RESPONSIBILITIES:

Lead & Coach: Recruit, train, and energise Growth Executives and Administrators.
Drive Results: Set targets, manage performance, and ensure consistent delivery of acquisition and activation goals.
Own the Region: Translate strategy into action, manage forecasts, and optimise pipeline health.
Collaborate & Influence: Work cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, Finance, and Operations.
Engage Merchants: Lead from the front — attend meetings, present solutions, and support deal closures.
Promote Learning: Ensure product certification and refresher training every 90 days.

ATTRIBUTES:

Leadership & coaching excellence
Commercial acumen & data-driven decision-making
Sales execution & operational discipline
Customer-centric mindset
