Job details
Job Purpose
To transform the business by optimizing internal and external business operation and performance, cutting waste, streamlining hierarchy and roles, developing new clientele, and ultimately increasing profitability.
Job Context
MC Interiors and Decor has operated in the UAE commercial and domestic building industry for over 41 years. We have garnered a solid reputation for quality workmanship and competitive pricing, and today boast of dozens of large and medium scale projects across the UAE and UK, from high-end restaurants, and 7-star hotels, to international banks, local offices, private homes and retail space. Currently we employ 40+ carpenters and machinists, 10+ painters, upholsterers, decorators, drivers, designers, project managers, and in house office staff.
We know that despite our successes to date, there is large room for growth and solidification of the business in the market. Therefore we are looking for an energetic, confident and reform minded Business Development Manager who can propel the business into its next stage of evolution. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Reforming organizational hierarchy
- Cutting waste and unnecessary expenditure
- Hiring of beneficial personnel/posts and dismissal of unproductive posts
- Streamlining Operations and Purchasing
- Bringing in new business and building new client relationships
- Modernising accounts keeping
- Incentivising employees, redesigning HR framework, and increasing employee satisfaction
- Chasing late payments from clients and other debtors (a perennial issue with SME's in the MENA region)
This means that you will take on the sole responsibility of planning and directing the reform of the whole business. You will be given full authority to implement reforms which you consider beneficial to the business, both in structure and operation. You will report only to the Owner/CEO directly, and deliver progress reports to him on a weekly and monthly basis. Your performance will also be periodically independently reviewed.
We do not require specific technical expertise or experience in commercial and domestic building, as you will learn that on the job.
To incentivise this reform and growth, we will give you Performance Pay rises tied to any increases in net profit %, above your base pay. This means that the more profitable you make the business, the more salary you take home. 25% yearly additional net profit means 25% of your yearly base pay paid out as a bonus to you that year.
You will directly manage 3-5 individuals, including the Purchasing Officer, the Head Accountant, the Public Relations Officer, and the Head Salesman. In addition to these you will also be the 'go-to end person' for a number of other staff, such as designers, foremen, and factory employees.
Potential is more important to us than experience.
So, if you are a confident, independent problem solver and reformer who can take on this responsibility, we would love to hear from you.
