Managing Director – Middle East (Dubai)
Dubai | Property Investment | Market Launch
We are supporting an international property investment brand as it launches its first overseas operation in Dubai. The business is seeking a Managing Director to build and scale the Middle East division from the ground up.
This role suits a senior commercial leader with a strong investment-sales background, able to originate opportunities, motivate a high-performing team, and drive growth in a fast-moving environment.
The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to establish and lead a new regional business with full autonomy. You’ll set the culture, hire and develop a large sales team, build investor relationships, and drive deal flow across both buy-side and sell-side.
Success depends on understanding both sides of the transaction: balancing seller urgency with investor value. We’re looking for someone who thrives on momentum, negotiation, and “threading the needle” in every deal.
Key Responsibilities
• Build and lead a high-energy commercial team
• Drive origination and structure investment-led property opportunities
• Develop relationships with investors, developers and introducers
• Lead from the front on high-value transactions
• Own regional revenue growth and commercial performance
• Establish the Dubai office and market presence
What We’re Looking For
• Senior background in property investment sales, wealth advisory or off-plan investment
• Strong experience closing deals with investors or family offices
• Ability to recruit, inspire and scale a motivated sales team
• Confident operating autonomously in a new-market buildout
• Natural deal-maker with energy, pace and commercial instinct
• UAE experience or transferable network from a major investment hub
Package
• Base salary: £125,000 to £175,000
• OTE: £200,000 to £250,000
(Approx. AED 575,000 to 805,000 base, AED 920,000 to 1,150,000 OTE)
• Attractive bonus structure and earning potential
• Visa, medical, flights and relocation support

If you’re a senior sales leader who builds teams, drives deal flow and thrives on autonomy, this could be a standout next step.
