Business Development Executive – Africa

GeoPoll is a leading research organization that uses mobile phones to gather direct, real-time insights from millions of people throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America. We are looking for a driven, self-led Business Development Executive to grow our commercial research revenue across Africa.

Role Overview

The Business Development Executive is a driven, self-led business development professional focused on growing GeoPoll’s commercial research revenue across Africa. Working closely with the VP, Client Development – Africa and the Research and Technical teams, this person identifies and pursues new business, supports proposal development, manages a growing portfolio of accounts, and applies AI tools across the sales workflow to strengthen revenue and retention.

Expert Application Advice

When applying to GeoPoll, highlight how your sales experience meets their Salesforce directly. Tailor your CV with one concrete example—like exceeding targets or managing key accounts—to show you’re ready from day one. This small effort proves your commitment.

Positioning — Your cover letter must answer one question: why YOU for THIS specific role right NOW? Avoid generic templates — one sentence on what you specifically bring beats three generic paragraphs.

Prospecting and results — Your new clients acquired and conversion rate are your strongest arguments. Show your detailed knowledge of local distributors and key players.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
