Our ideal candidate is a strategic thinker with a proven track record in sales, ready to take on the challenge of expanding our footprint across the African continent.

What You'll Be Doing (and Why You'll Enjoy It)

In this exhilarating role, you'll be at the heart of expanding our presence across Africa, traveling to neighboring countries to forge new partnerships and caretake those relationships whilst established.

You'll have the opportunity to represent our esteemed brand, showcasing our products to prospective and current dealers and clients.

This position is perfect for those who love the thrill of the chase, enjoy the diversity of working in different locations, and are passionate about making a tangible impact on brand growth.

Where You'll Be Doing It

Our client is an innovative designer and manufacturer of office solutions, renowned for their creativity and commitment to excellence.

Join us and be a part of a team that's shaping the future of workspaces across Africa.

When in SA, you'll be office-based in Sandton Monday to Friday.

This role will, of course, entail lots of travel, especially at first while you're establishing and developing relationships with distributors.

What You'll Need

You will have at least 5 years of sales experience, of which the majority should be in establishing business in SADC.

We'd ideally like someone with industry-related experience, but we're open to the industry.

You must be adept with Microsoft Office tools and hold a valid driver's license and passport, as regular travel is an integral part of this role.
