We're growing our presence in South Africa and looking for someone who can help us reach more people, build meaningful partnerships, and drive adoption.

About the Role

We're looking for an ambitious, resourceful, and well-connected Growth & Partnerships Executive to help accelerate Raenest's growth in South Africa.

We want someone who understands the local market, knows how to find opportunities, build relationships, acquire customers, and turn ideas into results.

This is a hands-on role. You'll be connecting with people, building communities, exploring partnerships, executing campaigns, and helping more South Africans discover what they can do with Raenest.

You'll work closely with our central growth team to identify opportunities and drive measurable results.

Primary duties and responsibilities

• Execute local campaigns: Support grassroots marketing, referral programmes, events, community activations, and other growth initiatives.
• Drive product adoption: Help customers discover and use Raenest's available products, including global accounts, international transfers, cards, and other financial solutions.
• Activate and retain customers: Turn signups into active, transacting customers and encourage repeat usage.
• Build local relationships: Connect with influencers, community leaders, business networks, and potential distribution partners across target markets.
• Understand the market: Gather customer insights, monitor competitors, and identify local payment behaviours, challenges, and opportunities.
• Own your numbers: Track customer acquisition, activation, partnership performance, transaction growth, and other key metrics.
• Support market expansion: Help identify local opportunities, market requirements, and potential partners as Raenest expands across South Africa.

  • Strong understanding of the South African consumer and business landscape.
  • A natural networker who knows how to connect with people and build relationships.
