Job Objective

The Business Development Manager (BDM) — HR & Manpower Supply is a senior commercial role responsible for growing the company’s manpower contracting and human resources solutions business across Saudi Arabia’s most strategically significant industrial, energy, utilities, and medical / healthcare clients.

This role is designed for a seasoned HR and manpower supply professional who has spent their career within the HR contracting ecosystem — having worked with or competed against established global and regional manpower companies such as NES or comparable manpower contracting organizations.

The candidate must possess a thorough understanding of how large-scale workforce supply contracts are structured, tendered, negotiated, and managed.

The BDM will be the primary commercial engine of the organization — building and converting a robust pipeline of manpower supply opportunities across oil & gas, utilities, petrochemicals, mining, industrial, and medical / healthcare sectors; deepening relationships with key accounts; navigating the complex pre-qualification and vendor registration processes of Tier-1 Saudi clients; and ensuring the company’s workforce supply capabilities are positioned competitively in every sector it targets.

1. Business Development Strategy & Market Growth

  • Own and execute the company’s commercial growth strategy across Saudi Arabia’s HR and manpower supply market:
  • Design and implement a structured BD strategy targeting manpower supply opportunities across oil & gas, utilities, petrochemicals, mining, industrial, and medical / healthcare sectors throughout the Kingdom.
  • Identify, map, and prioritize new business opportunities with Tier-1 clients across energy, utilities, industrial, and healthcare / medical segments — as well as their EPC contractors and sub-contractors.
  • Lead vendor registration and pre-qualification efforts, preparing technical, financial, and compliance documentation required for Approved Vendor Lists (AVL).
  • Develop sector-specific BD plans with defined targets, timelines, win strategies, and competitive positioning for each major client account.
  • Monitor the Saudi market for upcoming manpower tenders, contract renewals, and mega-project announcements.

2. Manpower Contract Tendering & Proposal Management

  • Lead the full tendering lifecycle for manpower supply contracts:
  • Review and analyse RFPs and ITTs issued by major clients.
  • Coordinate with internal teams to develop compliant and competitive bids.
  • Prepare manpower proposals covering workforce mobilization, Saudization ratios, compensation structures, and SLAs.
  • Conduct commercial pricing analysis to ensure profitability and competitiveness.
  • Lead client presentations, clarifications, and negotiations through to award.
  • Maintain bid register and win/loss analysis.
  • 3.
  • Key Account Management — Strategic Tier-1 Clients
  • Serve as primary relationship owner for key accounts.
  • Maintain regular engagement with client HR, procurement, and contracts departments.
  • Develop account growth plans and expansion opportunities.
  • Manage contract performance with HR operations teams.
  • Handle variations, disputes, and rate negotiations.
  • Manage contract renewals proactively (6–9 months before expiry).

4. Workforce Sourcing Strategy & Recruitment Coordination

  • Work closely with recruitment teams on talent pipelines and mobilization timelines.
  • Provide market intelligence on compensation benchmarks and candidate availability.
  • Participate in workforce planning with clients.
  • Support large recruitment drives and onboarding processes, including compliance checks for clinical staff where applicable.

5. Strategic Partnerships, JVs & Sub-Contractor Relations

  • Identify and build consortiums or partnerships for large-scale contracts.
  • Manage relationships with overseas recruitment agencies and sourcing partners.
  • Represent the company at industry forums and events.

6. Pipeline Management, Reporting & Commercial Performance

  • Manage BD pipeline using CRM tools.
  • Prepare monthly and quarterly performance reports.
  • Manage BD budget including travel and client engagement.
  • Track ICV contribution metrics aligned with national programs.
