A base of €60,000 during your six-month probation, rising to €72,000 once you're settled in Dubai, with a €12,000 accommodation allowance built in. Uncapped commission on every deal you close, 15% on the ones you bring in yourself. All of it tax-free.
Your on-target package is €160,000, all of it tax-free in Dubai. And every number here is what you actually keep, not a gross figure, because with Dubai as your base what you earn is what you take home.
You start on €60,000 through your six-month probation. Once you've proven yourself, that becomes €72,000, with a €12,000 accommodation allowance for the move folded in. Then commission lands on top of every deal: 15% on the ones you source and close yourself, 10% on the ones the SDR team feeds you. Paid upfront, and again in year two when the client renews.
You wear two hats here, and you get paid for both.
You build and hold the relationships with the Salesforce account executives, get them fluent in Business Ready Salesforce, and keep that channel warm. You'll start with a group of 10 to 15 partners.
When a partner turns up a client who's interested, you run the discovery, work the deal, and close it yourself. You're the closer, not a hand-off.
Most places split these jobs between two people. You're doing both, which is exactly why the commission works the way it does below.
The number that matters isn't the headline salary, it's what lands in your account. Ireland taxes the top of your income at roughly 35 to 52%. Dubai is 0%.
Take-home, side by side
Your tax-free €72,000 with us beats the taxed €80,000 promotion back home. Even the €60,000 starting base, tax-free, is about what that €80,000 Irish promotion leaves you, before a cent of commission.
Gross needed for €160K kept
To take home €160,000 in Dublin you'd have to earn around €300,000. In Dubai, €160,000 is €160,000.
These are illustrative examples for comparison, not a personal tax calculation; your actual figures depend on your circumstances.
You earn on every deal, paid upfront and uncapped, at a rate that depends on your part in it.
Business Ready Salesforce runs at €1,500 a month in Benelux, which is €18,000 of cash in year one (clients pay twelve months upfront). So a deal you close yourself pays €2,700, and a 10% deal, whether the SDR team brings it or you pass it on, pays €1,800. And it pays a second time: when the client renews in year two, you get paid on it again, so your first-year book is still paying while you add more on top.
| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Base salary, guaranteed after probation | €72,000 / yr |
| Each deal you close yourself (15%) | €2,700 |
| Each deal the SDR team brings you (10%) | €1,800 |
| Each deal you source and pass to an AE (10%) | €1,800 |
| Scenario | You close (15%) | SDR brings (10%) | You pass to an AE (10%) | Year-1 total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conservative | 2 / mo | 1 / mo | 1 / mo | ≈ €180,000 |
| Realistic | 2 / mo | 2 / mo | 2 / mo | ≈ €223,000 |
| Strong | 3 / mo | 3 / mo | 3 / mo | ≈ €299,000 |
Counts are per month. Each total is your €72,000 base plus a full year of that commission, and you're paid on it again in year two.
Even the conservative mix, four deals a month across the three sources, lands around €180,000, already past your €160,000 number and before any renewals.
In the middle. A steady six a month and you're comfortably clear, still on first-year money alone.
And climbing. At nine a month you're knocking on €300,000, and the more you tilt toward the deals you close yourself at 15%, the faster it goes. Uncapped, tax-free.
The rate is flat, so a larger plan pays more: a €1,500/mo deal pays €2,700, a €3,000/mo deal pays €5,400. No ceiling.
This is your OTE: base plus commission on Business Ready Salesforce. The streams in the next section stack on top of these numbers, and none of them are counted here.
Commission is paid on active deals while you're employed with Kompetenza.
Your €160,000 comes from Salesforce alone. Everything here stacks on top of it, uncapped, and none of it is counted in those numbers.
Two more products to sell. €2,000 a month, €24,000 in year one, same split as Salesforce: 15% (≈ €3,600) on the ones you close yourself, 10% (≈ €2,400) on the rest. Each is a separate deal with its own commission, paid again in year two.
When a deal you bring through turns into Salesforce account licenses, Kompetenza earns 20% from Salesforce on those licenses, and you take 15% of that. Extra income on work you're already doing, with nothing more to close.
We already work with Shuraa, a corporate-services company with thousands of clients coming through every month, and we sell Salesforce-related services into that base. Each one runs about €1,000 a month, so your 10% is €100 a month per deal. It's recurring, so it builds month over month.
It's recurring, so that book keeps paying into year two.
The tax-free income is only half of it. The same housing budget that gets you a small flat in Dublin buys a very different life in Dubai.
Gets you a small one-bed, and not a lot else.
Puts you in newer, better property, on the water, with downtown Dubai on the table. Real living, for what a cramped flat costs back home.
These are communities where millionaires and business owners live. Day to day you're around people already making serious money, so your network grows as fast as your income.
Your health insurance is on us, and we sponsor your Dubai residency too, so you pay nothing for either.
Fully remote, judged on what you close, not hours at a desk. No fixed clock, set your own times. Dubai stays home base: travel when you like, but spend most of the year here, which is what keeps the whole thing tax-free.
You spend your first two months in Dublin, because the in-person relationships you build with the Salesforce account executives are the foundation of everything you'll close. Roy flies over when you start and spends a week or two setting you up himself, then heads back. After two months, you move to Dubai.
In Dubai we set you up near Roy, by Dubai Marina around Jumeirah Beach Residence, so he's a step away whenever you need him. You can work out of his home office, and you'll have him in your corner day to day.
When you need to be back in Dublin for the partner relationships, we sponsor the travel, quarterly, pre-approved by Roy.
Probation runs six months, but it isn't there to hold you back. Come out strong in the first three months with deals landing, and we're glad to cut it to three or four.
You've said you want to be a Sales Director. At a company the size of Salesforce that's a slow climb, you've been an IC for over two years and the next rung is a long queue. Here it's the other way round, and you're close to leadership the whole way, working with Roy from day one.
A meaningful jump in scope inside your first 12 to 18 months, on performance.
Partner Manager for the wider EMEA region within about two years.
Clear runway to Sales Director for the whole EMEA region after that.
That kind of move, on that timeline, all the way to EMEA Sales Director, is something a company Salesforce's size simply can't put in front of you.
A base that, tax-free, holds its own against what you'd keep in Ireland. A two-in-one role, Partner Manager and Account Executive, paying you on every deal: 15% on the ones you bring in, 10% on the ones we feed you, upfront and again in year two. Three product lines to grow into, starting with Salesforce and opening up EOR Cloud and Corporate Service Cloud, each its own stream, plus the Salesforce-licence and Shuraa channels on top. Fully remote, no fixed hours, judged on outcomes, and a life in Dubai the same money would never buy you in Dublin, with your residency and health insurance covered. And a real, performance-based path to EMEA Sales Director, faster than a big company could ever offer.
