Overview

Satāya is representing a growing FinTech FSP in the appointment of a Junior Sales Developer.

The business is growing quickly, with ambitions well beyond South Africa, and is building its commercial team to keep pace. This role sits at the front of that growth. You will open doors with businesses, and with the professionals who advise them.

This is an entry point into sales with a clear way forward. The successful candidate will start by building pipeline and securing first meetings. Those who perform well will go on to lead client conversations themselves. Previous sales experience is welcome but not essential; attitude, intelligence and resilience matter more.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify businesses with regular international payment needs and qualify them as prospects
• Secure first meetings through cold approaches by phone, email and LinkedIn
• Use your own professional and personal network to start early conversations

2) Partner and Referral Development

• Build relationships with accountants, advisers and other intermediaries who can introduce new clients
• Arrange introductory meetings with potential referral partners and keep them engaged over time
• Plan your own outreach campaigns by sector, region or business size, and refine them based on results
• Keep accurate records of activity, conversion and pipeline using the company’s systems and spreadsheets

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Matric essential; a tertiary qualification is an advantage but not a requirement
• Sales, business development or client-facing experience is a plus, though not essential
• Fluent English, with confident written and spoken communication
• Quick to pick up new systems; working knowledge of Excel is helpful
• Organised and self-directed, able to run a productive day while working remotely
• Personable and articulate, comfortable speaking with business owners and finance decision-makers
• Resilient, able to hear “no” often and keep going with energy and good humour
• A real interest in finance, fintech or commercial sales

Why Our Client

• An authorised, regulated financial services business with a transparent, client-first model
• Early enough in its growth that you will shape how the client base is built
• Strong performance is recognised and rewarded through bonuses
• Autonomy over how you manage your time, without micromanagement
• Fully remote, with a collaborative team that supports one another
• A clear route from pipeline generation into full client-facing sales
