Regional Partnership Manager

Open first conversations with government-linked entities and industrial partners in the Gulf. Build toward long-term local partnership structures rather than direct sales. Operate as an early entry point for a company building its presence in the region. Work closely with a separate business development lead who owns the commercial sell. Travel frequently across the Gulf to build and maintain senior relationships.

Experience opening partnership or market-access conversations in the Gulf region. Comfort engaging senior government-linked stakeholders without a large local entity behind you.
