# Commercial Manager – Strategic Partnerships – Majid Al Futtaim

Majid Al Futtaim’s growth increasingly depends not just on running its own brands well, but on striking the right partnerships — with other retailers, brands, service providers, or platforms that can extend its reach or add value to its malls and retail ecosystem. A Commercial Manager focused on Strategic Partnerships is responsible for identifying, negotiating, and managing those relationships in ways that drive real revenue growth.

The role covers the full partnership lifecycle: scoping potential partners and commercial models, building the business case and negotiating terms, and then managing the relationship post-signature to make sure both sides are actually getting value — a signed deal that never gets properly executed is a wasted opportunity. Expect close collaboration with finance, legal, and category teams throughout, since a good commercial deal has to work operationally and financially, not just look good on paper.

This suits someone who’s commercially sharp and comfortable negotiating high-stakes agreements, but who also has the relationship management patience to nurture a partnership over months or years rather than treating the signed contract as the finish line.

## Requirements

- Several years of experience in commercial management, business development, or strategic partnerships

- Strong negotiation skills and comfort structuring commercial agreements

- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, or a related field; MBA is an advantage

- Analytical ability to build and evaluate business cases for proposed partnerships

- Experience working cross-functionally with legal, finance, and category or operations teams

- Strong relationship management skills, including with senior external stakeholders

- Familiarity with the UAE or wider GCC retail, real estate, or consumer landscape is an advantage

## Suggested Resume Keywords
