Job Description

 E-Commerce Specialist

We are seeking a commercially astute E-Commerce Specialist to take ownership of an allocated E-commerce merchant portfolio and drive measurable revenue performance.

The Opportunity

This is not traditional account management. This role carries full commercial accountability for a defined revenue base.

As E-Commerce Specialist, you will:

  • Grow revenue through structured cross-sell and upsell initiatives
  • Increase product penetration across the merchant base
  • Reduce churn through proactive, data-led engagement
  • Strengthen long-term merchant relationships

You will act as a trusted advisor, ensuring merchants extract full value from Lesaka’s ecosystem while protecting and expanding recurring revenue.

Key Responsibilities

Revenue Growth & Expansion

  • Analyse merchant performance and product usage to identify revenue opportunities
  • Execute targeted outbound campaigns (calls, WhatsApp, email)
  • Position bundled and tiered solutions using consultative selling techniques
  • Build and manage a disciplined opportunity pipeline in CRM
  • Deliver consistent net base revenue growth

Retention & Churn Management

  • Monitor transaction trends to identify early churn risk
  • Implement structured retention and reactivation strategies
  • Partner with Support and Operations to resolve performance-impacting issues
  • Protect recurring revenue through proactive intervention

Relationship Ownership

  • Serve as the primary commercial contact for assigned merchants
  • Conduct structured lifecycle engagements (activation, growth, renewal)
  • Facilitate product education and value-optimisation discussions
  • Provide market and customer insights to internal stakeholders

Governance & Insights

  • Maintain accurate CRM records and reporting discipline
  • Deliver performance insights on revenue trends and risk indicators
  • Contribute intelligence on competitor activity and market shifts

 What Success Looks Like

  • Sustainable net base revenue growth
  • Reduced churn rates
  • Increased multi-product adoption
  • High merchant satisfaction

What You Bring

  • 3–5 years’ experience in Account Management, Customer Success, or Relationship Management
  • Proven success in revenue growth, retention, and cross-selling
  • Experience within fintech, financial services, E-commerce, or merchant acquiring preferred
  • Strong analytical capability and CRM proficiency (Dynamics or Salesforce advantageous)
  • Commercial acumen with a consultative sales approach
  • Matric required; tertiary qualification advantageous
  • Willingness to travel occasionally for merchant engagement

 Why Join Lesaka?

At Lesaka Technologies, we value ownership, integrity, collaboration, and decisive execution. We operate with an entrepreneurial mindset and a clear focus on measurable commercial impact.

If you are driven by revenue accountability, data-led decision-making, and building high-value merchant relationships this is your opportunity to make a tangible impact.
