You should possess strong analytical and data-driven decision-making capabilities, allowing you to effectively monitor sales performance and translate insights into actionable sales strategies. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential, as you'll be collaborating with retail partners, internal teams, and customers to ensure alignment on objectives and promotions.

We seek someone highly organized and adaptable, comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced retail environment. If you have a passion for sales excellence, thrive in roles where you can directly influence team performance, and resonate with our mission of empowering everyday earners across Africa, you're exactly who we're looking for.
