Junior Account Manager (Recent Graduates Only)

TransPerfect is seeking a Junior Account Manager for its Dubai office. The role is full-time and onsite in Dubai, designed for recent graduates looking to launch a sales career. TransPerfect helps organizations optimize global operations through language and AI solutions, seamless automation, and technology integrations. Through its GlobalLink® technology, the company connects with leading CMS, CRM, and marketing systems to streamline multilingual workflows. TransPerfect serves over 6,000 organizations worldwide, offers services in 200+ languages, and maintains over 150 offices across six continents. The position concentrates on generating new business and serving as the first point of contact for existing clients, primarily in the Travel industry with some work in Retail/Real Estate. This is a role for someone who communicates clearly, stays organized, and wants to take ownership of client relationships while growing in sales.

Because the role is targeted at recent graduates, the team is looking for someone with fresh energy, a can-do mindset, and a willingness to learn. The ideal candidate enjoys talking with clients, coordinating with cross-functional teams around the world, and taking steps to kick-start a sales career in a global services environment.

Cultivating client relationships on the ground

On a typical day, you’ll build solid relationships with clients, sales colleagues, and production teams worldwide, while responding to requests for new project initiatives. You’ll work with production and sales to scope work, develop cost estimates, and assess the competitive landscape to shape proposals. You’ll negotiate budgets and schedules with clients, and you’ll monitor progress to ensure deadlines and budgets are met while delivering high-quality results. You’ll also learn about each client’s industry and business needs, educate the project team, spot new opportunities, and provide a high level of service. Growing new business from existing clients will be a key focus, including collaborating with senior leadership to expand relationships and upsell the TransPerfect portfolio, and you’ll regularly follow up with clients to confirm satisfaction with delivery and service.

Here are the must-have qualifications for this role:

• Strong written and spoken English communication
• A bachelor's degree or equivalent level of education
• Solid problem solving and analytical abilities
• People skills with a practical, can-do mindset
