About the role
S.AI.L is looking for an AI Relations Manager to build and grow our client base across the Middle East and North Africa.

What you will do
Identify, qualify, and develop relationships with C-suite and senior executive buyers at large enterprise organisations across the MENA region
Develop a pipeline of AI transformation advisory opportunities across target sectors including energy, financial services, government, and logistics
Lead initial client conversations, articulate S.AI.L's value proposition, and translate complex business problems into scoped advisory engagements
Work with Principal AI Consultants to develop proposals, and support the closing of commercial agreements
Build and maintain a strong professional network in the MENA AI, digital transformation, and consulting ecosystem
Represent S.AI.L at industry events and in public forums as appropriate across the region
Provide market intelligence to help shape service positioning and MENA go-to-market strategy
What we are looking for
A proven track record of developing and closing complex, high-value advisory or consulting engagements with enterprise clients in the MENA region
Deep professional network across senior executive and C-suite buyers in the Gulf, Levant, or North Africa
Understanding of the regional business landscape including national AI strategies, sovereign investment priorities, and regulatory environments
Genuine understanding of enterprise AI, data, and digital transformation — you can hold a credible conversation about AI strategy with senior technical and business leaders
Experience in a consultancy, technology firm, or professional services environment
Eligibility to work in a MENA country without visa sponsorship
Arabic language skills are advantageous but not required
Compensation
This is a commission-based role. AI Relations Managers retain 70% of the net fees generated from engagements they originate and close. At target utilisation, this represents a material improvement over equivalent base-plus-bonus structures at traditional consulting firms. There is no upper cap on earnings
How we work
S.AI.L is a remote-first firm. You work from your country of citizenship or residency. We do not provide visa sponsorship. We are building toward a 50/50 gender-balanced team and actively encourage applications from underrepresented groups. All engagements are governed by our Code of Conduct and Responsible AI principles
