At Catchers, we are a pioneering influencer marketing agency based in Riyadh, partnering with global and regional brands such as Gucci, Dyson, STC, Ounass, Mercedes-Benz, and YSL to deliver transformative, authentic campaigns across 14+ countries. We are committed to revolutionizing influencer marketing in Saudi Arabia and beyond, and we are seeking a dynamic and results-driven Business Development Specialist to join our team and play a pivotal role in expanding our client portfolio and market presence.

This position is ideal for a strategic thinker with a passion for business growth, proposal development, and relationship management. You will leverage your commercial acumen, market insights, and relationship-building skills to identify new opportunities, manage high-stakes tenders, and drive revenue growth in a fast-paced, innovative environment.

Key Responsibilities

As a Business Development Specialist at Catchers, your responsibilities will include:

• Tender and Proposal Management: Lead the submission process for tenders on the Etimad platform, ensuring full compliance with client requirements and company standards. Craft compelling, data-driven technical and financial proposals that align with client objectives while positioning Catchers as the preferred partner in the market. Maintain a streamlined archive of past proposals, company profiles, certifications, and pre-qualification documents to facilitate rapid reuse and enhance efficiency.
• Strategic Business Growth: Proactively identify and pursue new business opportunities to diversify our client base and revenue streams. Conduct in-depth market research to uncover emerging trends, competitor strategies, and untapped opportunities within the Saudi influencer and digital media landscape. Generate high-quality leads through targeted outreach—both cold and warm—ensuring a robust pipeline of potential partnerships. Attend industry events, client meetings, and networking forums to build meaningful connections and strengthen our market position.
• Client Relationships and Engagement: Foster long-term, trust-based relationships with clients and stakeholders, focusing on retention and repeat business. Support client meetings, pitches, and presentations, while managing expectations throughout the engagement lifecycle. Communicate professionally and effectively in both Arabic and English, ensuring clarity and impact in all written and verbal interactions, including emails, proposals, and follow-ups.
• Collaboration and Reporting: Collaborate closely with internal teams—including creative, marketing, and operations—to develop tailored solutions that meet client needs. Maintain meticulous records of leads, tenders, submissions, and deadlines using CRM or structured tracking systems. Represent Catchers with professionalism in all external interactions, embodying our brand values and commitment to excellence.

• A Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Public Relations, Marketing, or a related field.
• At least 2–3 years of relevant experience in business development, sales, or a similar role, with a proven track record of driving growth and closing deals. Familiarity with public sector procurement processes—or experience working with governmental or semi-governmental clients in Saudi Arabia—is a significant advantage, though not mandatory.
• Strong proposal writing skills, with the ability to craft persuasive, technically sound, and financially robust documents that resonate with clients.
• A commercially minded approach, coupled with a results-driven mindset and a keen eye for targets and KPIs.
• Excellent market research and analytical abilities, enabling you to identify opportunities, assess risks, and develop data-backed strategies.

• A proactive, ownership-driven attitude, where you take full responsibility for leads and opportunities from initial contact through to successful closure, ensuring consistent follow-through.
• Highly organized with a keen attention to detail, ensuring all deadlines and deliverables are met with precision.
• A commitment to discretion and professionalism, particularly when handling sensitive client information and pricing discussions.
• A genuine passion for influencer marketing, digital media, and the evolving Saudi content creator ecosystem, with an eagerness to contribute to industry innovation.
