Manager Strategic Partnerships

Company Description

NEXTLEAP Group is an elite orchestration engine driving the next frontier of digital transformation in the GCC. We operate a high-velocity operational corridor connecting a curated consortium of 100+ vetted European Tech Scale-ups directly to the Middle East’s most ambitious Giga-projects.

We don't just "deliver solutions"; we provide Business Sovereignty. By decoupling strategy from execution, we empower Master Developers and Institutional Investors to maintain absolute control over their multi-billion dollar portfolios through proven, data-driven technology. NEXTLEAP is where European innovation meets GCC ambition.

This is not a traditional sales role; it is a position for an Architect of Alliances. As a Strategic Alliance Partner based in the UAE, you will act as the vital bridge between our vetted technological "Engine" and the region’s Tier-1 decision-makers.

Your mission is to leverage your deep institutional memory and established "Wasta" to orchestrate high-level tech adoptions within the real estate, infrastructure, and investment sectors. You will navigate the C-suites of major developers (Emaar, Aldar, Damac, Nakheel) and Private Offices, aligning our tech-stack with their long-term visions of efficiency and sustainable growth.

Key Focus: Orchestrating "Business Sovereignty" through AI-driven asset management, FinTech infrastructure, and PropTech optimization.

• Orchestration: Identify and penetrate C-level opportunities within the GCC’s Master Developers and Government Entities.
• Strategic Relationship Management: Maintain and deepen elite-level professional bonds, ensuring NEXTLEAP remains the trusted partner for innovation.
• Sovereignty Advocacy: Present our framework not as "software," but as a strategic asset for organizational control and revenue optimization.
• Market Intelligence: Analyze regional Giga-project trends to align our tech-consortium with the specific needs of the Abu Dhabi and Dubai 2030 visions.
• Performance-Driven Execution: Negotiate and close high-value framework agreements that drive mutual, long-term success.

• The Network: 10+ years of high-ticket experience in the UAE/GCC Real Estate or Strategic Consulting sector. A "Black Book" of C-level contacts is mandatory.
• Institutional Memory: Deep understanding of the local business environment, cultural nuances, and the "Wasta" system.
• Strategic Mindset: Proven ability to assess complex market trends and turn them into actionable investment opportunities.
• Communication Mastery: Exceptional negotiation and presentation skills, capable of commanding a boardroom.
• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business, Finance, or a related field (Ph.D. or MBA is a significant advantage).
• Language: Fluency in English is required; Arabic is a prestigious advantage.

• Access to an exclusive, pre-vetted portfolio of 100+ global tech leaders.
• A High-Split Performance Model with uncapped earning potential, reflecting the scale of GCC Giga-contracts.
• The prestige of leading the "Business Sovereignty" movement in the Middle East.
• Full strategic and back-office support from the NEXTLEAP execution team.
