What you will do:
You will be responsible for originating, structuring and securing new event platforms that expand the companyâs portfolio and revenue base.
This role is accountable for pitching new event concepts to ministries and government entities, responding to relevant RFPs (including those issued via Etimad), identifying and structuring inorganic growth opportunities that can be scaled under Tahalufâs operating model.
