About the JobThis is a hands-on sales leadership role. We are not looking for a real estate practitioner or property consultant. We are looking for a driven B2B sales leader who knows how to build relationships, win new business, and lead high-performing sales teams.
Experience selling to the real estate industry is a strong advantage. However, we also welcome candidates with a strong FMCG sales leadership background, particularly those who have built and managed successful field sales teams and have a proven track record of acquiring and growing B2B clients.
You will not only lead—you will sell. In the early stage, you will be on the ground yourself, closing deals and building the revenue base. At the same time, you will recruit, build, and develop your own high-performing sales team from scratch. This is a builder's role for someone who leads by example and is not afraid to be the top performer on their own team.
If you have spent years closing property deals as an agent, this is probably not the role for you. But if you have a track record of selling solutions to businesses, building strong commercial relationships, and creating high-performing sales teams, we'd love to hear from you.Job ResponsibilitiesPersonally sell Jiji's premium listing and advertising packages to real estate agents, brokers, developers, and property management companies

Experience selling to business clients and building long-term commercial relationships.
Existing network of real estate professionals, agents, developers, and agencies in the Nigerian market is a strong advantage, but not a requirement.
Strong FMCG sales leadership background, particularly in building and managing high-performing field sales teams, will be highly considered.
Proven ability to both sell individually and build, lead, and scale a sales team.
Strong understanding of how the real estate industry operates in Nigeria, or the ability to quickly learn the market.
