Ready to empower communities? PayJoy, a fintech leader serving 10 million+ customers globally, is hiring Sales Assistants in South Africa. With a Matric certificate and ~R12,000–R18,000/month salary plus commissions, you’ll drive smartphone finance sales. Apply now to join a 4.0/5 Indeed-rated team.
Why PayJoy’s Sales Assistant Role Stands Out
Unlike typical retail jobs, PayJoy’s role immerses you in a R100 billion fintech sector, promoting affordable credit for 40% of SA’s unbanked population (payjoy.com). With 60% of sales staff advancing to team leader roles within two years (za.indeed.com), you’ll grow in a mission-driven company recognized on CB Insights’ Fintech 100 list.
What’s the Sales Assistant Role?
PayJoy, founded in 2015, uses mobile security tech to offer phone finance in emerging markets, including South Africa’s 12,000+ partner stores. As a Sales Assistant in Pretoria or other regions, you’ll engage customers, achieve sales targets, and maintain partnerships, supporting 1,000+ monthly activations in a dynamic, inclusive environment.

- Promote PayJoy’s phone finance services to customers
- Achieve monthly sales and activation goals
- Maintain relationships with retail partner stores
- Demonstrate products and explain credit terms

- Ensure compliance with PayJoy’s sales framework
Why Apply?
- Competitive Salary:
R12,000–R18,000/month, plus commissions (R2,000–R5,000) - Career Growth: Pathway to sales representative or manager roles
- Accessible Entry: Matric certificate, no experience required
- Impact: Enable 37% of SA’s first-time smartphone users

Where’s It Going?
Work in Pretoria or other SA hubs, gaining skills for fintech sales or customer success roles. With fintech growing 32% yearly (Stats SA 2024), PayJoy’s 90%+ approval rate for finance apps (payjoy.com) equips you for careers at firms like Vodacom or TFG. Its focus on women’s financial inclusion (47% female clients) adds purpose.
Does It Work?
PayJoy’s 4.0/5 Indeed rating (2025) praises commissions and learning opportunities but notes sales pressure and inconsistent management (za.indeed.com). Ideal for dynamic communicators, 75% gain sales expertise within a year (myjobmag.co.za). Unlike traditional retail, PayJoy’s tech-driven mission offers unique exposure to financial inclusion.
