Business growth coach opportunity in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape.
Raizcorp is looking for a seasoned, well-rounded business professional with superior commercial acumen to join as a business coach. Your day-to-day will be coaching a portfolio of entrepreneurs across all spheres of their business: strategy, sales, marketing, finance, and the entrepreneurs’ personal development journey. This is a full-time, salaried coaching role, not a consulting contract.
You won’t do the work for them; you’ll equip them to do it themselves through a structured methodology and ongoing guidance. You don’t need prior coaching experience – Raizcorp will invest in equipping you with this competence. We need your strong business acumen, an empathetic approach to entrepreneurs, and a genuine desire to create impact.
What you’ll do Hold one-on-one coaching sessions, run business simulations, and facilitate group learning (following a proven programme that transfers skill, builds capability, and improves business results). Manage a defined portfolio of entrepreneurs, tracking impact on revenue, profitability, and founder growth over time. Orchestrate inputs across disciplines (strategy, sales, marketing, finance, people) so entrepreneurs make integrated, forward-looking decisions.
Stay sharp on economic shifts and relevant regulations that affect entrepreneurs, and surface implications in coaching conversations. Work collaboratively with other coaches in both team structures and one-on-one scenarios. Who you are A business all-rounder with 10 to 15+ years’ experience across corporate and entrepreneurial settings.
You must have your own businesses at some point (this is non-negotiable). Commercially fluent across strategy, sales, marketing, and finance, able to connect the dots and coach trade-offs. You need to bring real experiential depth and gravitas in business finance, strategy, and sales.
High emotional intelligence with genuine empathy for the highs and lows of the entrepreneurial journey; mature, accountable, and non-judgemental. A crisp communicator who is organised, systematic, proactive, and deadline reliable. Competent and experienced with technology and systems (Microsoft 365/Office and learner management systems).
Qualifications
A commerce-related tertiary qualification (MBA or master’s-level qualification an advantage). Driver’s licence and own car essential. What you’ll get The leverage to change real businesses at scale with measurable bottom-line impact.
Formal training in an internationally recognised coaching methodology and continuous professional development. A fiercely caring team culture that backs the jockey (the entrepreneur), not just the horse. A rare opportunity to work with entrepreneurs and their businesses every day.
Important to know This is a coaching role, not consulting. We don’t write our entrepreneurs’ plans or do their work. Instead, we build their capability and hold them accountable through a structured programme.
Remuneration is aligned to the professional coaching market, reflecting the full-time, portfolio-based nature of the work.
