Hi! I’m Soumaya, Sales Manager for North Africa at WeTravel, based in Morocco .
I’m currently looking for a motivated and proactive Account Executive based in South Africa to join our global sales team. While my base is in the North, we are seeing explosive growth across the entire continent, and we need a high-performer to become part of a success hungry team who leads the charge in the vibrant South African multi-day tour operator market.
I actually started at WeTravel as an Account Executive myself, so I know firsthand how rewarding this role is for someone with a 'builder' mindset. Since we launched our North African operations in 2023, the momentum has been incredible. We aren't just looking for someone to hit a target; we’re looking for a hunter who wants to redefine what’s possible in the African travel tech space.
Our goal is bold: building the world’s leading booking and payments platform for group travel. You’ll be instrumental in expanding our footprint in South Africa and contributing directly to that mission.
How We Work
At WeTravel, our Sales team combines autonomy with strong collaboration. As an Account Executive, you'll own the full sales cycle — from initial outreach and discovery calls to product demos, closing deals, and smoothly handing off to onboarding.
We focus on understanding each client's unique needs and aligning our solutions to match. You won’t just sell — you’ll guide and support potential customers in discovering how WeTravel (products) can truly help their business thrive.
We value proactive, solution-oriented individuals who aren’t afraid to take initiative, spot opportunities, and act on them. Our team moves fast, supports one another, and celebrates wins together — big and small. You’ll spend most of your time doing what actually moves the needle: prospecting, demoing, and following up with qualified leads.
