Senior Business Development Manager - Employee Benefits

Are you an employee benefits or insurance broking professional who wants to get in early on the biggest shift in UAE gratuity in decades

Our client runs one of the few licensed alternative end of service benefits schemes in the UAE, backed by one of the region's largest investment managers. Instead of holding gratuity as a liability on their books, employers pay a monthly contribution into regulated funds that grow for their employees. The business has already onboarded some major clients, has offices in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and is now moving from start-up phase into scale. They are adding senior sellers to take the solution to a much wider range of companies.

What's in it for you

- Basic salary of AED 30,000 to 45,000 per month, depending on experience

- A new, more competitive sales incentive plan launching for 2027

- Excellent worldwide health cover

- A product clients welcome, in a market that is only just opening up

- A seat in the senior layer of a small, supportive, non-political sales team

- Results over hours: office based, with freedom to be out with clients when it counts

What will you be doing

- Winning new corporate clients in Dubai

- Using your network of HR, Finance and C-level contacts to open doors

- Explaining the alternative end of service scheme and the UAE legislation behind it

- Managing clients from first meeting through onboarding, then handing over to the client experience team

- Selling to companies of every size, from small firms to large groups

- Helping raise the bar for the wider team as part of the senior layer

What do you need

- An established network of corporate clients

- Broker experience is a strong advantage

- A track record of winning and growing B2B relationships face to face

- At least one multi-year stint somewhere in your career
