What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Coach, mentor, and guide junior sales staff across PE, Durban, and Cape Town

  • Reinforce daily habits, admin discipline, and process adherence
  • Monitor individual progress and provide feedback to support their growth
  • Visit Durban and Cape Town teams periodically for in-person support

If you’re steady, encouraging, and driven by people development — this is your opportunity to make a real impact.
