M-KOPA is looking for a Sales Executive to recruit, lead, and grow a team of Direct Sales Representatives (DSRs) — putting M-KOPA's products into the hands of customers who genuinely need them, in communities you know better than anyone. What the work actually looks like You'll be responsible for building and managing your own team of DSRs — recruiting the right people, coaching them up, and holding them accountable to performance standards that keep everyone growing. You'll monitor and evaluate DSR performance regularly, identify where individuals need support or development, and step in with the kind of hands-on coaching that turns an average month into a great one. Beyond the team, you'll develop local networks that open up new sales opportunities — relationships with community members, local businesses, and anyone who can help M-KOPA reach more customers in your area. You'll manage DSR inventory, ensuring your team always has what they need to operate effectively, and you'll submit weekly activity plans and reports to your Regional Manager so that your progress — and your team's — is always visible. The targets are real and the accountability is clear. This is a results-oriented role, and success is measured in numbers. But the way you get there — the relationships you build, the team you develop, the community presence you establish — is what makes this more than just a sales job. What makes you ready for this A track record in sales — ideally in retail, fibre, insurance, or a comparable field-based environment — with experience managing or mentoring a team of agents or representatives and a demonstrable ability to drive performance through people, not just personal output Proven ability to build local networks and develop sales opportunities from the ground up, with the community knowledge, interpersonal skills, and self-motivation to operate independently in the field and consistently hit targets Strong practical skills across team coaching, inventory management, performance monitoring, and reporting — with the energy, reliability, and sense of ownership that a field sales leadership role demands Formal qualifications are welcome but not required. What matters is what you've done and what you can demonstrate. A candid note on what this role requires Field sales is not a passive profession. You'll be out in your area, working alongside your DSRs, building relationships, solving problems, and keeping momentum going even when conditions aren't ideal. The targets don't pause, and the team looks to you to set the standard. If you're someone who gets energy from being in the field, takes ownership seriously, and finds satisfaction in watching a team member outperform their own expectations — this is your kind of role.
