
- Conduct cost-benefit and needs analyses to align our solutions with client goals
- Collaborate with internal teams to deliver a seamless partner experience
- Share feedback on market trends and insights to improve our offering
- Respond promptly to 100% of qualified inbound leads and maintain accurate CRM documentation
What We’re Looking For
- 2+ years of B2B sales experience with a proven track record of success
- Experience in SaaS, online marketplaces, or fintech is a strong advantage
- A people-first approach—you’re a connector, not just a closer
- Highly organised with strong time management and prioritisation skills
- Fluent in both Arabic and English
- Based in the GCC or open to relocation
- Naturally curious, coachable, and passionate about personal growth
