Sales Account Executive

Fundwell is hiring elite closers for our Cape Town sales floor.

Fundwell is a financial technology platform changing how businesses access capital. Traditional business financing means complex processes, hidden fees, and long approval times. We do it differently, and we do it fast.

Using proprietary technology, deep industry expertise, and an ethical-first approach, we deliver quick, transparent, tailored funding solutions to small and medium-sized businesses across the United States. Our Cape Town team is scaling, and we're looking for two Sales Account Executives to help drive it.

The Role

This is a closing seat. You'll work qualified, in-market leads through to funded deals — building trust with US business owners, structuring the right funding solution, handling objections with poise, and getting the deal over the line.

You own the back half of the sales cycle: consultation, negotiation, close, and funding. Success here is measured in funded deals.

Requirements

What Sets You Apart

• Proven closing track record — demonstrated ability to engage prospects, handle objections under pressure, and consistently close deals
• Exceptional communicator — outstanding interpersonal skills and a genuine appetite for building relationships over the phone
• Grit and drive — self-motivated, energetic and resilient; you don't need to be chased
• Goal-oriented — motivated by exceeding targets and by your own financial growth
• Tech-savvy — prior CRM experience (Salesforce or similar) and quick to adapt to new tools and processes
• Competitive edge — a background in high-pressure, competitive environments (athletics, hospitality, high-volume sales) is a strong plus

Minimum Requirements

• Matric (essential); relevant tertiary qualification advantageous
• 2+ years' sales experience with demonstrable closing responsibility
• Fluent, neutral-accent English (written and verbal)
• Able to work on-site in Cape Town CBD during US business hours
• Clear criminal and credit record (financial services requirement)

Advantageous

• Prior experience selling into the US market
• Fintech, lending, merchant services or financial services background
• Experience in a commission-led closing environment

Benefits

Competitive basic salary plus uncapped tiered closing commission.

• Tiered commission on funded deals — your commission rate climbs as your monthly funded-deal volume grows
• Retroactive tiering — when you reach a higher tier, the higher rate applies to every deal you closed that month, not only the ones above the threshold
• Launch bonus — an additional per-deal bonus applied retroactively across your month's deals once you pass a set volume threshold, available during your opening months in the role
• Warm, qualified lead flow — you close, you don't cold-dial from scratch
• A proven playbook, structured onboarding, and ongoing sales coaching
• Modern Cape Town CBD offices with a genuine high-performance floor culture
• Clear progression into senior closing and team lead positions
