Why Revenue & Go-to-Market professionals use Tenure
The GCC's economic diversification is creating new commercial markets at pace. Enterprise software adoption, financial services distribution, real estate off-plan sales, and B2B services are all scaling, and the demand for experienced commercial talent is outstripping supply. Tenure tracks roles from SDR through Chief Commercial Officer across enterprise sales, key account management, partnerships, and business development, with calibrated base-salary bands by level across sectors and firm types; commission structures and OTE norms are explained as market context.

How we source compensation data
Tenure compensation benchmarks are anchored to primary-source documents we hold on file: extracts from established Gulf compensation surveys and written offer letters shared by Tenure Pro members, anonymised before mapping. We never crowdsource and never accept self-reported numbers without a document behind them. Every band is versioned and refreshed on a monthly cadence. The full calibrated base-salary ladder, split by employer calibre with the source count on every band, is available to Tenure Pro members. Read the full methodology →
