• Warm, highly articulate, and professional communication skills with strong confidence on Zoom.
• High degree of organisation, exceptional attention to detail, and a calm approach under multiple priorities.
• A proactive, commercially minded self-starter who takes ownership rather than waiting for instruction.
• Comfortable having structured accountability conversations with clients who have made significant investments.
• Low ego, adaptable, and happy working as an integral part of a lean entrepreneurial team.
• Ability to learn new industry concepts rapidly and an ambition to progress into a Coaching or Customer Success Manager role.

Nice to have

• Salary: R28 000 per month.
• Working hours: Full-time, 40 hours per week, aligned with UK working hours.
• Working arrangement: Fully remote from South Africa.
• Progression: Structured opportunity to transition into a Head of Customer Success / Coaching Manager role as the company grows.
