As a Sales Development Specialist you will:

• Own the top of the merchant acquisition funnel

• Identify and reach out to potential merchants we can acquire in UAE/KSA.

• Research and maintain a lead generation pipeline and database

• Develop a strong knowledge of Nomod’s features as well as our competition’s products and features, to facilitate the sales process

• Have regular opportunities for career growth. We’re growing quickly and are forming new teams as we do. We have a bias towards internal promotion into leadership roles

• Ensure that everyone is blown away with their Nomod experience

You’ll experience what it is like to work in a fun, entrepreneurial, and high growth startup!

What we’d like

You do not need to be intimately familiar with any of the technologies that we work with. Great people are effective at quickly learning what we use or introduce us to new ways of working.

Having said that, we think a Sales Development Specialist should:

• Have between two to three years of prior top of the funnel experience, generating small and medium business leads leads

• Have incredible resilience, a million No’s, will eventually lead to a Yes!

• Have exceptional written and verbal skills in English and Arabic.

• Have the ability to quickly build a rapport and see things from the perspective of our users

• Have lots of energy, be proactive, think fast, and revel in solving problems

• Enjoy building relationships with people, and have excellent interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence

• Chrome, Arc, Gmail, Google Docs, and similar web tools are second nature

• Be creative, innovative, and data driven

• Deliver no matter what it takes

• Have the ability to thrive in a fully remote, distributed organisation

• Be lots of fun to work with!

Nice to haves

• Prior experience at a high growth startup or at an established fintech firm

• Fluency in other languages in addition to English and Arabic

• Experience working with a remote, global, multicultural team

What you’ll get

• As a Sales Development Specialist you will receive:

• Your choice of equipment

• Competitive pay

• Access to our upcoming ESOP

• Incredible co-workers (yep, really!)
