Careers
West Africa Business Developer – Artificial Intelligence (remote)
Pay: €500 fixed per month + 10% commission
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
Open up the West African markets next to Guinea: Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone and Liberia. Working remotely from your country, you find the first customers and partners, sign the first contracts and tell us what it takes to succeed in each country. You are AfriAgent’s first person outside Guinea: the role is meant to grow with the markets you open.
Main responsibilities
Market entry
- Map targets in each country: promising sectors (banks, insurers, telecoms, mining, consulting firms, NGOs, regional organisations), decision-makers, competitors, going prices.
- Propose the order of countries and a 6-month action plan, then carry it out.
- Report what needs adapting: payment methods, billing currency, data protection rules, language.
Business development
- Prospect and get meetings with general management and IT departments.
- Demonstrate the assistant, by video call or in person, on the customer’s real cases.
- Write proposals, answer tenders, negotiate and sign the first contracts and pilot projects.
- Follow your customers through set-up and prepare renewals.
Partnerships
- Recruit and run reseller or referral partners: integrators, telecom operators, consulting firms, schools.
- Represent AfriAgent at trade shows, tech events and business meetings across the region.
Reporting
- Keep the CRM up to date (pipeline, reports, forecasts) and send a written update every week.
Who we are looking for
- At least a bachelor’s degree (master’s a plus) in business, management, engineering or a related field.
- At least 5 years of business development or B2B sales in at least one of the countries listed, ideally in software, digital services, telecoms or consulting.
- An established network among decision-makers in your country, and ideally in a second country of the region.
- A track record in solution selling and, ideally, in opening a new market or launching a product.
- Fully autonomous remote work: organisation, written follow-up, reliability on commitments.
- At ease presenting a digital product; AI and product training is provided.
- A reliable computer and connection; available to travel in the region and to Conakry.
Languages
- Fluent French required.
- Professional English: required for Sierra Leone and Liberia, a real asset elsewhere.
- A local language of your country: an asset.
What we offer
- A full-time contractor agreement, remote from your country: €500 fixed per month and 10% commission on the contracts you sign.
- A real AI product that already works and sells itself in demos.
- New markets where you arrive among the first, and a role that grows with the countries you open.
- Ready-made sales tools: demo videos, a demo workspace, a sales kit, in French and English.
- Artificial intelligence training and a written, transparent culture.
