Growth Director at Salt South Africa

• We’re looking for a proven Growth Director who has already sold incentive, rewards, loyalty or promotional programmes – and knows how to close large, multi‑year deals with blue‑chip brands.
• If you’ve successfully sold experience-led incentives, rewards programmes, loyalty platforms or promotional solutions, and you want to be financially rewarded for doing it again at scale, this role is for you.

Why this role pays off

• Highly competitive base salary
• Strong commission and performance incentives linked to large, long‑term contracts
• Significant earning upside through evergreen loyalty and rewards programmes
• Autonomy to own and grow major accounts
• Access to household‑name clients across retail, FMCG, financial services, telecoms and utilities
• Recognition, progression and influence tied directly to results

The opportunity

• You’ll be responsible for driving growth by securing high‑value, multi‑year incentive and rewards contracts with leading brands.
• These are complex, strategic sales – not one‑off campaigns.

You will:

• Sell loyalty, rewards and incentive-based engagement programmes
• Target C‑suite, marketing, loyalty and commercial leadership
• Lead pitches, RFP responses and negotiations end‑to‑end
• Convert insight, data and creativity into commercial wins
• Build long-term partnerships that generate sustained revenue and commission

Must‑have experience (non‑negotiable)

• Proven experience selling incentive, rewards, loyalty or promotional programmes
• Track record of closing large, complex, multi‑year B2B deals
• Experience selling into enterprise or blue‑chip organisations
• Comfortable managing long sales cycles and senior stakeholders
• Strong understanding of customer engagement, behaviour change and ROI‑driven incentive strategies

About you

• Commercial, strategic and highly persuasive
• Confident selling value‑driven incentive solutions, not discounts
• Motivated by targets, recognition and financial reward
• Credible at board and executive level
• Energised by networking, pitching and winning
