Job Description
About the Business
A founder-led events and crew business operating at pace. The team is lean, remote and expected to deliver without hand-holding. Early mornings, late evenings and shifting priorities are part of the rhythm. If you thrive on commercial momentum and a high-energy environment, read on.
The Role
We are looking for a South Africa-based Business Development Coordinator to join a growing remote team. This is a hands-on commercial role - you will be generating new business, managing pipelines, progressing opportunities and keeping things moving. The benchmark for this hire is high. The current Ops Coordinator drives 30%+ year-on-year growth and brings order to a fast-moving operation with minimal direction. We are looking for the same.
What You Will Be Doing
Prospecting, outreach and pipeline management - identifying and progressing new business opportunities
Managing CRM records, follow-ups and deal tracking with precision
Preparing bids, proposals and client onboarding materials
Communicating directly with clients, crews and suppliers on behalf of the business
Supporting operational coordination as needed - this is a hybrid role and operational awareness matters
Reporting on pipeline activity, conversion rates and commercial output
The Environment
The business is led by a high-energy, fast-moving founder. The team operates in shifts covering 6am to 10pm. You will be expected to be responsive and proactive within your shift window. This is not a quiet desk job. It is an opportunity for genuine commercial responsibility and real ownership from day one.
What This Role Is Not
It is not a traditional sales role with a long ramp-up and hand-holding
It is not a pure admin or support position - commercial output is the primary measure of success
It is not 9 to 5, Monday to Friday
It is not for candidates who need constant direction or reassurance to get moving
Remuneration
R45 000 per month | Contractor basis | Remote, South Africa
What We Are Looking For
3+ years in business development, sales coordination or a commercial operations role
A proven track record of contributing to revenue growth - we want numbers, not job descriptions
Strong CRM and pipeline management experience
A confident, independent communicator who can hold a client relationship without supervision
Comfortable working in a founder-led environment where priorities shift quickly
Experience in events, hospitality, entertainment or high-volume sectors is a strong advantage
Familiarity with business tools - CRM, project management, accounting software
Based in South Africa, with a reliable home working setup and the ability to work within a shift window between 6am and 10pm
R45 000 per month, contractor basis
Fully remote within South Africa
Genuine commercial responsibility and real ownership from day one
Direct exposure to the founder and the wider commercial operation
Scope to grow with a fast-moving events and crew business
