SALES TRAINING OFFICER | M-KOPA | FREE STATE

You're good in a room. You can read an audience, adjust on the fly, and walk out of a training session knowing the people inside

it are better equipped than when they walked in. Whether you've been doing this formally or you've discovered the skill inside a

sales role, you know that real learning doesn't happen on a slide deck — it happens in the moment, when someone finally gets it.

If you've been looking for a place where that ability genuinely matters — not just as a support function, but as a direct driver

of business outcomes — this might be the role worth pausing for.

Where you'd be doing it

M-KOPA has just crossed 7 million customers across Africa, unlocking $2 billion in credit for people who've never had access to

traditional financial services. 86% of our customers report a meaningful improvement in their quality of life. 55% are accessing

these kinds of products for the very first time. We're a certified B Corporation with 2,300+ employees and 35,000 agents operating

across multiple African markets — and we're accelerating toward 10 million customers.

In South Africa, our field sales teams are on the ground every day in communities across the FS , connecting people to

smartphones, solar energy, and financial access they couldn't get elsewhere. The agents doing that work are only as effective as

the training that prepares them. That's where you come in.

Why this role exists now

We're deliberately investing in the people infrastructure that will carry us from 7 million to 10 million customers. That means

the agents joining our teams need to be ready faster, perform better, and stay longer — and the cluster leaders guiding them need

to be developed, not just managed. The Sales Training Officer role exists to make all of that happen consistently across the FS

This isn't a back-office training coordination role. It's a field-facing, relationship-driven position that puts you at the

intersection of sales performance and people development — two things that, at M-KOPA, are the same conversation.

What you'll actually be doing

Your week will look different depending on where you're needed. Some days you're delivering onboarding sessions for new agents,

walking them through product knowledge and the sales approaches that actually convert in the field. Other days you're running

refresher sessions with existing agents or working directly with cluster leaders on how to coach their own teams. You'll use a

range of facilitation methods — role-play, digital tools, scenario-based learning — because you know that one format doesn't fit

every room.

Alongside the facilitation, you'll own the administrative side: maintaining accurate records of attendance and assessment results,

tracking what's working and what isn't, and feeding those insights back to Regional Sales Managers and the wider sales training

team. You'll help prepare and refine training materials, coordinate logistics across multiple sites, and flag gaps in content

before they show up as performance problems in the field.

The FS geography means you'll be mobile — moving between training sites as needed. If you thrive on variety and don't mind being

on the road, that's a feature, not a complication.

What you bring

A diploma or degree in Sales, Business Administration, Training & Development, or a related field, paired with demonstrable

experience in sales training, sales support, or a facilitation role.

Proven ability to deliver engaging, results-oriented training sessions — you're comfortable in front of a room and skilled at

adjusting your approach when the group needs something different.

Solid working proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, with the ability to manage training records, prepare materials, and track

performance data accurately.

You're organised without being rigid. You communicate clearly — in a training room, in a report, and in a conversation with a

Regional Sales Manager. And you bring a genuine curiosity about what makes people perform better, not just what makes a training

session feel good in the moment.

The reality check

This role moves at the pace of a sales business — which means priorities shift, schedules change, and the ability to adapt matters

as much as the ability to plan. You'll work independently across multiple sites without close daily supervision, so

self-management and follow-through are non-negotiable. If you're early in your career and looking for a role that gives you real

responsibility, real visibility, and a clear connection to business outcomes, this is a strong place to build.

Ready to help build what comes next?

If the idea of developing the people who are changing financial access across South Africa sounds like meaningful work — and not

just a job description — let's have a conversation.

WHY M-KOPA?

At M-KOPA, we empower our people to own their careers through diverse development programs, coaching partnerships, and on-the-job

training. We support individual journeys with family-friendly policies, prioritize well-being, and embrace flexibility.

Sales Representative (Free State)

M-KOPA

Free State•Posted: Apr 8•Deadline: Aug 16

SALES REPRESENTATIVE — M-KOPA (FREE STATE) You know how to sell. More than that — you know how to get other people selling. You've built relationships in your area, you understand how to motivate a team when the month gets tough, and you have the kind of local knowledge that no training manual can give someone. The question is whether your current role is giving you the freedom, the backing, and the mission to make the most of it. M-KOPA is looking for a Sales Executive to recruit, lead, and grow a team of Direct Sales Representatives (DSRs) — putting M-KOPA's products into the hands of customers who genuinely need them, in communities you know better than anyone. What M-KOPA is building We've served more than 7 million customers across Africa, unlocking over $2 billion in credit. 55% of those customers are accessing formal financial services for the very first time. 86% report a meaningful improvement in their quality of life — and 70% use the products they finance through us to generate income. We're growing toward 10 million customers, and that growth happens one community, one DSR team, one sale at a time. Our product range includes smartphones, digital loans, device protection, health insurance, and mobile data. These aren't luxury items for people who already have options. They're tools that change how people live, earn, and connect — and the Sales Executive is the person who makes sure they're available where they're needed. What the work actually looks like You'll be responsible for building and managing your own team of DSRs — recruiting the right people, coaching them up, and holding them accountable to performance standards that keep everyone growing. You'll monitor and evaluate DSR performance regularly, identify where individuals need support or development, and step in with the kind of hands-on coaching that turns an average month into a great one. Beyond the team, you'll develop local networks that open up new sales opportunities — relationships with community members, local businesses, and anyone who can help M-KOPA reach more customers in your area. You'll manage DSR inventory, ensuring your team always has what they need to operate effectively, and you'll submit weekly activity plans and reports to your Regional Manager so that your progress — and your team's — is always visible. The targets are real and the accountability is clear. This is a results-oriented role, and success is measured in numbers. But the way you get there — the relationships you build, the team you develop, the community presence you establish — is what makes this more than just a sales job. What makes you ready for this * A track record in sales — ideally in retail, fibre, insurance, or a comparable field-based environment — with experience managing or mentoring a team of agents or representatives and a demonstrable ability to drive performance through people, not just personal output * Proven ability to build local networks and develop sales opportunities from the ground up, with the community knowledge, interpersonal skills, and self-motivation to operate independently in the field and consistently hit targets * Strong practical skills across team coaching, inventory management, performance monitoring, and reporting — with the energy, reliability, and sense of ownership that a field sales leadership role demands Formal qualifications are welcome but not required. What matters is what you've done and what you can demonstrate. A candid note on what this role requires Field sales is not a passive profession. You'll be out in your area, working alongside your DSRs, building relationships, solving problems, and keeping momentum going even when conditions aren't ideal. The targets don't pause, and the team looks to you to set the standard. If you're someone who gets energy from being in the field, takes ownership seriously, and finds satisfaction in watching a team member outperform their own expectations — this is your kind of role. Why M-KOPA, and why now A lot of sales roles ask you to sell products to people who already have plenty of options. M-KOPA asks you to sell products to people who've been waiting for them. The customers your DSR team will serve — many accessing credit for the first time, many using a financed smartphone or appliance to build their livelihood — are the reason this work matters beyond the commission structure. We're growing from 7 million toward 10 million customers. Every strong Sales Executive we bring on board is part of how that happens. If you're ready for a role that rewards your hustle, develops your leadership, and connects your work to something real — let's talk. WHY M-KOPA?

Retail Team Lead - Free State

M-KOPA

Free State•Posted: Apr 8•Deadline: Aug 16

RETAIL TEAM LEAD — FREE STATE Running a retail operation well is harder than it looks. It's not just the stock figures and the SLA reports — it's the staff roster, the shop branding, the training gap you spotted last Tuesday, the depot owner who needs a conversation, and the customer complaint that somehow landed in three different queues. It's knowing which of those to handle yourself and which to delegate, and doing both without dropping anything. If that description sounds like a normal week to you — and you're looking for a role where the scope is real and the mission behind it actually means something — M-KOPA is worth your attention. We're hiring a Retail Team Lead to provide leadership across our service centres, stock depots, and sales points in South Africa — overseeing operations, driving customer experience standards, leading retail training, and managing the people and processes that keep our retail channel performing. What M-KOPA is building We've served more than 7 million customers across Africa, unlocking over $2 billion in credit. 55% of those customers are accessing formal financial services for the very first time. 86% report a meaningful improvement in their quality of life. We're growing toward 10 million — which means our retail footprint is expanding, our depot and service centre network is scaling, and the operational leadership that holds it all together matters more than ever. What the work actually looks like The breadth of this role is genuine. On any given week you could be reviewing service centre performance data, conducting a stock audit, coordinating a shop renovation, running a training session for retail staff, resolving a Freshdesk ticket escalation, and preparing a performance report for the Retail Operations Manager. No two weeks are identical, and that's by design. Customer servicing is a consistent thread — you'll monitor performance across service centres, stock points, and depots, and work closely with other teams to ensure customer issues are resolved without delay. When the standard slips, you'll identify it early and act. Stock management sits firmly in your remit. You'll supervise stock controllers, oversee inventory tracking, implement stock control procedures, conduct regular audits, and coordinate with supply chain and warehouse to ensure replenishment happens on time. Discrepancies get investigated, not ignored. Shop management covers the physical and commercial aspects of M-KOPA's retail presence — brand execution, permits, look and feel, branding materials, and maintenance. You'll work closely with the Retail Senior Manager and Marketing to ensure every location reflects M-KOPA's standards and supports the customer experience we're committed to delivering. Training is a dedicated part of the role rather than an afterthought. You'll develop and manage the retail knowledge base, own the training schedule and materials, identify knowledge gaps across the team, and close them through structured training and process improvement. Your direct reports include Retail Trainers — which means your investment in training quality has a multiplier effect across the network. You'll also manage Customer Care Executives, maintain CASAT and SLA reporting, drive policy and process adherence across all locations, and support Depot Shop Owner activities including servicing, commercials, and commissions. People management runs across all of it — building rosters, conducting performance reviews, managing recruitment and onboarding, addressing employee relations issues, and creating the kind of team environment where people are motivated to perform. What makes you ready for this * Proven experience in a team leader or supervisory role within retail operations — with a demonstrated track record managing stock control, shop operations, and multi-site performance across service or depot environments * Strong working knowledge of inventory management systems and retail operations processes — including stock auditing, SLA adherence, and the ability to identify operational gaps and implement practical improvements * The organisational capability and leadership presence to manage a diverse team including Retail Trainers and Customer Care Executives — alongside the willingness to travel countrywide and the flexibility to handle a broad, fast-moving remit without losing quality on any part of it The reality check This role covers a lot of ground — intentionally. You'll be across stock, people, training, reporting, customer experience, and shop standards simultaneously, and the expectation is that nothing falls through the cracks. That requires strong prioritisation, personal discipline, and the kind of proactive attitude that spots a problem before it becomes an incident. If you're energised by variety and take genuine ownership of outcomes across a wide brief, you'll find this role rewarding. If you prefer a tightly defined scope, it may not be the right fit. Why M-KOPA, and why now Most retail operations roles are about protecting what's already working. This one is about building what comes next. M-KOPA's retail network in South Africa is growing — new service centres, new depots, new markets — and the Regional Retail Team Lead is the person who makes sure that growth doesn't outpace our standards. The work you do directly shapes the experience of customers who are, in many cases, accessing formal financial services for the first time. That's not a small thing. If you're ready for a broad, demanding, genuinely consequential retail leadership role — let's talk. WHY M-KOPA? At M-KOPA, we empower our people to own their careers through diverse development programs, coaching partnerships, and on-the-job training. We support individual journeys with family-friendly policies, prioritize well-being, and embrace flexibility. Join us in shaping the future of M-KOPA as we grow together. Explore more at m-kopa.com.
