In partnership with our client, we are seeking an
Account Executive based in Egypt who knows how to open doors, build trust, and close complex enterprise deals in the B2B SaaS space. This is a role for someone who understands Egypt's rapidly growing financial services and insurance landscape, is commercially sharp, and is excited by the opportunity to sell AI-powered solutions that are transforming how insurers and banks operate across North Africa. You will work alongside high-agency commercial executives, reporting directly to the Head of Sales and maintaining close contact with the Founder and CEO. If you are an enterprise seller who thrives under pressure, operates with urgency, and wants to be rewarded for the results you deliver, we want to meet you.
Who are we looking for
- You are a proven enterprise salesperson with a consistent track record of quota attainment in B2B SaaS or enterprise technology, particularly within Egypt's financial services or insurance sector.
- You are a consultative seller who is highly proficient in enterprise frameworks like MEDDIC and knows how to qualify deals, define success criteria, and move opportunities through complex cycles with clarity.
- You are commercially driven and motivated by targets, energised by uncapped earning potential and the challenge of closing deals in one of North Africa's fastest-growing markets.
- You are highly proficient with AI tools and actively use them to accelerate research, outreach, meeting preparation, and overall sales productivity.
- You are a strong relationship builder who understands Egypt's enterprise buying environment and knows how to navigate its unique commercial, cultural, and regulatory dynamics.
- You are disciplined and organised, someone who maintains rigorous CRM hygiene, accurate forecasting, and clear close plans without being reminded.
- You are all in, someone who brings passion, urgency, and relentless energy to everything you do and is not looking for balance but for impact.
- You are an advantage if you are fluent in Arabic, enabling deeper and more authentic engagement with local stakeholders and clients.

Enterprise Sales Execution
- You will run full enterprise sales cycles from discovery to close, crafting compelling business cases, negotiating contracts, and delivering referenceable customers that drive future sales.
