Job description

Are you a top-tier sales hunter who feels held back by limited tech back ends, weak brand backing, or poor commission structures?

At Digital Platforms, we don’t do routine sales, we execute digital transformation. Backed by African Media Entertainment Limited (AME), a JSE-listed media power group, we combine the firepower of an enterprise parent company with the speed and innovation of an agile software engineering and agency environment.

We are expanding our commercial footprint in Gauteng. We are looking for an ambitious, autonomous sales executive who thrives on high-value corporate deals, competitive commission pay-outs, and absolute autonomy.

THE OPPORTUNITY

• Company Overview: Digital Platforms is a full-service digital agency specializing in custom web and software engineering, e-commerce, and high-impact digital marketing retainers. Headquartered in Bloemfontein under the Central Media Group, Digital Platforms operates as part of African Media Entertainment Limited (AME), a premier media organization listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). We combine listed-entity backing with an agile technical environment to deliver end-to-end digital transformation for top-tier clients.


• Role Overview: We are seeking an ambitious, highly autonomous Digital Sales Executive to lead our commercial expansion in Gauteng. Operating remotely as a strategic “hunter,” you will bridge high-end corporate clients with our Central SA production team by identifying complex digital needs, selling bespoke web/software projects, and securing recurring digital marketing retainers.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• New Business Development: Drive new account acquisition across Gauteng, consistently achieving and exceeding monthly blended revenue targets across custom development projects and recurring digital retainers.


• High-End Client Consultation: Serve as a strategic consultant to C-suite decision-makers, analysing business needs and tailoring pitches for custom web architectures, software, and marketing strategies.


• Pipeline & CRM Management: Maintain 100% CRM compliance with rigorous pipeline tracking, cold outreach, client meetings, and accurate sales forecasts.


• AME Network Synergies: Leverage physical and operational proximity to sister media partners (such as United Stations, KAYA FM, Algoa FM, Media Heads 360 and Moneyweb) to drive cross selling and joint pitches.


• Technical Handover & Collaboration: Conduct detailed initial project scoping and maintain seamless communication for smooth technical handovers to the Bloemfontein production team.

REQUIREMENTS & QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience: Minimum 3 to 5 years of proven sales experience within digital software, web technology, SaaS, or digital agency environments.


• Track Record: Documented history of consistently hitting targets and closing high-value corporate deals/portfolios.


• Independent Drive: Highly self-disciplined go-getter capable of operating independently in a standalone remote capacity.


• Technical Acumen: Ability to translate complex technical software concepts into business value for enterprise clients.


• Mobility & Setup: Valid driver’s license and reliable transport for local client meetings in Gauteng, with willingness to travel quarterly to the Bloemfontein HQ.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive CTC: Remuneration package ranging between R25 000 and R40 000 per month, in line with qualifications and experience.


• Competitive Commission Structure: Covering both once-off software builds and recurring marketing retainers.


• Allowances: Travel, cell phone, and office allowance.


• Full Support: Back-end support from our established production and engineering teams.
