Dream of the Desert تعلن عن وظيفة مدير قطاع MICE والرحلات الخاصة في الرياض

Dream of the Desert is Saudi Arabia’s first luxury train experience, offering an exceptional journey that blends world-class hospitality, cultural heritage, and breathtaking landscapes. Developed in collaboration with leading international partners, the project aims to redefine luxury rail travel in the region by delivering unforgettable guest experiences inspired by Saudi traditions and modern excellence.

As a fast-growing organization, we are committed to attracting talented professionals who are passionate about innovation, operational excellence, and creating extraordinary experiences. Joining our team means becoming part of a pioneering project that is setting new standards in luxury tourism and hospitality in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

As Director of MICE & Private Charters, you will build and lead one of the company's most strategic revenue streams: full-train private charters, corporate incentive programmes, executive retreats, weddings, and milestone celebrations aboard Saudi Arabia's most exclusive travel product.

This is a founding commercial leadership role. You will define the charter proposition, build the B2B pipeline from the ground up, and position Dream of the Desert as the Kingdom's most coveted venue for high-end corporate and private events - ahead of our launch season.

• Design and own the full private charter and MICE commercial strategy, including packaging, pricing architecture, and yield management for full-train buyouts
• Build and manage a pipeline of corporate clients, incentive houses, DMCs, luxury travel advisors, and event planners across KSA, the GCC, and international source markets
• Develop signature event formats - desert gala dinners, incentive journeys, board retreats, cultural programmes - in collaboration with onboard operations and destination partners
• Establish partnerships with giga-projects, government entities, and Vision 2030-aligned institutions seeking exceptional hosting venues
• Lead end-to-end client experience for charter bookings: proposal, contracting, bespoke programme design, and on-journey execution oversight
• Represent Dream of the Desert at key MICE trade platforms (IMEX, ILTM, ATM, Saudi-hosted forums)
• Build revenue forecasts, reporting, and CRM discipline for the charter segment
• Work closely with Marketing to develop B2B collateral, charter brochures, and sales tools

• In line with applicable Saudi labor regulations and workforce localization requirements for this position, applicants must be Saudi nationals
• 10+ years in luxury hospitality, MICE sales, or incentive travel, with at least 5 years in a leadership or director-level commercial role
• Proven track record selling high-value group programmes (full-property buyouts, incentive journeys, or comparable ultra-luxury formats)
• Deep network among GCC corporate buyers, incentive houses, DMCs, and luxury event planners; existing relationships in the Saudi market strongly preferred
• Experience with government, semi-government, or giga-project clients is a significant advantage
• Commercial rigour: pricing, contracting, forecasting, and pipeline management
• Fluency in English required; Arabic strongly preferred
• Willingness to travel across the Kingdom and internationally, including onboard presence during charter journeys

You will shape a category that does not yet exist in the Kingdom - luxury rail events - with the backing of world-class partners and a product of genuine cultural significance. This is a rare opportunity to build a commercial vertical from a blank page within one of Saudi tourism's most iconic launches.
