This is a high-impact, autonomous role with ownership of a strategic territory.
You’ll navigate intricate decision-making processes, educate C-suite stakeholders, and position Cohere as a trusted AI partner.
Your insights will directly shape our product evolution and help prioritize features that drive enterprise adoption.
As the voice of the field, you will partner with Product and Engineering to ensure customer-centric alignment.
This role requires someone who thrives in a fast-moving, evolving environment.
The opportunity for impact is immense; Cohere’s potential in UAE is significant, and you will play a pivotal role in unlocking it.

- A consistent track record of high performance and exceeding quota in high-growth or early-stage environments
- Experience selling complex enterprise technology solutions, developer platforms, private deployments, or AI/NLP products (preferred)
- Deep relationships with senior executives across UAE enterprises, telcos, banks, ministries, or sovereign entities
- Experience working with channel partners to drive sales cycles and hit shared revenue goals
- High tolerance for ambiguity - as an early sales team member, you’ll have to be a doer and a strategist
- Strong organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple internal and external stakeholders across fast-moving deals
- Creativity - deal structures can widely vary, strong technical acumen and the ability to creatively structure mutually beneficial partnerships are necessary
- Excellent communication skills; you listen deeply, understand what matters to senior decision-makers, and confidently present to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Experience managing business in nearby geographic regions
- Arabic and English language proficiency
- If some of the above doesn’t line up perfectly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply!
