About Kimans Metering

Kimans Metering is a specialist manufacturer of smart metering solutions flow, thermal energy (BTU), water and energy meters, smart valves and connectivity software with over 50 years of engineering heritage and a global utility and industrial client base.

We compete on precision, reliability and the ability to tailor solutions to a client’s exact application.

We are opening a dedicated commercial front in Saudi Arabia, and are looking for a senior, self-driven business developer to build it from the ground up.

The Role

Own and drive Kimans’ commercial growth in Saudi Arabia nationwide, all regions by building a high-performing ecosystem of distributors, channel partners, integrators and service partners; securing spec-in and brand approval with key engineering consultants and stakeholders; and generating demand with developers, district cooling players, utilities and contractors. You will operate as a senior individual contributor with the backing of the regional Dubai office for pre-sales, technical and marketing support.

Product Scope

Responsible for the growth of all Kimans Metering products and solutions, including (but not limited to) thermal energy/BTU metering, water metering, AMR/reading solutions, software/billing platforms, smart valves and related accessories/services.

What You'Ll Own

  • KSA growth ownership: Build and execute an annual KSA go-to-market plan targets, account focus, partner strategy and quarterly milestones with ownership of activity and coverage across all regions.
  • Channel & partner ecosystem: Identify, recruit, onboard and activate distributors, channel partners, integrators and service partners across KSA, including training, joint customer visits, technical alignment, lead flow and quarterly performance reviews. Signing a partner is the start, not the goal activation and repeat ordering are what matter.
  • Consultant approvals & specification strategy: Drive Kimans’ inclusion in consultant specifications and approved-vendor lists. You will define and justify the “must-win” consultant list as part of your plan, supported by clear market logic (portfolio influence, project value, tender control, geographic coverage), and manage the technical/commercial presentations and documentation required.
  • Demand generation & market awareness: Build Kimans’ visibility with developers, district cooling operators/project owners, utilities, contractors and other decision-makers. Represent Kimans at exhibitions, conferences and technical events, converting leads into qualified opportunities.
  • Opportunity & deal execution: Build and manage a robust pipeline from prospecting through negotiation and close, with commercial authority to approve pricing/discounts and payment terms within company policy and profitability guidelines. Coordinate internal support from the Dubai regional office as needed.
  • CRM, reporting & forecasting discipline: Maintain accurate CRM records for accounts, partner activity, consultant approvals, meetings and opportunities, with weekly/monthly reporting on pipeline, forecast, key account progress and partner performance.

Success Measures (Kpis)

  • Annual revenue target (to be discussed with management)
  • Pipeline quality and accuracy, stage health, conversion, forecast accuracy
  • Strategic partner activation and partner-generated opportunity flow
  • Consultant approvals / specification wins, tracked and evidenced
  • Your Plan for the Role
  • As part of your application, include a brief outline of how you would approach your first 90 days and first year: the markets and consultants you’d prioritize, the distributors you’d target, and the timeline you believe is realistic based on your own experience in KSA.
  • This tells us how you think, and lets us build the milestones together from your perspective rather than ours.

Who You Are

  • Strong track record building markets and closing project-based B2B deals in KSA, typically 8–12+ years, ideally in metering, instrumentation, flow/HVAC, water, building products or MEP-specified equipment.
  • Demonstrated success working through distributors/channel partners and influencing consultants/specifications with specific, nameable results (which partners, which regions, what happened to order volume).
  • Experience selling into developers, district cooling operators and utilities is highly preferred.
  • Working knowledge of the approved-vendor / spec-in process in KSA.
  • Strong negotiation and commercial acumen; capable of owning pricing and payment terms decisions responsibly.
  • Fluent Arabic (mandatory) and strong English communication skills.
  • Willingness and practical ability to travel extensively across KSA.

How To Apply

  • Send your CV to [email protected] citing role: Senior Business Development Manager – KSA along with a short note covering:
  • Your proposed approach for the first 90 days and Year 1 in this role which consultants, distributors and markets you’d prioritize, and the timeline you’d set for yourself.
  • The specific distributors, consultants or clients in KSA you already have working relationships with.
  • Strong applications will be specific naming the consultants, distributors and steps you’d take.
  • We look forward to hearing from you.
