Job description

Snapplify is a leading global edutech company focused on content distribution, mobile publishing, and innovation for digital education. Snapplify provides a comprehensive platform for distribution, reading and retail of digital educational content to educational institutions, and individual readers. Since its establishment in 2012, the company has grown and expanded into new markets, with offices across South Africa, as well as in Nairobi, Amsterdam and United States.

Our responsive and interactive e-learning solutions are already being implemented in hundreds of schools. Our solutions are industry celebrated and globally recognised for their innovation in technology. Snapplify has won multiple awards for revolutionising e-book distribution for schools.

As the account manager will be the face of our business. You are passionate about education and want to help our clients pinpoint the right mix of Snapplify products to suit their needs. You know the industry inside-out (and if not, you’re constantly learning).

Not only are you comfortable with technology and a wide range of online media, you’re a go-getter: you’ll be out of the office often, travelling to trade shows and meeting with prospective customers. You work as well independently as you do on a small team. Above all, you’re proactive, and your sales-focus helps us expand our new and existing client relationships.

The awesome work you will be doing:

• Assist in the development of effective strategies, based on key insights, and increase penetration into the education market.
• Identify opportunities for partners in the education industry.
• Develop and provide presentations on Snapplify products to prospective customers. Client meetings will be performed over the phone and face-to-face when needed.
• Drive Snapplify’s customer acquisition, conversion and retention goals.
• Negotiate and manage contracts.
• Ensure all partnered schools are following best practices in setting up and managing their e-learning platforms.

Minimum qualifications:

• BA degree/diploma preferred; or equivalent practical experience (three years). 
• Ability to speak, read and write in English.
• Proven technical ability with CRM programs a plus.
• Strong communication skills, persuasive, and able to pitch to prospective clients face-to-face and over the phone.
