Account Executive
About the role
About Pemo
Pemo is a spend management platform for SMEs across MENA, headquartered in DIFC, Dubai. Finance teams use Pemo for corporate cards, expense automation, bill pay, and accounting integrations in one place. We are backed by $18M+ from top investors, named in the Forbes ME Top 50, and scaling from $10M ARR towards $100M ARR. This role is on the front line of that growth.
The role
We are hiring an Account Executive in Dubai to close new business with UAE SMEs and mid-market companies. Your goal is to be a full-cycle AE: generate your own pipeline and close it - discovery, demo, proposal, negotiation, signature - not just work what is handed to you. The team runs well on inbound today; we are building a serious outbound muscle, and you will be part of that. You report to the CRO, and work with a BDR team that books meetings alongside your own prospecting.
We are building a very lean team. We would rather have one person doing the work of five - with the OTE to match - than five people doing the work of one. If you need warm leads spoon-fed and a manager checking your activity, this is not your role. If you want a real number, real ownership, and a team being built to a US SaaS standard, keep reading.
What you will do
- Close new ARR against a quota, owning the full cycle from first touch to signed contract
- Build and qualify your own pipeline through outbound - calls, email, LinkedIn - on top of inbound and BDR-booked meetings
- Run discovery and demos for two buyer types: founders and owners who run their own finances, and finance leaders (CFOs, Finance Controllers) in larger teams
- Win competitive deals against Alaan, Qashio, Pluto and Mamo, negotiating pricing and terms within approved bands
- Keep HubSpot accurate so your forecast is one the team can commit to - clean CRM is not optional here
- Hand every signed customer to Customer Success cleanly so they activate fast, and feed market intelligence back to Product and Marketing
