About This Role
This is a field-heavy sales leadership position based in Jimma, responsible for driving Transsion’s brand performance across the entire west branch territory. You will spend most of your time working directly with agents, sub-dealers, and retailers—not behind a desk—coordinating promotions, gathering market intelligence, and troubleshooting partner issues. It suits a sales professional who thrives on relationship-building and on-the-ground execution rather than high-level strategy. Transsion, the parent company behind Tecno, Infinix, and itel, is a dominant force in Ethiopian mobile phone distribution, so this role places you at the center of a fast-moving consumer electronics channel.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The 3–5 years of experience expected here signals a need for someone who has already navigated the realities of Ethiopian distribution networks—not just made sales calls, but managed dealer networks and resolved channel conflicts. The emphasis on data collection and competitor pricing suggests the employer values analytical instincts alongside people skills; you are expected to spot trends in the field and feed that back into business decisions. A mid-level title means they want someone who can operate independently in Jimma, with minimal supervision, while still coordinating with the head office in Addis.
How to Approach This Application
When applying, lead with concrete examples of how you have previously grown sales in a defined territory—quantify your achievements, such as percentage increases in dealer sell-through or the number of new retail outlets you opened. Demonstrating familiarity with the mobile phone market, particularly the dynamics of Tecno, Infinix, and itel versus competitors like Samsung, will set you apart. Since the role involves constant travel within the west branch area, be explicit about your willingness to work in Jimma and move between towns, and highlight any experience you have managing relationships across different levels of the distribution chain.
Who This Role Suits
This role is ideal for a mid-career sales professional who enjoys autonomy, is comfortable with frequent travel, and takes genuine satisfaction in coaching smaller retailers to hit their targets. Competition is likely moderate to strong, as Transsion is a desirable employer, but your practical field experience and readiness to relocate will give you a decisive edge.
