iBuild تعلن عن وظيفة مدير اكتساب الموردين في الرياض

Company Overview

Founded in 2025 in Riyadh, iBuild is a startup with a bold vision to transform the building materials market in Saudi Arabia through innovative digital solutions. Seeing the rapid evolution of the construction sector and the challenges facing both businesses and individual consumers, our founders set out to build a platform that brings simplicity, transparency, and efficiency to material procurement.

Our platform was born from a real need in the industry. Traditional supply chains were fragmented, time-consuming, and lacked visibility, leading to delays, cost overruns, and limited market insight. iBuild bridges that gap by offering a centralized, intuitive, technology-driven marketplace where suppliers and buyers connect with confidence.

Through smart tools, data-driven insights, and dependable logistics, we streamline procurement for businesses while making e-commerce for building materials accessible to everyone.

We are currently looking for a Senior Sales Manager to lead our buyer acquisition in Riyadh and we are excited to hear from you.

• Maintain an accurate vendor pipeline in the CRM and report regularly on acquisition progress, categories covered, and terms secured.

• Monitor construction material market trends, pricing movements, and new entrants to keep our supplier base ahead of the market.

• Represent iBuild at industry events, trade fairs, and exhibitions to build the supplier network.

• Strong working knowledge of construction and finishing material categories, specifications, brands, and market pricing.

• Proven negotiation skills, with a track record of securing favorable commercial terms, pricing, and payment conditions.
