Great culture starts with great talent. Find yours, faster.
Kazii is an AI-native recruitment platform built for South Africa. Our candidate product already helps job seekers apply smarter and faster. Now we're launching the employer side: a modern, affordable hiring platform built for the businesses that have been left behind. Think mid-sized manufacturers, foundries, engineering firms and logistics operators who still hire through a shared inbox and a spreadsheet.
We're not trying to out-feature the big ATS players. We're going after the companies that have no system at all, and giving them one that actually fits how they work.
We're looking for our first sales hire: someone who wants to build the commercial engine of a company from the ground up, not inherit one.
What you'll do
Own new business from first conversation to signed contract
Prospect into industrial, manufacturing and logistics businesses with 100 to 1,000+ employees
Run discovery with HR managers, operations heads and MDs
Convert pilots into long-term retainer clients
Work directly with the founder to shape pricing, the sales playbook, pitch and ideal customer profile
Feed market insights straight back into the product
Help hire and lead the sales team that comes after you
What we're looking for
3 to 5+ years of B2B sales experience, ideally selling software, HR/recruitment solutions or services into industrial or mid-market businesses
Comfortable picking up the phone, walking onto a factory floor and building trust with people who care about results, not buzzwords
A track record of owning a pipeline end to end
Energised, not intimidated, by a blank CRM
Self-directed, resourceful and at ease with early-stage ambiguity
Bonus points if you have
Experience in recruitment, talent acquisition or HR tech
An existing network in manufacturing, mining services, engineering or logistics
A track record of landing a startup's first customers
Familiarity with POPIA and how SA businesses think about candidate data
What you'll get
A competitive base salary plus commission
Meaningful equity as a founding team member
Direct influence on the product, the brand and the direction of the company
Flexible, hybrid working from Johannesburg
The rare chance to be employee number one at a company solving a real problem for South African businesses
