Business growth coach
Professions - Other Professions Eastern Cape FULL TIME Job Summary Raizcorp is looking for a seasoned, well-rounded business professional with superior commercial acumen to join as a business coach. Your day-to-day will be coaching a portfolio of entrepreneurs across all spheres of their business: strategy, sales, marketing, finance, and the entrepreneurs’ personal development journey. This is a full-time, salaried coaching role, not a consulting contract. You won’t do the work for them; you’ll equip them to do it themselves through a structured methodology and ongoing guidance. You don’t need prior coaching experience - Raizcorp will invest in equipping you with this competence. We need your strong business acumen, an empathetic approach to entrepreneurs, and a genuine desire to create impact. What you’ll do * Hold one-on-one coaching sessions, run business simulations, and facilitate group learning (following a proven programme that transfers skill, builds capability, and improves business results). * Manage a defined portfolio of entrepreneurs, tracking impact on revenue, profitability, and founder growth over time. * Orchestrate inputs across disciplines (strategy, sales, marketing, finance, people) so entrepreneurs make integrated, forward-looking decisions. * Stay sharp on economic shifts and relevant regulations that affect entrepreneurs, and surface implications in coaching conversations. * Work collaboratively with other coaches in both team structures and one-on-one scenarios. Who you are * A business all-rounder with 10 to 15+ years’ experience across corporate and entrepreneurial settings. You must have your own businesses at some point (this is non-negotiable). * Commercially fluent across strategy, sales, marketing, and finance, able to connect the dots and coach trade-offs. You need to bring real experiential depth and gravitas in business finance, strategy, and sales. * High emotional intelligence with genuine empathy for the highs and lows of the entrepreneurial journey; mature, accountable, and non-judgemental. * A crisp communicator who is organised, systematic, proactive, and deadline reliable. * Competent and experienced with technology and systems (Microsoft 365/Office and learner management systems). * Qualifications: A commerce-related tertiary qualification (MBA or master’s-level qualification an advantage). * Driver’s licence and own car essential. What you’ll get…
Eastern Cape is an important market for jobs and professional roles in South Africa. The Eastern Cape includes Gqeberha automotive suppliers, Mthatha public-sector posts, and rural education and health vacancies. Some roles are only viable if you can relocate or have reliable transport. Automotive components, education, healthcare, and agriculture drive much of the hiring. Graduate programmes with national employers sometimes recruit from Nelson Mandela Bay. Long distances between towns mean remote or hybrid roles are attractive when available. If a role is on-site, explain how you will handle daily travel or relocation.
