Hybrid – Paarl, South Africa
The opportunity
We are looking for a driven Sales Assistant to join the Headspace Technologies team in Paarl. If you are someone who lights up in front of a client, communicates with confidence in both English and Afrikaans, and has a genuine interest in the fintech or financial services space – we would love to hear from you.
This is a basic salary role. No commission structure, no pressure targets – just good work, a great product, and a team that has your back.
What you will be doing
Your primary focus will be introducing Commspace to warm leads through product demonstrations -showing prospective clients what the platform does and why it matters to their business. As you settle in, there is scope to move into prospecting and lead generation too.
Day to day, this looks like:
- Conducting engaging product demos to qualified, warm leads
- Following up with prospects and moving them through the sales process
- Identifying and researching new lead opportunities in the IFA market
- Maintaining accurate records in our CRM
- Working closely with the broader team to refine messaging and improve conversion
- Being the kind of person who picks up the phone and makes things happen
Who you are
You do not need a long CV, but you do need the right attitude and a few non-negotiables:
- Fluent in both English and Afrikaans – written and spoken (this is essential, not optional)
- At least 3 years of experience in a sales, client-facing, or financial services role – OR a strong recent graduate with a relevant degree and the hunger to prove yourself
- Comfortable presenting and demonstrating software to clients (you do not need to be technical, just confident)
- Experience in fintech, financial services, or working with IFAs is a real advantage
- Self-motivated – you manage your own pipeline and follow through without being chased
- A natural communicator who builds rapport quickly and genuinely enjoys working with people
- Based in or near Paarl – this is a hybrid role and in-office time is expected
What we offer
- Competitive market-related basic salary
- A hybrid working arrangement based in Paarl
- Group benefits
- A close-knit team that takes its work seriously but doesn’t take itself too seriously
- Real opportunity to grow into a broader sales or account management role
How to apply
We are a small, focused team – we are looking for the right person, not the most applications. Please do not apply if you are looking for a remote-only role, a commission-heavy sales environment, or if you are not fluent in both English and Afrikaans.
If this sounds like you, send your CV and a short cover letter (no more than half a page) to careers@commspace.co.za. In your cover letter, tell us: what draws you to the fintech space, and describe a time you successfully converted a reluctant prospect into a client.
Applications without a cover letter will not be considered.
