Business Development Manager SoftPOS

Why qlub

The end of a great meal shouldn't be the slow part. Waiting for the check, finding someone to take payment, splitting a bill by hand. qlub removes that friction. Guests scan a QR code and pay in seconds. No app, no download, no waiting.

From Pay-at-Table and Digital Menus to Order-and-Pay, Payment Links, and SoftPOS terminals, we handle the full payment experience so restaurants can focus on what they do best: great hospitality. Less friction means faster table turnover, smoother operations, and higher profit.

We're a fast-scaling fintech backed by Mastercard, Mubadala, e& and Shorooq. $72M raised, live across multiple markets worldwide, and headcount doubled in the past year. We're building the teams that take us to the next stage.

The role

We are looking for Business Development Managers to drive the growth of qlub SoftPOS across the UAE. SoftPOS turns a phone into a payment terminal, with no extra hardware to buy or maintain, and it is one of the fastest-moving parts of our product line. As one of the key faces of the business, you will be responsible for identifying, engaging, and closing leading restaurant groups and independent operators, building a strong pipeline and converting opportunities into long-term partnerships.

This is a high-impact, high-ownership role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced commercial environment. You will work directly with founders, operators, and senior decision-makers, helping some of the region’s most recognized hospitality brands move away from traditional card machines to a faster, simpler way of taking payments. If you enjoy building relationships, winning new business, and seeing the direct results of your work, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact at one of the fastest-growing companies in restaurant technology.

What You’ll Own

• Build a strong pipeline of restaurant, hospitality, and F&B prospects for qlub SoftPOS across the UAE.
• Source new leads through your network, market research, referrals, field visits, and outbound activity.

• Lead meetings, SoftPOS demos, product discussions, proposals, negotiations, and follow-ups with potential partners.
• Use market knowledge and sales data to prioritise opportunities and improve conversion.

• Stay close to the accounts you close, supporting early adoption across outlets and identifying growth opportunities.
• Identify SoftPOS opportunities within existing qlub accounts and work with the wider commercial team to expand them.
• Share useful market feedback, competitor and terminal provider insights, and client needs with the wider team.
