ATAYA is a new company based in Kuwait which is set up to supply British luxury goods and bespoke gifts into the high end Kuwaiti market. ATAYA is being assisted by Barnard and Westwood, an established Fine Printer and Bookbinder who specialise in bespoke printing and bookbinding services, using traditional methods and hold two Royal Warrants.
Barnard and Westwood’s MD and other senior staff are assisting in the opening of the Office in Kuwait and as part of this process are recruiting an exceptional sales/marketing person to work from the ATAYA Kuwait Office as the VIP Projects Manager.
The ideal candidate will be dynamic and forward thinking with ideally sales experience. The post will be in an exciting, busy, and fast paced environment, where the ability to work as part of our close team is essential.
Your key responsibility will be to help identify prospects and win new business from them. You will be expected to focus on potential clients that are mainly based in Kuwait.
You will be introduced to many UHNW contacts that have expressed interest in the new range of personalised items to be produced in the UK and then delivered to the customer.
As well as a sales/marketing role you will be expected to spend time learning about the products produced by the small number of supplier businesses in the UK. In addition, you will lead the setting up of the company website and other assets used for promotion of the business.
You must possess excellent communications skills, being articulate via both the phone and face to face. To be successful in the role you will need to be a self-starter requiring a high degree of energy and the ability to develop creative solutions to customers’ problems.
From new business obtained and maintaining a relationship with the customer, it is envisaged that the role will be very social with working hours suited to networking and then office time to deliver enquiries and orders. Your input will directly impact the growth of the business and therefore your personal reward.
A knowledge of Arabic customs and language would be an advantage but not essential.
