Hiring a Business Development Manager in Doha A Business Development Manager in Doha's interior design and fit-out sector typically owns the full sales cycle: identifying developers, contractors and architects as targets, building a pipeline of commercial, hospitality and residential projects, and closing contracts alongside internal design and estimation teams. The role sits close to Qatar's active construction and hospitality development cycle, so strong local relationships and a working knowledge of tender activity matter as much as sales technique. Firms hiring into this seat are usually scaling their project book and need someone who can convert relationships into signed work, not just generate leads. Common questions
