Sport, movement, and performance products touch millions of lives every day, from the socks that keep a runner blister-free to the recovery tools that get an athlete back on the field. As a global player in the fitness, outdoor, and sporting goods space, their brands sit on shelves in thousands of stores and reach customers in over 70 countries. They're looking for a driven, people-first Regional Account Manager to continue growing their footprint across the Western Cape.
This isn't a desk job pushing paperwork. You'll be the face of some of the most trusted names in sport and performance gear, building real relationships with retailers and buyers, spotting opportunities before your competitors do, and shaping how their products show up on shelf. You'll have the autonomy to run your patch like it's your own business, backed by a global brand family and a team that has your back.
