[Hiring] Account Executive @WeTravel

Role Description

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.

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.

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 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.
