Business Development Manager – Earth Observation & Space Data | Saudi Arabia
A space and defence company delivering Earth observation and geospatial data analytics to civil, defence and dual-use markets across Saudi Arabia, the wider GCC and beyond. Already revenue-generating and preparing for Series A, the business is scaling toward roughly 150 employees over the next 12 months.
They're looking for a commercially-minded BD/Sales hire who can bring an existing network and contracts, not just open doors. This is a hit the ground running role.
What they need:
- A track record generating revenue in Earth observation, satellite data, geospatial analytics or a closely related space/defence sector
- An established network across defence, government, environmental or commercial buyers, ideally spanning the GCC, Europe or wider international markets
- Comfortable working across both direct sales and channel/partner routes to market
- A background that combines technical credibility (understanding satellite imagery, data analytics, use-case development) with genuine deal-closing experience
Nice to have:
- Based in Saudi Arabia
- A background or qualification in AI/machine learning
- Experience selling into defence, environmental or maritime verticals
What's on offer:
- Competitive base plus commission, with flexibility on structure for the right profile
- Genuine ground-floor opportunity ahead of a Series A raise and major headcount growth
- Open to in-person (Saudi) or remote arrangements for candidates who bring their own contracts and network
