About the role

We're a SaaS company building easy-to-use software for small and mid-sized freight forwarders, and we're scaling fast across the Gulf.

We're looking for a Head of Sales to own revenue — build the playbook, lead and grow the inside sales team, and deliver aggressive subscription targets. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll sell, coach, and build the machine from the ground up.

What you'll do

  • Own the revenue number — set targets, forecast accurately and deliver predictable subscription growth
  • Build and refine the sales playbook (prospecting, qualifying, demos, closing) and the process in the CRM
  • Hire, onboard, coach and develop a team of inside sales executives
  • Run pipeline reviews, set KPIs and hold the team accountable to activity and outcomes
  • Stay close to deals — jump on key calls and demos and help close
  • Partner with marketing to improve lead quality and conversion, and with product to feed back customer needs
  • Design commission structures that drive the right behaviour

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years in B2B SaaS sales, including 2+ in a team-lead or management role
  • A proven track record of hitting and exceeding revenue targets
  • Strong coaching skills — you make reps measurably better
  • Data-driven pipeline and forecast management
  • Excellent business English; confident with owners and decision-makers
  • Comfortable in a fast-moving, build-from-scratch environment

Nice to have

  • Arabic language skills
  • Experience in logistics, freight forwarding, or supply chain
  • Experience selling to SMB customers in the GCC
  • Experience building a sales team from an early stage

What we offer

  • Competitive base plus uncapped commission and leadership incentives
  • Real ownership of the sales function and go-to-market strategy
  • A foundational leadership role with significant growth as we scale
  • The tools and budget to build a winning team
  • Flexible working with hours aligned to our UAE customers
