Job description

Join a fast-growing global fintech transforming the future of audit.

Circitis building the world's first global asset-verification network—redefining how auditors, banks, and fintechs establish trust in every financial transaction.

Our platform powers higher-quality audits, eliminates manual friction, and helps financial institutions deliver certainty at scale.

Today, Circitis is trusted by The Big Four & Top 30 Global Audit Firms, global banks, fund administrators, and some of the world's leading financial service providers.

We’re entering a major growth chapter, and South Africa is a strategic expansion market.

This is a rare opportunity to join at exactly the right moment—where the product is proven, the market is ready, and you can directly influence how we scale.

We’re looking for an ambitious Sales Executive to own this key region, accelerate adoption of our technology, and help build the future of trust in the financial system.

Why This Role Is Exciting

• High ownership – you will drive Circit's entire go-to-market approach in South Africa.
• Proven product + growing market – you’re not "starting from zero"; the foundations are in place and adoption is accelerating globally.
• Category-creating technology – join a company reshaping how auditors and financial institutions operate.
• Direct access to leadership – work closely with founders and senior product, GTM, and growth teams.
• High-impact growth – your success in this market will directly influence Circit's global expansion roadmap.
• Equity potential – share in the long-term upside as Circit scales internationally.
• This is an ideal role for a high-performing SaaS seller who’s hungry to own a market, close deals, and work in a fast-paced, non-hierarchical environment.

What You’ll Own & Deliver

Market Execution

• Own the full sales cycle in South Africa—from prospecting and qualification to negotiation and close.
• Deploy a proven go-to-market strategy to accelerate growth in a maturing, high-potential market.
• Develop a high-quality pipeline aligned to monthly and quarterly revenue targets.

Customer Expansion

• Build strong, strategic relationships with auditors, fund administrators, fintech teams, and financial institutions.
• Collaborate with Customer Success to uncover upsell and cross-sell opportunities in key accounts.
• Become a trusted advisor and product expert for our customers.

Market Intelligence & Growth

• Identify new use cases, segments, and partnership opportunities to open fresh revenue streams.
• Bring customer insights back to the product and leadership teams to influence future development.
• Represent Circit at industry events, conferences, and customer meetings across South Africa.

Candidate Requirements

You thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments and have a passion for building markets, closing deals, and creating meaningful relationships.

Must‑Haves

• 6+ years' experience closing B2B SaaS deals, ideally within fintech, regtech, audit tech, or financial services.
• A strong track record of hitting or exceeding revenue targets.
• Experience selling into enterprises or multi-stakeholder environments (audit firms, banks, financial services).
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Commercially sharp, adaptable, and comfortable owning an entire market.
• A proactive, entrepreneurial mindset and a desire to build, not just maintain—to grow the market, client by client.

Strong Pluses

• Experience working with auditors, fund administrators, or financial institutions.
• Understanding of the audit lifecycle or the financial services ecosystem.
• Experience in early-stage or high-growth SaaS environments.
• Ability to identify and develop partnerships that accelerate revenue.

This role includes remote work with travel to customers, partners, and industry events across South Africa.
