• A solid network and history with Retail, FMCG, and/or Hospitality clients.
• Knowledge of QCTO standards and the L&D industry is a strong advantage.
• Able to handle high-pressure targets - think R2 million/month, not per year.

• Strong business writing and proposal development skills.
• Bonus: Existing client list or active book of business.

Qualifications & Experience
