Manage the full sales cycle — from first outreach to successful onboarding and activation.

Collaborate closely with Marketing, Partner Operations, and Product teams to strengthen our go-to-market strategy in South Africa.

Provide market insights and feedback to help refine Fresha’s positioning in the local landscape.

Consistently achieve and exceed personal KPIs and commercial growth targets.

Proven experience in sales, business development, or a client-facing advisory role.

Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with genuine enthusiasm for engaging customers.

A rare opportunity to be an early commercial hire with significant ownership and influence.

Direct involvement in building Fresha’s presence and brand in the South African market.

Competitive compensation with performance-based incentives.

Flexible working arrangements: hybrid working in Cape Town.
