We are a consultancy specializing in data protection compliance across the Gulf region, serving clients in five of the six GCC countries. Our diverse team includes UK, Lebanese, Emirati, and Saudi nationals who provide services both remotely and occasionally on-site. Having grown primarily through word of mouth, a weekly newsletter, LinkedIn posts, and several free webinars annually, we are now aiming to develop a strategic marketing approach to broaden our reach. With a website refresh underway and new products in development, we seek a marketing professional to analyze our business, collaborate with our team weekly, and create a practical roadmap to promote our niche consultancy services effectively.

Key Responsibilities:
- Conduct a comprehensive assessment of the current business model and marketing initiatives.

- Provide expert advice on selecting and utilizing relevant marketing and sales tools such as LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, and similar platforms.
- Initially offer consultancy services on an hourly basis, with the potential to transition into a salaried role with commission based on the execution of the marketing plan.
- Dedicate approximately 8 hours per week for a minimum of three months, including participation in scheduled meetings for collaboration and progress evaluation.

Required Qualifications:
- At least one year of experience in business development.
- Demonstrated success in selling consultancy services rather than tangible products.
- Minimum one year of experience selling within sectors such as Cyber Security, Technology, IT, Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC), or Legal Services.
- Experience working in at least one Middle Eastern market.
- Fluency in spoken and written Gulf Arabic, distinct from Quranic, Egyptian, or Moroccan dialects.
- Strong command of English, with the ability to leverage AI tools to produce high-quality, error-free written communication.
- Proficiency in a range of sales and marketing tools, with the capability to recommend the most effective solutions for our business needs.

Preferred Qualifications and Benefits:
- Flexibility to work remotely with the ability to manage tasks independently.
- Competitive hourly rate during the initial consultancy phase.
- Opportunity for ongoing employment on a salary plus commission basis, contingent on the quality and feasibility of the marketing strategy developed.
- The chance to contribute to a growing consultancy with a unique niche in the Gulf region’s data protection compliance market.

This role presents a unique opportunity to shape the marketing strategy of a specialized consultancy with an established client base and promising growth potential. Candidates with relevant experience and language skills who are motivated to develop and execute a targeted marketing plan are encouraged to apply.
