About Company:
Utiva is an education technology company focused on delivering high-quality technology skills training, including data science, product management, UI/UX, cloud computing, and related domains through cohort-based, remote and instructor-led programs. The company aims to bridge the skills gap, enabling learners across Africa to access tech training and transition into new roles in the global workforce.
Job Description:
- As a Growth Manager on Utiva's B2B team, you will be responsible for driving enterprise revenue by identifying, engaging, and closing corporate clients who need scalable workforce solutions.
- You will work with HR leaders, L&D teams, and business executives to help organisations build, upskill, and deploy talent — contributing to Utiva's mission of powering global workforce infrastructure.
What You'll Do
- Prospect and convert corporate accounts including SMEs, multinationals, NGOs, and government agencies
- Manage the full B2B sales cycle — from discovery and proposal to negotiation and close
- Build and maintain relationships with key decision-makers across HR, People Operations, and Executive functions
- Develop tailored proposals and learning solutions aligned to each client's workforce needs
- Hit quarterly pipeline and revenue targets consistently
- Maintain accurate records of accounts, activities, and deal stages in the CRM
- Collaborate with the Customer Success team to ensure smooth client onboarding and retention
- Feed market intelligence back to the Product and Curriculum teams to sharpen Utiva's enterprise offering
- Represent Utiva in corporate meetings, industry events, and partner engagements
- The shift in framing moves it from a high-volume inbound sales role to a consultative, relationship-driven enterprise role — which better reflects how B2B buying decisions actually work. Want me to also add qualifications or a compensation structure?
Requirements:
- 3–5 years of experience in B2B sales, enterprise business development, or account management — ideally within EdTech, HR Tech, SaaS, or professional services
- Proven track record of closing corporate deals and consistently meeting or exceeding revenue targets
- Strong understanding of workforce development, talent management, or L&D — or the ability to learn fast and speak credibly to these topics
- Experience engaging senior stakeholders including HR Directors, L&D Managers, COOs, and C-suite executives
- Excellent communication and presentation skills — written, verbal, and in-person
- Ability to build and manage a sales pipeline independently, from prospecting through to close
- Comfortable working with CRM tools to track activity, forecast pipeline, and report on performance
- Strong commercial instincts — you understand how businesses think about ROI on talent investment
- Highly organised, self-motivated, and able to manage multiple deals and relationships simultaneously
- Experience working in a fast-paced, target-driven environment with a startup or scale-up mindset
Nice to Have:
- Familiarity with global hiring, remote workforce trends, or cross-border employment compliance
- Existing network within HR, People Operations, or corporate L&D circles
- Experience selling into Africa, the UK, or other emerging markets
- Exposure to workforce platforms, EOR solutions, or talent marketplaces.
