Our client, a well-established design and build firm, has expanded its operations into Saudi Arabia and is now looking for a Head of Business Development to lead their growth in the Kingdom. This is a key hire for their KSA presence, and they need someone who understands the market, knows the stakeholders, and can actively drive new business opportunities from day one.

The role is centred around building visibility, strengthening relationships, and securing new projects that align with the company's capabilities.

The Head of BD will be responsible for shaping and executing the commercial strategy for KSA. This includes identifying opportunities, meeting clients regularly, preparing proposals, and ensuring the company is positioned competitively for tenders and upcoming developments. They will work closely with the design, commercial, and delivery teams to create solutions that respond directly to client needs.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leveraging existing relationships and building new ones to grow the company's presence in the Kingdom.

• Representing the company at client meetings, industry events, and networking forums within KSA.
