About SeekProv

SeekProv is a startup offering a local services marketplace that helps people find trusted service providers while helping skilled providers gain visibility, trust, and customers. 

We are looking for a driven and highly organised Sales Manager to lead provider acquisition and field execution for our Owerri launch.

Your Role

You will be responsible for driving provider acquisition and local growth in Owerri.

During SeekProv’s initial launch campaign, you will directly supervise our Field Onboarding Agents, monitor their performance, and help them achieve the set growth targets.

This is a hands-on role. You will be expected to coach the team, solve field problems, and lead by example by actively participating in acquisition activities.

As the temporary field campaign reduces, you will take increasing responsibility for directly driving SeekProv’s ongoing provider acquisition, partnerships, and growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct weekly performance reviews and provide coaching, feedback, and support to agents.

• Recommend Field Onboarding Agents for contract renewal based on performance.
• Participate directly in provider acquisition and field activities.
• Ensure providers are onboarded accurately and according to SeekProv standards.
• Build relationships with service-provider groups, businesses, communities, and local partners.
• Identify new acquisition, partnership, and growth opportunities.
• Work with the Brand Manager on campaigns, activations, and local growth initiatives.
• Track performance and provide clear weekly reports to management.

What We're Looking For

• At least 3 years of relevant experience in sales, business development, field sales, or team leadership.
• Strong communication, persuasion, and people-management skills.
• Comfortable leading field teams and working toward clear targets.
• Strong knowledge of Owerri and its communities.
• Organised, proactive, resilient and results-driven.
• Comfortable using Google Sheets, WhatsApp, web dashboards and similar digital tools.
• Strong spoken and written English; conversational Igbo is an advantage.
• Must be able to work full-time from Owerri.
• Experience managing sales representatives, field agents or community-based acquisition teams is an advantage.

How Success Will Be Measured

• Achievement of provider acquisition and growth targets.
• Field Onboarding Agent performance and improvement.
• Quality and accuracy of provider onboarding.
• Consistency of field execution.
• Partnership and acquisition results.
• Ability to maintain acquisition momentum as the temporary field team reduces.
• Quality and accuracy of performance reporting.

Why Join Us

• Shorter Fridays: Work starts at 10:00 a.m.
• 45-minute paid lunch break.
• No routine overtime.
• One paid birthday leave day each year.
• Extended Christmas and New Year break, typically from 24 December until around 3–4 January, in addition to annual leave.
