Where to find and apply safely

This vacancy is listed on Careers24, and the Apply button on this page takes you directly to the original Araxi Group advert. Apply only through that original advert, and never pay anyone to apply for a job.

Practical tips

Lead with your commercial management track record: pricing models you have built, deals you have negotiated, and renewals or margin improvements you have delivered. Because the role spans sales, finance, legal and operations, give concrete examples of working across teams, and mention your CRM and business intelligence tools by name. Check that your CV clearly shows five or more years in a commercial, account, deal or contract management role in a technology or managed services setting.

How the process works

Shortlisted candidates can expect commercial and stakeholder discussions around their pricing, contract and revenue experience.
