My client, a U.S.-based leader in customised smart cards, readers, and accessories, is seeking a highly experienced, corporate-level Sales Executive to join its management team. This is a home-office–based remote position in South Africa (based in Cape Town or surrounding areas), offering a strategic, senior role focused on driving growth in the American commercial sector and a long-term career path with a dynamic, global company.

Language: Native-level proficiency in English, with exceptional verbal and written communication skills suitable for engaging C-suite clients in the United States.

The successful candidate will operate at a strategic, executive level, engaging with C-suite decision-makers and managing complex sales cycles.

• Strong business development experience and ability to lead a sales team
• Exceptional communication, presentation, and relationship management skills
• Experience in mentoring or managing junior sales staff
• Post-matric qualification; further technical/business education is advantageous
• Native or near-native proficiency in English (spoken and written)

• Identify, develop, and close high-value sales opportunities
• Lead, manage, and support a sales team in achieving targets
• Build and maintain strategic relationships with senior corporate clients
• Oversee CRM, reporting, and sales processes
• Coordinate with international production teams (US, UK, China)
• Stay abreast of industry trends and provide training or guidance to team members

• Remote work; normal hours 14:00–22:00 SA time, Monday–Friday
• Work may occasionally extend beyond hours for US market alignment
• Reliable internet, electricity, laptop, and mobile phone essential

• Competitive base salary plus lucrative USD-based commission structure
• Opportunity to grow within a global, technical market, specializing in hotel key cards, access control, transport, medical, ID badges, loyalty cards, banking solutions, and more

This role is only suitable for seasoned, corporate-level sales professionals with proven experience and a strategic approach to client engagement. Entry-level, junior, or inexperienced candidates are unlikely to meet the requirements for this role and are therefore discouraged from applying.
