More than that — you know how to get other people selling. You've built relationships in your area, you understand how to motivate a team when the month gets tough, and you have the kind of local knowledge that no training manual can give someone. The question is whether your current role is giving you the freedom, the backing, and the mission to make the most of it. M-KOPA is looking for a Sales Executive to recruit, lead, and grow a team of Direct Sales Representatives (DSRs) — putting M-KOPA's products into the hands of customers who genuinely need them, in communities you know better than anyone.

We're growing toward 10 million customers, and that growth happens one community, one DSR team, one sale at a time. Our product range includes smartphones, digital loans, device protection, health insurance, and mobile data. These aren't luxury items for people who already have options. They're tools that change how people live, earn, and connect — and the Sales Executive is the person who makes sure they're available where they're needed.
