Join Weavr – Shape the Future of School Communications
We’re Weavr, a fast-growing EdTech startup on a mission to replace chaotic WhatsApp groups, clunky portals, and paper-heavy processes with South Africa’s smartest school communication platform. Launched in 2022, we’re now seeking our first permanent employee—a hunter-minded Sales Consultant—to drive adoption of our revolutionary platform in schools nationwide.
This isn’t just a sales role. It’s a career-defining opportunity for a tenacious self-starter who wants to build something transformative from the ground up. If you’re driven by challenge, thrive in unstructured environments, and love persuading skeptics to embrace change, we want you.
✨ Why Weavr?
✅ Revolutionary Product: Schools love us—teachers save 5+ hours/week, parents stay engaged, and admins gain control.
✅ First Employee: Shape your role, define processes, and grow with us.
✅ Impact: Replace outdated systems with a platform designed for SA’s unique needs.
The Role
As our founding Sales Consultant, you’ll:
✔ Open doors—cold-call, email, and hustle to secure meetings with principals and governing bodies.
✔ Challenge the status quo—persuade traditional schools to ditch WhatsApp and other solutions for a smarter solution.
✔ Own the sales cycle—prospect, pitch, negotiate, and close deals (no hand-holding).
✔ Build relationships—become the trusted advisor for schools navigating digital transformation.
✔ Crush targets—exceed quotas and fuel Weavr’s growth.

✔ Personality:
Hunter mentality: You thrive on rejection and love the chase.
Start-up DNA: Comfortable with chaos, ambiguity, and rapid change.
High EQ: Relate to teachers, parents, and admins effortlessly.
