Job Description

Business Development Manager Specialist

Location: Johannesburg, South Africa
Salary: R25,000 – R30,000 (basic, negotiable based on experience)
Industry: IT / Software Solutions
Experience Required: Minimum 5 years in B2B IT Sales

Universal Knowledge Software is seeking a mature, results-driven Business Development Specialist to work directly with the CEO. This role blends strategic client engagement with hands-on sales execution—ideal for someone who thrives in high-trust environments and has a proven ability to convert leads into long-term business relationships.

This is not a cold-calling role. It’s about intelligent growth, product fluency, and supporting leadership in driving revenue through meaningful engagement.

Key Responsibilities

  • CEO Support in Lead Conversion & Sales Execution: Source, qualify, and convert leads into signed clients. Drive the full sales cycle from initial contact to deal closure.
  • Client Engagement & Support: Serve as a trusted liaison between the CEO and clients, ensuring clear communication, timely follow-ups, and high satisfaction.
  • Product Insight: Develop a deep understanding of the company’s software offerings to support client conversations and internal feedback loops.
  • Account Management: Maintain and grow relationships with existing clients, conduct reviews, and identify upsell/cross-sell opportunities.
  • Sales Strategy & Reporting: Track pipeline activity, forecast revenue, and maintain CRM records (Pipedrive) to support strategic decisions.
  • Internal Coordination: Collaborate with project teams to ensure smooth handovers, demo scheduling, and onboarding processes.

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Minimum 5 years of B2B sales experience in IT/software
  • Demonstrated success in converting leads and closing deals
  • Strong understanding of solution-based selling and client needs analysis
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills
  • Familiarity with CRM systems (especially Pipedrive)
  • Professional, composed, and self-directed
  • Confident working closely with executive leadership
  • Mature, emotionally intelligent, and commercially astute

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Direct exposure to strategic decision-making alongside the CEO
  • A respectful, collaborative culture focused on long-term client success
  • No cold calling—just meaningful engagement and intelligent growth
  • Competitive salary and room to grow within a dynamic environment

Preference may be given to candidates in line with the company’s Employment Equity plan.
