Business development executive

Abu Dhabi, AZ, United Arab Emirates

Breath Medical Equipment & Apparatuses is hiring a Business Development Executive to open new markets and build long-term commercial partnerships. While our sales team closes day-to-day deals, your job is to create the opportunities behind them — new accounts, new segments, new distribution and supplier relationships.

You will identify hospital groups, clinic chains, home-care providers, and institutional buyers; get us onto their approved-vendor lists; and turn first meetings into framework agreements. It suits someone strategic and persistent who enjoys the long game as much as the quick win.

Responsibilities
  • Map the UAE healthcare market and identify high-potential accounts and segments
  • Initiate and lead vendor registrations with hospital groups, government entities, and purchasing organizations
  • Develop partnerships with manufacturers, distributors, and complementary suppliers
  • Negotiate framework agreements, pricing structures, and supply contracts
  • Represent Breath Medical at exhibitions, conferences, and industry events
  • Hand over qualified accounts to the sales team with clear context and next steps
  • Report pipeline, conversion, and market insights to management monthly
Must have
  • 3+ years in business development, key accounts, or commercial roles — healthcare, medical devices, or pharma preferred
  • Track record of opening new accounts or markets, not just servicing existing ones
  • Strong negotiation and proposal-writing skills
  • Fluent English; polished, professional communication
  • UAE market experience and a valid UAE driving license
Nice to have
  • Arabic language skills
  • Relationships with hospital procurement or government health entities
  • Experience with vendor prequalification and approved-supplier processes
  • Understanding of medical device regulations in the UAE
  • Exposure to distribution or agency agreements
What's great about this job
  • You shape where the company grows next — real influence on strategy
  • Performance incentives tied to the accounts and agreements you land
  • Direct access to management; short decision cycles
  • A credible, certified product portfolio that procurement teams take seriously
