Head of Business Development — Logistics (Dubai / GCC)
We’re hiring a Head of Business Development to drive new business growth for a logistics company across the UAE and wider GCC. This is a senior, hands‑on role for someone who can win enterprise accounts, build a predictable pipeline, and grow strategic customers across freight, warehousing, and supply chain solutions.
What you’ll do- Own revenue growth across key verticals (FMCG, retail, industrial, automotive, pharma, e‑commerce)
- Win new customers for services such as:
- Contract logistics / warehousing
- Transportation & distribution (linehaul / last‑mile where relevant)
- Freight forwarding (air/sea) and customs clearance (if applicable)
- Value‑added services (kitting, labeling, returns, rework)
- Lead the full sales cycle: prospecting → discovery → solution design → pricing → proposal/tender → negotiation → close
- Build and manage a high‑quality pipeline with weekly forecasting and CRM discipline
- Handle RFPs/tenders and procurement‑led buying processes
- Work closely with operations to ensure solutions are deliverable, profitable, and scalable
- Grow key accounts post‑win (renewals, upsell, multi‑site expansion)
- Represent the business at industry events and customer meetings across the GCC
- Consistent pipeline creation and conversion (not just networking)
- Strong commercial control: margin protection, pricing strategy, contract terms
- Ability to sell complex solutions (multi‑site, multi‑service, SLA‑driven)
- Clear, data‑backed forecasting and reporting
- Strong stakeholder management (Ops, Finance, Legal, Procurement, C‑suite)
- Proven B2B business development leadership in logistics / supply chain (GCC experience preferred)
- Track record of winning and growing enterprise / mid‑market accounts
- Strong understanding of logistics cost drivers, SLAs, and operational constraints
- Confident in negotiation, tender responses, and complex contracting
- CRM‑first approach (pipeline hygiene, activity discipline, forecasting accuracy)
- High ownership, structured execution, and strong follow‑through
Skills
Nice to have- Existing network with shippers in UAE/KSA/GCC
- Experience selling into 3PL/4PL, retail distribution, e‑commerce fulfilment, or automotive supply chains
- Exposure to WMS/TMS‑driven solution selling
