The coach will manage a portfolio of entrepreneurs, guiding them across all aspects of their business, including strategy, sales, marketing, finance, and personal development.

Ideal candidates will possess superior commercial acumen, being commercially fluent across strategy, sales, marketing, and finance, and must bring real experiential depth in business finance, strategy, and sales. High emotional intelligence, genuine empathy for entrepreneurs, maturity, accountability, and a non-judgemental approach are key. Applicants should be crisp communicators, organised, systematic, proactive, and deadline reliable, with competence in Microsoft 365/Office and learner management systems. A commerce-related tertiary qualification is expected, with an MBA or master’s-level qualification being advantageous. A driver’s licence and own car are essential. While prior coaching experience is not required, a strong business acumen, an empathetic approach to entrepreneurs, and a genuine desire to create impact are necessary. The role is for those seeking a full-time, salaried coaching position focused on building entrepreneurial capability through a structured programme. **Deadline** Not specified **Reference** Original posting: https://www.jobmail.co.za/jobs/professions/other-professions/eastern-cape/business-growth-coach-id-7598340 Source: jobmail
