Mall jobs in South Africa

iO Sphere | Cape Town (Riverlands Mall) | Hybrid | Full-time

You're organised, fast, and commercially sharp. You've worked in admissions, recruitment, or consultative sales — managing high volumes without dropping the ball. You know how to qualify quickly, move people through a process, and close.

Now you want a role where you're selling something that actually matters — and where there's a clear path to bigger deals and more responsibility.

If you want consistent volume, real commission, and a bright future in B2B sales, we should talk.

We're one of the UK's fastest-growing Data & AI training companies. We don't just teach courses — we build immersive, scenario-based learning using PRISM, our simulated company with 500m+ rows of real data. Combined with high-touch coaching from industry practitioners, we deliver real capability development for working professionals.

Our programmes are funded through the UK government's skills-levy funding, which means we help people access career‑changing training at no cost to them. You're not selling software nobody uses. You're selling a career transformation.

This is a full‑cycle inbound sales role. You'll manage a busy pipeline of warm applicants — people who've already raised their hand — and guide them from first conversation to enrolled learner. This pipeline involves working with both individual learners and their companies, and so contains elements of B2B and B2C sales.

Speed, accuracy, and empathy are key.

• Managing 8-10 new inbound applications per day and a case load of 150 at any given time
• Running consultative qualification calls — quickly determining fit against funding eligibility and programme suitability
• Guiding applicants through the full journey: initial consultation, assessment, compliance documents, enrolment
• Owning your pipeline in our CRM — nothing slips, nothing gets stale
• Ensuring all funding paperwork is accurate and complete (this role sits at the intersection of sales and compliance)
• Hitting a monthly enrolment target of 15-20 learners
• Identifying opportunities to expand within applicants' organisations — if one person from a company is a fit, others might be too

This is high-volume, high‑pace work. On a typical day you might make 50-60 dials, run 10 video calls, and send a stack of emails and WhatsApps. If that sounds exhausting, this isn't for you. If it sounds energising, keep reading.

We don't want you to stay still. We're building the future leaders of our commercial team.

• Phase 1 (Months 0-12): Master the inbound machine. Become an expert on our products, funding rules, and consultative closing.
• Phase 2 (Months 12+): Once you've proven you can close warm leads consistently, you'll have the option to move into proactive B2B sales — hunting larger commercial deals and corporate partnerships, with higher commission tiers and strategic responsibility.

• You're selling something real. Our learners finish with genuine capability, not just a certificate. 4.9-star Google reviews. Career transformations. The impact is tangible.
• High‑quality product. We believe education should be a premium experience. You'll be the first step in that journey — and you'll be proud of what you're representing.
• High‑agency culture. We give you the tools and the leads, then trust you to execute. No micromanagement. Ownership and outcomes.
• Clear progression. This isn't a dead‑end SDR role. There's a defined path to senior sales for people who perform.

• 5+ years in admissions, recruitment, or consultative sales
• Comfortable with high volume — 8-10 new leads per day, a case load of 150 leads, 50-60 dials, constant context-switching
• Process‑driven and detail‑oriented — you can manage a CRM perfectly (we use hubspot) while handling complex compliance documents
• Strong communicator who can qualify quickly and build trust fast
• Commercial mindset balanced with genuine empathy — you want to hit target AND help people

• Ambitious — you want to master the basics of UK education sales and move into senior sales
• Energised by pace, not drained by it
• Reliable follow‑through — nothing falls through the cracks
• Comfortable in a fast‑moving startup environment

Our office is in Riverlands Mall. We value office culture and look for people to join us a few days a week to learn and collaborate, with remote flexibility the rest of the week.

Unrestricted right to work in the South AFrica required. We cannot offer visa sponsorship. We do not yet currently have a permanent entity so our South African opportunities are as contractors for now.
