Sales Executive – FinTech & Payments

Drive merchant acquisition in South Africa, owning the full sales cycle from prospecting to close. Work closely with a senior commercial lead to scale up market share while improving the merchant onboarding journey. Pitch a cutting-edge payments platform to a variety of merchants — from enterprise players to emerging market brands. Support with merchant success and account handover, ensuring a seamless transition from sale to activation. Collaborate with leadership and help shape sales strategy, with real autonomy to test and iterate what works.

Pear is hiring on behalf of a fast-scaling FinTech operating across Africa, Latin America, and beyond. This business is quietly disrupting the payments landscape by onboarding 10–20 new merchants each week — with zero marketing spend. Now, they're ready to level up and bring a driven Sales Executive into their Cape Town-based team.
