Learner Acquisition Executive

GrowthPro Africa is talent, learning, technology and business development company helping individuals and organisations build the capabilities, infrastructure and systems required to perform, grow and scale.

Through our iLearn platform, we equip learners with career-relevant skills in AI, technology, business and emerging fields.

We're looking for an ambitious, results-driven Sales & Learner Acquisition Executive to accelerate learner enrolment and expand our reach.

This is a 3-month, performance-based contract for a sales professional who knows how to turn prospective learners into paying customers.

You'll take ownership of learner acquisition, from identifying prospects and building relationships to converting leads into confirmed enrolments.

This opportunity also offers a potential pathway to a full-time leadership role. Exceptional performers who consistently demonstrate strong sales results, strategic thinking and leadership potential will be considered for the position of Business Executive Lead, with a more comprehensive employment package comprising fixed salary, variable performance-based compensation and additional benefits.

Progression will be based on demonstrated performance, business needs and a separate assessment process.

• Develop and execute monthly learner acquisition strategies.
• Identify, engage and convert prospective learners across digital, professional and community channels.
• Build and manage a consistent pipeline of qualified leads.
• Communicate course benefits, address objections and close enrolments.
• Explore partnerships, referrals and other scalable acquisition opportunities.
• Track leads, conversions and sales performance.
• Provide regular performance reports and recommendations to improve results.
• Represent GrowthPro Africa professionally and uphold ethical sales practices.

Monthly Target: 100 confirmed paying learners

Monthly Earning Potential: ₦500,000

Contract Duration: 3 months

• ₦5,000 commission for each verified, attributable paid enrolment.
• ₦500,000 monthly earnings upon achieving 100 qualifying enrolments.
• ₦1,500,000 total earning potential over the 3-month contract at target performance.
• Commissions are earned on qualifying enrolments even when the monthly target is not fully achieved.
• No fixed salary during the initial contract; compensation is entirely performance-based.
• Commission payments are subject to enrolment verification and reconciliation.

From Sales Executive to Business Executive Lead

We see this engagement as more than a short-term sales opportunity. It is also an opportunity to identify individuals capable of taking greater ownership of GrowthPro Africa's commercial growth.

Successful candidates may be considered for a full-time Business Executive Lead position, offering:

• Competitive fixed monthly salary.
• Variable pay linked to business and individual performance.
• A more comprehensive employment and benefits package.
• Greater responsibility for business development, revenue growth and commercial partnerships.
• Opportunities to contribute to business strategy and lead growth initiatives.

Please note: Consideration for a full-time position is performance-dependent and does not constitute a guarantee of employment after the contract period.

• Proven experience in sales, customer acquisition, business development or performance marketing.
• Demonstrated ability to generate leads and convert prospects into paying customers.
• Strong communication, negotiation and relationship-building skills.
• Experience using LinkedIn, WhatsApp, social media and other digital channels for sales.
• Ability to work independently, manage a sales pipeline and meet monthly targets.
• Strong accountability, persistence and results orientation.

Experience selling online courses, professional training, educational programmes or digital products will be an advantage.

We're particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate:

• Previous measurable sales or customer acquisition results.
• A practical strategy for acquiring 100 paying learners monthly.
• Experience building partnerships, referral networks or community-driven sales channels.
• The ability to generate leads independently rather than relying entirely on company-provided prospects.
• Leadership potential and the ability to contribute to broader business growth.
