Sales Specialist
Requirements
Sales Specialist
Job description
Accessing locally relevant child and maternal health information
is a major problem for African women. The Internet has the power to change
this. Over 100 million mothers in Africa are picking up their smartphones to
learn about pregnancy and childbirth. However, in Kenya alone, the millions of
monthly online searches for ‘pregnancy’ or ‘baby’ result in virtually no
articles or video content created locally. Most of what African women are consuming
today online is tailored to Western audiences whose healthcare realities,
educational systems and everyday challenges differ vastly.
Do you love PowerPoint?
As the Sales Specialist, you will join our startup team to develop
new business and reach decision makers. This is a rare opportunity to join a
company at its early stage alongside some of the most influential Tech women in

great ideas who are willing to work hard – this reflects who we are and how we

What we look for in every Villager

prioritizing workload, working with limited resources, handling the unexpected,
recovering from setbacks and getting things done
·
Timeline driven– time is a valuable resource, which we respect and
we move with a sense of urgency. Delivering on time and managing expectations
when timelines need to change is a baseline expectation for everyone.

Proactive communicator — communicate proactively, confidently and
professionally with people within the organization and external partners. We
appreciate and foster responsiveness.
