SUMMARY:
Lead High-Value Mining Technology Deals Across Africa!

POSITION INFO:
A global technology leader operating in the mining and mineral processing space is seeking a senior Business Development Manager for Africa. This is a strategic, high-impact role for a commercially astute professional trusted to operate autonomously, manage major accounts, and close complex, high-value deals across the continent.

This position is suited to a seasoned professional, not a junior seller — someone comfortable engaging at executive, technical, and commercial levels within the mining industry.

Non-Negotiable Requirements

Advanced tertiary qualification in Engineering (or closely related discipline)
Extensive experience in mining, specifically within mineral processing technologies
Proven track record managing key accounts and large, complex sales cycles
Ability to operate independently and represent the business at senior industry level
Strong commercial acumen with confidence in technical and commercial negotiations
Willingness to travel across Africa as required

Job Experience & Skills Required

Lead and execute Africa-wide sales strategy for advanced mining technologies
Own and grow strategic key accounts across the region
Drive market development, partnerships, and long-term client relationships
Facilitate high-level technical and commercial discussions
Identify upsell, cross-sell, and expansion opportunities within existing accounts
Represent the business at conferences, industry events, and client engagements
Deliver disciplined reporting, forecasting, and pipeline management

Why This Role?

This is a career-defining opportunity for a senior sales leader who wants:

Authority to operate at executive level
Exposure to significant budgets and decision-makers
Influence over Africa-wide market strategy
A role where performance and credibility matter more than micromanagement
