We launched in January 2025 in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and are live in production, processing real orders daily. We're hiring across product, engineering, and operations to scale what we've built.\nThe Opportunity\nWe're building Take In, a food delivery app based in the Eastern Province, and we're looking for a Business Development Specialist to bring more great restaurants onto the platform.\nYou'll own the relationship from the first conversation through signing, onboarding, and helping the restaurant grow its sales on the app. A major focus will be established brands and restaurant groups, where winning the account takes preparation, persistence, and more than one meeting.\nYou'll work close to the operations team and see the result of your work in the restaurants that go live and the orders they receive. As we expand, you'll help shape the restaurant offering in each area.\nYour Day-to-Day\nBuild a pipeline of restaurants and restaurant groups across the Eastern Province, with particular attention to established brands and priority accounts.\n\nPlan your field visits, reach the right decision-makers, and explain how Take In can help their business.\n\nOwn the sales conversation from first contact to agreement. Understand objections, follow up consistently, negotiate terms, and close the contract.\n\nHelp each signed restaurant get ready to trade. Train its team, hand over the required device and materials, and coordinate the remaining setup with our internal teams.\n\nStay responsible for the relationship after launch. Follow up on early performance and help resolve practical issues that stop the restaurant operating smoothly.\n\nWork with restaurant partners on offers and promotions that support their sales on the app.\n\nKeep a clear record of visits, conversations, next steps, and results. Share a daily report so the team can see progress and help unblock deals.\n\nCoordinate with Control and operations on account handovers and issues involving menus, payments, or platform setup.\n\nWhat You Bring\nExperience winning new business through field sales, restaurant acquisition, or a similar role where you personally find, negotiate, and close accounts.\n\nEvidence of restaurants, merchants, or business customers you've signed, with a clear explanation of your part in the deal.\n\nThe ability to manage a longer sales conversation with several stakeholders, especially for established brands or businesses with multiple branches.\n\nConfidence speaking with restaurant owners and managers, listening to their concerns, and following through on what you agree.\n\nThe organisation to plan a productive day in the field and keep your pipeline and reporting up to date.\n\nA willingness to stay involved after the signature, supporting onboarding and the ongoing relationship.\n\nReadiness to work in the field across the Eastern Province and take responsibility for consistent activity and results.\n\nBonus\nRestaurant acquisition experience at a food delivery platform.\n\nExisting knowledge of the restaurant market in Dammam, Khobar, and Dhahran.\n\nExperience winning larger restaurant groups or accounts with multiple decision-makers.\n\nA background in restaurant technology, merchant services, or food-service sales.\n\nExperience growing an existing account through promotions, additional branches, or better platform performance.\n\nHow We Work\nYour team: You'll report to the Head of Operations and work closely with Control and the teams supporting our restaurant partners.\n\nYour setup: This is a field-based role. You'll organise your day around restaurant visits, meetings, and follow-up.\n\nYour rhythm: The current expectation is 15 field visits a day, an end-of-day report, and a weekly onsite team meeting.\n\nYour scope: You own acquisition, onboarding coordination, and the restaurant relationship. Control handles restaurant finance and administrative platform work.\n\nYour travel: Occasional short trips within Saudi Arabia may be needed to meet a larger brand or close an account.\n\nNotes to Applicants\nA few things worth knowing before you apply:\nInterviews are conducted in English, and over video - camera on is required. We use an AI notetaker during interviews to help us stay focused on the conversation. You'll be asked for consent before any recording begins. If you need accommodations at any point in the process, let us know in your application.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4507,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-27T14:37:37Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-11-03T11:15:47Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":null,"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/takein-business-development-specialist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/takein-business-development-specialist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T17:54:55Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":33281,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":692926},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=692926"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftakein-business-development-specialist"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftakein-business-development-specialist"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftakein-business-development-specialist"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/takein-business-development-specialist\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftakein-business-development-specialist"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3338304}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"takein.sa","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3338304},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
