Job description

Fundwell is hiring elite closers for our Cape Town sales floor.

At Fundwell, we're changing how US businesses access capital. Traditional financing is slow, complex, and buried in hidden fees — we do it faster, and we do it right. Using proprietary technology, deep industry expertise, and an ethics-first approach, we deliver quick, transparent, tailored funding to small and medium-sized businesses across the United States. Our Cape Town team is scaling fast, and we're looking for Sales Account Executives to help drive it.

The Role This is a pure closing seat. Qualified, in-market leads come to you — your job is to turn them into funded deals. You'll build trust with US business owners, structure the right funding solution, handle objections with poise, and get the deal over the line. You own the back half of the sales cycle: consultation, negotiation, close, and funding. Success here is measured in one thing — funded deals.

What Sets You Apart

  • Proven closing track record — you engage prospects, handle objections under pressure, and consistently close
  • Exceptional communicator — outstanding interpersonal skills and a genuine appetite for building relationships over the phone
  • Grit and drive — self-motivated, energetic, and resilient; you don't need to be chased
  • Goal-oriented — driven by exceeding targets and growing your own income
  • Tech-savvy — comfortable in a CRM (Salesforce or similar) and quick to adapt
  • Competitive edge — a background in high-pressure, competitive environments

Requirements

  • Matric (essential); relevant tertiary qualification advantageous
  • 2+ years' B2B sales experience in a Sales Account Executive (closing) role — carrying a target and owning deals through to close, not just lead generation or appointment setting
  • Fluent, neutral-accent English (written and verbal)
  • Able to work on-site in Cape Town CBD during US business hours (14:00-23:00 or 15:00-00:00)
  • Clear criminal and credit record (financial services requirement)

Advantageous

  • Prior experience selling into the US market
  • Fintech, lending, merchant services, or financial services background
  • Experience in a commission-led closing environment

Benefits

Competitive basic salary plus uncapped, tiered closing commission — the more you fund, the more you make.

  • Tiered commission on funded deals — your rate climbs as your monthly funded volume grows
  • Retroactive tiering — hit a higher tier and that rate applies to every deal you closed that month, not just the ones above the threshold
  • Launch bonus — an extra per-deal bonus applied retroactively across your month's deals once you pass a volume threshold, during your opening months
  • Warm, qualified lead flow — you close, you don't cold-dial from scratch
  • A proven playbook, structured onboarding, and ongoing coaching
  • Modern Cape Town CBD offices with a genuine high-performance floor culture
  • Clear progression into senior closing and team-lead positions
  • Transport provided at the end of every shift
  • Comprehensive medical benefits
