I lead compliant tender submissions, operations, and business development across consulting, education, and technology.
What I'm looking for
I'm leading the full tender lifecycle at Modernity International / Morison KSI, from opportunity screening through submission and follow-up. I coordinate technical and financial proposals, compliance matrices, methodologies, pricing, and partner inputs.
Previously at Pioneers Academy, I managed daily operations, budgets, performance reporting, and coordination across management, trainers, and administrative teams. I also delivered two phases of a large-scale educational development project remotely for As’hl Education & Business in Oman.
My business development work at DocuTech included market research, client relationship building, contract negotiation, and closing high-value sales deals. Earlier roles gave me hands-on experience with government and private-sector tenders, sales operations, customer support, marketing campaigns, and pharmaceutical R&D coordination.
I bring over 13 years of experience across consulting, pharmaceuticals, technology, education, and training. I work fluently in Arabic and English and use proposal, productivity, ERP, and CRM tools to keep work organised, compliant, and on track.
