Job Description
Golden Frame Interior Decoration is looking for a highly driven and commercially experienced Business Development Manager to join our team in Dubai.
This is a target-driven, revenue-generating role with one primary objective: to continuously generate, develop, and close interior design, renovation, fit-out, and turnkey project opportunities across the UAE.
The ideal candidate must have strong UAE market experience, an existing network of relevant decision-makers, and a proven track record of personally bringing projects into the business.
Key Responsibilities
- Generate new interior design, renovation, fit-out, and turnkey project opportunities on a continuous basis.
- Build and manage a strong pipeline of qualified residential, commercial, hospitality, retail, office, and other relevant projects.
- Develop relationships with property owners, developers, investors, consultants, architects, brokers, project managers, corporate clients, hospitality operators, and other key decision-makers.
- Identify new business opportunities through networking, referrals, cold outreach, LinkedIn, industry events, partnerships, and direct market activity.
- Arrange and attend client meetings, presentations, site visits, and project briefings.
- Understand client requirements and coordinate internally with design, estimation, procurement, technical, and project management teams.
- Present company capabilities, proposals, quotations, and commercial offers to prospective clients.
- Negotiate commercial terms and follow up consistently until opportunities are converted into signed contracts.
- Maintain an accurate and active CRM pipeline, including opportunity value, project stage, closing probability, next action, and expected closing date.
- Develop referral and strategic partnership channels that generate recurring business.
- Build long-term client relationships to encourage repeat projects and referrals.
- Achieve agreed monthly, quarterly, and annual sales and revenue targets.
Performance will be evaluated based on:
- Qualified leads generated
- Number of client meetings and site visits
- Value of opportunities added to the pipeline
- Number and value of proposals submitted
- Proposal-to-contract conversion rate
- Monthly and quarterly signed project value
- Revenue and gross profit generated
- Number of new clients acquired
- Repeat and referral business
- Pipeline coverage against target
- Accuracy of sales forecasting and CRM reporting
Required Qualifications:
- Minimum 5 years of UAE experience in business development or sales within interior design, fit-out, renovation, construction, or a closely related sector.
- Proven record of personally generating and closing interior or fit-out projects.
- Strong understanding of the UAE interior design, construction, and real estate market.
- Established network of relevant clients and decision-makers.
- Ability to independently generate business rather than relying only on company-generated leads.
- Strong negotiation, presentation, relationship-management, and closing skills.
- Commercial understanding of quotations, project budgets, BOQs, margins, timelines, and contractual terms.
- Strong communication skills in English.
- Excellent follow-up and CRM discipline.
- UAE driving licence preferred.
Preferred Candidate Profile:
Preference will be given to candidates who have:
- Previously secured medium to large interior design and fit-out projects in the UAE.
- Experience with projects valued from approximately AED 500,000 to multi-million-dirham contracts.
- Strong relationships with developers, property owners, consultants, architects, brokers, hospitality operators, retailers, corporate companies, investors, or HNW clients.
- Experience with luxury residential renovation, commercial fit-out, hospitality, F&B, retail, or office projects.
- Experience handling tenders, RFQs, prequalification processes, and corporate accounts.
- A documented track record of achieving or exceeding annual sales targets.
What We Offer:
- Competitive fixed salary
- Performance-based commission and incentives
- Marketing and business development support
- CRM and lead-management tools
- Company profile, portfolio, presentations, and sales materials
- Support from design, estimation, technical, procurement, and project teams
- Communication and transportation support where applicable
- Strong earning potential for candidates who consistently achieve targets
IMPORTANT:
This role is designed for a business generator and closer.
We are looking for someone who knows how to create opportunities, build relationships, maintain a continuous pipeline, and consistently convert projects into signed business.
Candidates should be prepared to discuss the approximate value, type, and source of interior design or fit-out projects they have personally generated and closed during their previous roles.
