Careers
B2B Sales Manager – Artificial Intelligence
Pay: GNF 8 to 10 million gross per month
About AfriAgent
AfriAgent brings artificial intelligence to businesses in Africa, starting with Guinea. Each company gets its own private, secure AI assistant that works with its data and tools, not just its documents:
- It reads, summarises and writes: contracts, quotes, reports, meeting minutes, translations, from the company’s Word, PDF or Excel files.
- It connects to the company’s systems (databases, business software, network equipment) and answers in real time, read-only. Already in place: spotting the down zones of a public WiFi network and diagnosing them remotely.
- It follows the company’s own methods: diagnostic procedures, prospecting, case analysis.
- It searches the web and always cites its sources.
- Every employee has their own access; management handles members and tracks each person’s usage, in GNF.
Companies pay in Guinean francs, by bank transfer, and their data stays private. AfriAgent also offers an API for developers and, soon, an assistant for the general public.
The role
Grow AfriAgent’s revenue with companies and institutions in Guinea: build the customer portfolio, sign subscription contracts and get them renewed. As the company’s first salesperson, you define and run the sales approach in a market that is still new.
Main responsibilities
Business development
- Identify and qualify target companies by sector (banks, insurers, telecoms, mining, consulting firms, NGOs, public bodies) and build a pipeline of opportunities.
- Get meetings with decision-makers: general management, IT departments, business departments.
- Run discovery meetings to identify each customer’s use cases.
- Demonstrate the assistant on the customer’s real data, documents and tools.
- Write commercial proposals and answer tenders and requests for proposals.
- Negotiate and close contracts.
Account management
- Support new customers through set-up and onboarding.
- Track usage and satisfaction, prepare renewals and grow upsells (new services, new users).
- Follow up on payments and make sure payment terms are met.
- Build and run a network of referral partners (integrators, operators, consulting firms).
Forecasting and reporting
- Keep the CRM up to date: pipeline, visit reports, account plans.
- Forecast sales and track targets: revenue, new customers, renewal rate.
- Watch the market, competitors and prices, and pass customer needs back to shape the product.
- Represent AfriAgent at trade shows, events and business meetings.
Who we are looking for
- At least a bachelor’s degree (master’s a plus) in sales, marketing, management or a related field.
- 3 to 5 years of business-to-business sales in Guinea, ideally in software, digital services, telecoms, banking or insurance.
- A track record in solution selling (long cycles, several stakeholders) and an established network among Conakry decision-makers.
- At ease presenting a digital product and explaining technical ideas simply. No need to be an IT specialist: AI and product training is provided.
- Strong negotiation and proposal-writing skills; comfortable with office tools and a CRM.
- Results-driven, autonomous, rigorous and honest.
- Available to travel often to customers; a driving licence is a plus.
Languages
- Fluent French required.
- Professional English a plus.
- Susu, Pular or Malinke: an asset.
What we offer
- A permanent contract and a salary of GNF 8 to 10 million gross per month depending on experience, above market, reviewed every year.
- A real AI product that sells itself in demos: customers see the result on their own data and tools.
- A new market where you arrive among the first, and a role that grows with the company.
- Ready-made sales tools: demo videos, a demo workspace, a sales kit.
- Artificial intelligence training and an office in Conakry.
