Contributing to the sales strategy through generating leads, partnering with key players, taking effective marketing actions, prioritising profitability, and maintaining and growing existing client relationships.
 
Evaluating and supervising expansion opportunities while ensuring we have enough supply to match demand and keeping track of market shifts, opportunities, new products, and competition status.

You can effectively communicate in English and Swahili, efficiently network, and build meaningful relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
 
You excel in driving revenue growth and meeting sales targets with practical negotiation strategies and tactics, especially in high-growth sectors like shared economy, technology, transport, and startups.
 
You demonstrate a highly data-driven, analytical mindset, and you’re an experienced CRM user who can examine data to optimise your team's activities and identify patterns and trends within the data.
 
You thrive in a fast-paced environment, easily overcoming obstacles and adapting quickly to change.
