Job Description

Role Overview

  • This role exists to grow revenue across an already-established OOH portfolio by developing new business from direct clients and media agencies, managing key accounts, and maintaining strong occupancy across the company's inventory.
  • You'll be stepping into a competitive, mature UAE OOH market. This isn't a market-building role; it's a revenue-growth role, so the company needs someone who can hit the ground running: someone who already understands this market, already has an active network of direct-client and agency relationships, and is ready to convert that network into signed deals from day one.

Key Responsibilities

  • Generate new business across the company's outdoor advertising portfolio
  • Manage and grow a portfolio of key accounts
  • Meet with direct clients and media agencies to identify and develop new opportunities
  • Prepare and present commercial proposals
  • Negotiate and close deals
  • Coordinate campaign execution with the operations team
  • Cross-sell across the full range of advertising assets
  • Represent the company at industry and networking events
  • Monitor competitor activity and market trends

Requirements

Critical Requirements

  • 6–10 years of total sales experience, including a minimum of 5 years of relevant Outdoor Advertising (OOH) sales experience in the UAE
  • Bachelor's degree holder
  • Proven track record selling hoardings, digital unipoles, digital media facades and/or premium OOH inventory
  • An existing, active database of direct-client relationships across sectors such as real estate, retail, jewellery, banking & financial services, automotive, telecom and currency exchange (specific accounts to be discussed at interview stage)
  • Established relationships with major local and international media agencies
  • English required; Hindi preferred; Arabic is an advantage
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint) and CRM systems
  • Must have their own car

Important Requirements

  • Strong proposal-writing and client presentation skills
  • High energy and resilience, with the confidence to negotiate firmly and push back when needed
  • Agile, out-of-the-box thinker who is comfortable in a fast-paced, target-driven, competitive sales environment
  • Personable and relationship-driven, with a professional, presentable manner in front of senior stakeholders

Nice to Have Requirements

  • Experience with RTA media or other premium, large-budget OOH inventory
  • Track record managing large annual advertising budgets
