À propos du poste
We are looking for a Sales & Marketing Associate to drive school acquisition, partnerships, brand visibility and revenue growth as SmartSakuu expands in Ghana.
You will spend much of your time with school owners, headteachers, education stakeholders and partners: understanding how their schools run, showing them what SmartSakuu can change, and turning that interest into lasting partnerships. Alongside sales, you will shape how SmartSakuu is seen, from the story told in a product demonstration to the posts on our social media channels.
This is a hands-on growth role for someone who can combine sales execution, relationship building, market development and marketing strategy.
