Business Development Consultant - Cape (Cape Town)
What if the next deal you closed meant a truck driver got home safely tonight?
Most fleets only find out about risky driving after the crash. We’re working with a global fleet safety technology business that changes that. They use AI-powered in-cab cameras, real-time fatigue detection and a human review team that alerts fleet managers within minutes of a critical-risk event, so they can step in before something goes wrong. The business is growing fast internationally, with new markets opening in Europe and the Middle East.
They’re hiring a New Business Sales Consultant for the Cape territory. The role is based in Cape Town and covers the Cape territories. It’s a hunting role: you’ll build your own pipeline and win new fleet customers across logistics, transport, mining and passenger mobility. You’ll own each deal from first conversation through to contract and installation, then hand the account to the customer success team.
REQUIRED PROFILE
- Proven B2B new business sales: you’ve won new logos, not just grown existing accounts
- You own the full cycle: prospecting, qualifying, writing proposals, negotiating and closing
- You sell on value: you show customers the operational and financial results, rather than reaching for a discount
- You keep your CRM and forecasting disciplined
- Comfortable with longer sales cycles that involve several stakeholders
- Confident talking to business owners, fleet managers and senior decision-makers
- Able to explain a technical solution in clear commercial terms
- Polished and confident without being pushy, and genuinely coachable
Please note: this role isn’t a fit for retail, promo, high-volume transactional or account management backgrounds.
NICE TO HAVE
- Experience in fleet, telematics, automotive, logistics, SaaS or security/monitoring tech
- You don’t need a technical background. If you’ve sold a solution to operations or commercial buyers, you’ll learn the fleet side quickly
WHY THIS ROLE
- A basic salary well above the market for consultant-level seats
- Sell technology that measurably prevents crashes, with a purpose built around getting every driver home safely
- Work directly with a Chief Revenue Officer who has led telematics sales at global level
- The stability of an established, listed group plus the energy of an international growth push
Compensation: R40 000 - R50 000 basic per month + commission
