  • Pipeline Management: Maintain consistent follow-up with prospects, moving them seamlessly through the conversion process and managing data accuracy within the CRM system.

  • Lead Generation: Identify, research, and prospect new market opportunities specifically within the Independent Financial Adviser (IFA) and financial advisory landscape.

  • Collaborative Structuring: Partner with the internal team to refine sales messaging, share client feedback, and continuously improve conversion metrics.

Requirements
  • Language Proficiency: Absolute fluency in both English and Afrikaans (written and spoken) is an essential, non-negotiable requirement.

  • Experience Baseline: At least 3 years of experience in a sales, client-facing, or financial services role—OR a highly driven recent graduate holding a relevant tertiary degree.

  • Industry Alignment: A genuine interest or background in fintech and financial services, with a strong preference for individuals coming directly from the financial advisory field.

  • Presentation Confidence: High comfort level presenting and demonstrating software interfaces to prospective business clients.

  • Location & Setup: Must be based in or near Paarl to accommodate the expected hybrid office routine.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Comprehensive group benefits.

  • Inclusive, honest, and supportive team environment with visible recognition for daily contributions.
