The posting
Our client is looking for a commercially sharp Business Development Manager to expand their Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) business across the Middle East.
This is a hunter-style role. We need someone who can spot genuine opportunities, push commercial conversations forward, and turn prospects into signed business. This is not a relationship-building or brand-representation position.
You will work with significant independence, make tough calls on which prospects to pursue, and be fully accountable for results.
What You'll Do
- Find, assess, and rank distributors, EPCs, and end customers across the Middle East
- Move prospects toward firm commercial commitments such as trial orders or purchase orders
- Cut loose leads that show no realistic path to a deal
- Manage the entire BD cycle: outreach → qualification → commercial negotiation → deal progression
- Build and maintain a well-organised, prioritised pipeline with clear next actions
- Partner closely with the CEO on strategy, pricing, and deal structuring
- Represent client professionally in meetings, at exhibitions, and with partners
What We're Looking For
- A proven track record of closing B2B deals, ideally in energy, power solutions, capital equipment, or infrastructure-related sectors
- Minimum diploma in Engineering, Energy, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- Sharp commercial judgment and strong decision-making skills
- Comfortable working with ambiguity and minimal structure
- Capable of working autonomously without close supervision
- Willing to be measured on outcomes rather than activity
- Middle East market experience is a plus, though not enough on its own
- Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation abilities
- Self-motivated, culturally flexible, and open to business travel
How We Measure Success
- Sound judgment in distinguishing strong leads from weak ones
- Confidence to ask for commercial commitment
- Ability to steer conversations toward decisions, not just interest
- A strong sense of ownership and urgency
- Visible pipeline movement and tangible deal progression Interested candidates who wish to apply for the advertisedposition, please click APPLY NOW or email an updated copy of your resume/cv.
