Job Description Pear is hiring on behalf of a fast-scaling Fin Tech operating across Africa, Latin America, and beyond.

This business is quietly disrupting the payments landscape by onboarding 10–20 new merchants each week — with zero marketing spend.

Now, they’re ready to level up and bring a driven Sales Executive into their Cape Town-based team.

You’ll step into a lean, agile organisation where your input directly shapes outcomes.

With big plans for expansion and a robust platform already in market, this is a rare chance to join a Fin Tech that’s past startup mode and ready for serious growth.

What You’ll Be Doing Drive merchant acquisition in South Africa, owning the full sales cycle from prospecting to close.

Work closely with a senior commercial lead to scale up market share while improving the merchant onboarding journey.

Pitch a cutting-edge payments platform to a variety of merchants — from enterprise players to emerging market brands.

Support with merchant success and account handover, ensuring a seamless transition from sale to activation.

Collaborate with leadership and help shape sales strategy, with real autonomy to test and iterate what works.

Requirements We’re Looking For Someone Who: Brings 5+ years experience in the Fin Tech or payments ecosystem.

Has a proven track record of hitting and exceeding sales targets.

Is self-starter-minded — you take ownership, solve problems, and don’t need micromanaging.

Communicates clearly and confidently — both in meetings and via email or pitch.

Thrives in a lean environment where you’re trusted to make decisions and move fast.

Is based in or near Cape Town (Century City) and open to working hybrid with occasional in-office presence.
