Market Expansion Manager

Hollard Insurance

Date: 1 hour ago
City: Johannesburg, Gauteng
Contract type: Full time

What if your next role wasn’t just about growth, but about creating it?

At Hollard, growth is not accidental. It is intentional, disciplined, and grounded in real market insight.

We are looking for a Market Expansion Manager to help us turn signal into opportunity, and opportunity into something tangible, scalable, and real.

About The Role

  • This is a role for an individual who is comfortable operating in the early stages of growth, where ambiguity exists, yet significant opportunity can be shaped and realised.
  • Working closely with the Head of Market Expansion, you will focus on startup, early stage and smaller expansion opportunities, helping to shape, qualify, and progress them with pace and structure.
  • You will sit at the intersection of market insight, commercial thinking, and execution, ensuring opportunities move from idea to pilot to deal, with the right governance and coordination in place.

What You’ll Do

  • Identify and progress high-potential opportunities across startups, emerging platforms, and new partners.
  • Translate market signals into clear, commercially viable opportunities.
  • Drive early-stage initiatives from concept to pilot, testing what works and scaling what matters.
  • Build strong stakeholder relationships to move ideas into action.
  • Own the progression of deals through to proposal, contracting, and handover.
  • Coordinate across teams to ensure opportunities are ready to deliver, not just ready to sell.
  • Maintain a disciplined, forward-moving pipeline.
