Job description / Role
BD Specialist - Professional Services
Charterhouse is working with a well-known international law firm based in Dubai that has a strong presence in the Middle East and is looking to hire an experienced BD Specialist to join its team on a permanent basis.
As BD Specialist, you will be required to take a lead on business development initiatives and programs for the Middle East region. You will also be required to think outside the box and generate ideas for projects which you will see through from concept to delivery. Additionally, you will be responsible for winning new business and promoting the brand by implementing new strategies and marketing initiatives. You will be expected to be hands on with pitches, RFPs and directory submissions, although there will be support for the more basic duties.
Requirements
The successful candidate should be highly proactive and forward thinking. You should have a creative personality and be confident implementing ideas when communicating with senior management. Previous law firm experience would be an advantage, but experience of professional services, dealing with high value clients is essential for this position. Due to the nature of the role, our client has stated a preference for Western qualified candidates with Middle East experience.
About the Company
The Charterhouse brand and business was launched in Dubai and the Middle East in April 2004 by a team of international recruiters and management consultants, after its inception in Sydney, Australia in September 2003. Charterhouse Middle East is now positioned as the leading regional recruiter within its area of disciplines and functional markets.
Charterhouse offers professional and bespoke contingency and retained search services to all sectors of the market. Service quality is guaranteed, thanks to a particular focus on flexibility. Charterhouse was the first international search and selection business to establish Dubai as its base. The growth in the Middle East region has been mirrored by Charterhouse globally, with offices now in Qatar, Hong Kong, Singapore, Melbourne and Sydney.
