Market Development Specialist – Enterprise HR Technology

About the position

Build the Future of HR Technology in South Africa


Prime Reason has been selected as the South African partner for one of the world’s fastest-growing HR technology platforms.


This is a rare opportunity to join at the beginning of a major market launch, introducing an award-winning, AI-powered Human Capital Management platform that is transforming the way organisations manage people, productivity and growth across the globe.


We are looking for a highly driven Market Development Specialist who thrives on opening new markets, building executive relationships and creating commercial success. This is a role for someone who enjoys building a business—not simply managing an existing customer base.


If you are motivated by achievement, enjoy engaging with senior executives and want to represent a genuinely modern SaaS platform that is redefining HR technology, we’d like to hear from you.


About the Opportunity


You will lead business development across South Africa, introducing an intelligent, cloud-based HR platform that brings together the entire employee lifecycle within a single, intuitive solution.


The platform combines automation, AI-driven workflows, analytics and employee self-service to help organisations reduce administration, improve employee experience and enable better business decisions.


Working with HR, Finance, Operations and Executive Leadership teams, you will identify opportunities where organisations can modernise their people operations through digital transformation.


This is a consultative sales role focused on understanding business challenges and demonstrating measurable business value.

You should be able to demonstrate that you have:

• Built new business pipelines from scratch.


• Successfully sold enterprise SaaS solutions.


• Opened new accounts in competitive markets.


• Developed trusted relationships with executive-level stakeholders.


• Managed consultative B2B sales processes.


• Consistently exceeded sales targets.


• Worked within performance-based remuneration and incentive structures.

Experience selling one or more of the following would be highly advantageous:

• Human Capital Management (HCM)


• Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS)


• Workforce Management


• Time Attendance


• Payroll Technology


• Talent Acquisition


• Recruitment Technology


• Applicant Tracking Systems


• Employee Experience Platforms


• Learning or Performance Management Solutions


• Enterprise SaaS Solutions

Who will succeed:


Highly self-motivated and results driven.

• Passionate about winning new business.


• Comfortable engaging C-level executives.


• Curious about technology and digital transformation.


• Able to simplify complex technology into clear business outcomes.


• Commercially astute with excellent business acumen.


• Resilient and persistent.


• Professional, credible and relationship focused.


• Comfortable working independently while collaborating with a high-performing team.

Why This Opportunity Is Different
This is more than another software sales role.


You will represent a globally recognised HR technology platform that is rapidly expanding internationally and is now establishing its presence in South Africa.


The platform combines modern user experience, AI-driven automation, workflow intelligence and powerful analytics within a single integrated solution designed for today’s workforce.


Joining now means becoming part of the founding commercial team responsible for establishing one of the most exciting HR technology brands in the South African market.


You’ll have the opportunity to shape market strategy, influence customer success and build long-term relationships with some of South Africa’s leading organisations.
