ICT Sales Manager Full Time Job

ICT Sales Manager position available in Cape Town.

A growing ICT products and services company is expanding its regional footprint and looking for a sharp, commercially driven Sales Manager to take ownership of the Western Cape market.

They will be activating existing connections, leading a small regional team, and converting relationships with clients, vendors, and distributors into real revenue.

This role sits at the intersection of strategic leadership and hands-on deal-making, reporting into the Business Development Manager and overseeing a team that includes two Technical Account Managers and an Internal Sales resource.
