A role inside a growing company with regional ambitions. Direct exposure to senior leadership shaping Gulf market entry.</p><p>A Business Development Manager selling into Ministry of Defence procurement in Qatar typically owns the full cycle: opening the relationship, shaping the bid, and carrying it through to contract signature. This is a specialist track within defence business development, distinct from broader aerospace or civil-aviation sales, and it rewards people who can point to a named deal they personally closed rather than a pipeline they helped build. Gulf governments are expanding domestic and imported defence capability, and manufacturers entering these markets are hiring locally-minded, procurement-literate business developers market by market rather than covering the region from one seat.</p><p><strong>Desired Candidate Profile</strong></p><p>5+ years business development, sales or procurement experience in defence. A demonstrated closed deal: named ministry, value and timeline. Fluent English; Arabic is a genuine advantage, not required. Comfort with frequent regional and international travel.
