Sales Manager (JB6159)
Sales Manager (JB6159)
Location: Century City, Western Cape
Salary: R90 000 to R100 000 per month plus commission
Employment Type: Permanent
A growing ICT products and services company is expanding its regional footprint and looking for a sharp, commercially driven Sales Manager to take ownership of the Western Cape market. Operating in a lean, fast-moving environment built on agility and client responsiveness, this business has earned a strong reputation for delivering technology solutions with speed and precision. The culture is structured, accountability-focused, and rewards people who take initiative, follow through, and make things happen.
This is a rare opportunity for an ICT sales leader who already has the relationships, the market credibility, and the drive to hit the ground running in the Western Cape. The successful candidate will not be warming up a pipeline from scratch. They will be activating existing connections, leading a small regional team, and converting relationships with clients, vendors, and distributors into real revenue. This role sits at the intersection of strategic leadership and hands-on deal-making, reporting into the Business Development Manager and overseeing a team that includes two Technical Account Managers and an Internal Sales resource.
Minimum Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Information Technology or a related field, with a Master's degree preferred
10 or more years of experience in a sales management or senior sales leadership role within the ICT sector
Demonstrated ability to lead, develop and drive high-performing sales teams
Experience managing complex, large-scale sales opportunities including strategic bids and tender submissions
Strong background in sales forecasting, pipeline management, KPI tracking and data-driven decision-making
Established, verifiable relationships with clients, vendors and distributors within the Western Cape ICT market
Existing regional network and market credibility, with the ability to access decision-makers without an extended ramp-up period
Proven track record of converting relationships into measurable revenue, gross profit and repeat business
Strong understanding of ICT vendor ecosystems including Dell, HP, HPE, Huawei, Lenovo, Veeam and related OEM operations
Solid grasp of ICT products and solutions across hardware, infrastructure, storage, virtualisation, end-user computing and associated services
Demonstrated knowledge of government procurement processes, tender requirements and bid compliance
Excellent pricing, negotiation and commercial deal-structuring skills
Key Responsibilities
Leverage established Western Cape market relationships to open doors, access decision-makers and generate new business opportunities
Act as the regional representative for the company, strengthening its presence, credibility and positioning across the Western Cape
Personally engage in strategic client meetings, vendor negotiations, deal registrations and pricing discussions

Monitor pipeline health, forecast accuracy, quote activity, tender opportunities and deal conversion
Ensure sales targets, gross profit targets and key performance indicators are met or exceeded
