Senior Business Development Executive – Influencer Marketing.

Senior Sales & Partnerships Executive – Influencer & Creator Solutions
Location: Remote
Department: Partnerships
Employment Type: Full-Time
Reporting To: Head of Partnerships
About QYUBIC
QYUBIC is a performance-led digital commerce and partnerships company helping brands across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, GCC and wider MENA drive customer acquisition, sales and measurable growth.
Our solutions include creator partnerships, affiliate marketing, coupons & savings, rewards, CaaS and performance marketing.
QYUBIC X (QX) is our creator performance business, helping brands build measurable creator partnerships through sourcing, recruitment, management, tracking and optimisation.
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced B2B sales and partnerships professional to grow QYUBIC's commercial partnerships across GCC and MENA.
Sales and business development is the primary focus of this role. You will prospect and identify brands, engage decision-makers, pitch influencer/creator partnership solutions, develop commercial proposals, negotiate terms and close new business.
You will primarily work on QYUBIC X (QX) across:
QX Performance
QX Pure Barter
Depending on business priorities, you may also support Affiliate/CPS, Coupons & Savings, CaaS, CPA/CPI and other QYUBIC performance solutions.
Experience in these additional models is an advantage, but not required. The core requirement is strong commercial experience selling influencer/creator partnerships to brands.
This is a sales and business development role — not a creator-management or campaign-execution role.
What You'll Do
Business Development
Identify and target high-potential brands across GCC/MENA.
Research brands, marketing activity and key decision-makers.
Generate opportunities through LinkedIn, email, outbound prospecting, referrals and networking.
Build and manage a qualified sales pipeline.
Sales & Partnerships
Conduct discovery meetings and understand brand marketing, growth and customer-acquisition objectives.
Pitch QX and other relevant QYUBIC solutions.
Develop tailored commercial proposals.
Communicate value, pricing, performance potential and commercial terms.
Build relationships with marketing, ecommerce, growth, partnerships and commercial decision-makers.
Negotiation & Closing
Lead commercial discussions and negotiations.
Handle objections and move opportunities forward.
Own the sales cycle from prospecting → discovery → proposal → negotiation → signed agreement.
Personally source, pitch, negotiate, and close new influencer/creator partnerships.
Work alongside the Head of Partnerships toward QX commercial targets.
Activation & Expansion
Support partnership launch and handover.
Work with Account Management and Operations to ensure successful activation.
Identify opportunities for additional campaigns, creators, placements, increased scope and long-term partnerships.
Pipeline Management
Maintain accurate CRM and pipeline data.
Track opportunity stage, commercial value, next action and expected close date.
Maintain reliable forecasts and share relevant market insights.
What We're Looking For
Must Have
3+ years of B2B sales, business development or partnerships experience.
2+ years of direct commercial sales experience selling influencer/creator partnerships or services.
Proven experience personally sourcing, pitching, negotiating and closing influencer/creator partnerships with brands or agencies.
Experience owning the full sales cycle from prospecting through signed agreement.
Strong understanding of influencer/creator marketing and how brands use creators to drive awareness, customer acquisition and sales.
Strong presentation, negotiation and relationship-building skills.
Experience selling to brands, agencies or marketing decision-makers.
Excellent English communication skills.
GCC/MENA sales experience strongly preferred.
Strong Advantage
Experience selling performance-based influencer/creator marketing services or platforms.
Experience with Affiliate/CPS, CPA/CPI, CaaS, coupons, rewards or other performance-based solutions.
Existing network of brand, agency, marketing, ecommerce, growth or partnership decision-makers across GCC/MENA.
Experience selling recurring, retainer or performance-based commercial models.
Understanding of creator or affiliate tracking and attribution.
Who We're Looking For
Someone who:
Enjoys hunting, selling and closing new business.
Can independently build, manage and convert a qualified sales pipeline.
Is comfortable approaching senior decision-makers.
Can translate a brand objective into the right commercial solution.
Is confident discussing pricing, ROI, performance and commercial terms.
Takes ownership from first conversation through closure and expansion.
Can work independently in a fast-moving, target-driven environment.
This Role Is Not For
This role is not for candidates whose experience is primarily limited to:
Creator/influencer campaign execution
Social media management
Creator relationship management without sales ownership
Account management without new-business sales
Affiliate operations without partner acquisition
Lead generation without closing responsibility
We want someone who can sell influencer and creator partnerships — not simply manage them.
