Business Development Manager – Partnerships

Anghami, the Arab world's leading force in Media Publishing & Entertainment, is seeking a driven and commercially sharp Business Development Manager to spearhead strategic partnerships across the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

As the pioneering music streaming platform in the MENA region — and the first Arab tech company listed on NASDAQ — Anghami is scaling its commercial partnerships across both its flagship platform and OSN+, and is looking for a dealmaker who thrives in fast-moving, high-impact environments.

This is a predominantly sales-driven role (60–70% deal-closing focus), where you will own the full partnership lifecycle: identifying and qualifying opportunities, building and managing a robust pipeline, structuring commercial models, and independently closing deals in the $20K–$40K range.

You will target key verticals including retail, banking, fintech, and e-commerce — driving subscriber growth and revenue through innovative bundling, co-marketing, and distribution agreements. You will be accountable for hard revenue and subscriber metrics, pipeline forecasting, and GTM execution across your territory.

• This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of technology, culture, and commerce — shaping how millions of listeners across the Arab world access music and audio content.
• You will work with a passionate, mission-driven team and enjoy the visibility and autonomy that comes with a senior commercial role at a NASDAQ-listed regional tech champion.
• If you are a self-starter with deep GCC market knowledge and a proven track record of closing complex B2B deals, we want to hear from you.
• Proven track record in closing enterprise-level deals within the MENA region
• Familiarity with digital media/entertainment industry trends and key players
• Experience managing cross-functional teams for partnership execution
• Fluency in Arabic alongside professional proficiency in English
• Prior success in scaling commercial partnerships in tech or SaaS sectors
• Nice to have
• Arabic/English bilingualism (mandatory for KSA-based candidates, strongly preferred for UAE)
• Experience in OTT, digital streaming, or subscription-based business models
• Background in e-commerce, fintech, or banking partnership ecosystems
• Familiarity with bundling and co-marketing deal structures in the GCCExisting network across retail, banking, or fintech verticals in the UAE and/or KSA
