Sales Representative (Events)

We are an international event agency specialising in high-level corporate and industry events, supporting clients with concept development, production, and execution in a joined venture with a well-established Saudi partner expanding into the Saudi Arabian market, with a focus on delivering high-quality, events across the MICE industry, driven by innovation & technology.

As we establish our presence in Saudi Arabia, we are looking for a driven and well-connected professional to help build our network, develop business opportunities, and shape our local operations from the ground up.

To support this expansion, we are looking for a well-connected, entrepreneurial professional who can act as a hybrid between Sales, Industry Relations, and Event Management[MH1] .

This is not a traditional role — it is an opportunity to open doors, build relationships, and execute events in one of the most dynamic markets globally.

Working closely with international teams, the role will contribute to client acquisition, strategic positioning, and the successful delivery of events, ensuring sustainable growth and long-term partnerships.

Your Mission

• Act as the local face and representative of our venture in Saudi Arabia
• Drive business development and market entry activities across Saudi Arabia
• Leverage your network to unlock opportunities across corporate and institutional sectors
• Build and maintain senior-level relationships with corporate and institutional stakeholders
• Drive business development and client acquisition
• Identify, qualify, and convert new business opportunities
• Oversee and support the execution of events from concept to delivery
• Serve as the interface between clients, partners, and international teams
• Identify, qualify, and convert new business opportunities
• Represent the company as a trusted and credible market ambassador

What We Offer

• A unique market-entry role with real impact and visibility
• Opportunity to shape a new business in Saudi Arabia from the ground up
• Close collaboration between local partner and Europe
• High level of autonomy and responsibility
• Competitive compensation with performance-based incentives

 [MH1]We could also omit the hybrid role from the job posting and focus on sales and industry relations. That would make the candidate profile less complex. On the other hand, it describes the job requirements very precisely, because the person we’re looking for must, of course, also handle event management.

 [MH2]With this wording, we are leaving open for now whether we are looking for a Saudi national or someone of any other nationality

 [MH3]I'm not sure if we should name a specific institution, but we need to make it clear that an advanced degree with an international perspective is required
