The Fit You & Spartan
Spartan SME Finance focuses exclusively on established SMEs - we are changing South Africa one SME at a time and need people who believe that inclusive growth can happen through helping SMEs grow. If you are looking to help us grow SMEs and build our SA - then you are the right person.
Spartan opened in 1981 and provides financing that backs entrepreneurs. This is done by adopting a structured finance approach that incorporates an intimate understanding of both the jockey [entrepreneur] and their business [SME].
We value a person with truthful candid talk, creativity, curiosity, conscientiousness and an obsession towards holistic learning & growth.
This opportunity requires a like-minded individual who will be willing and able to market to our SME target market and customer base to foster good relations and to keep Spartan top of mind with respect to financing and thought leadership on SME finance.
The individual will report directly to the executive in charge of this portfolio and will work closely with our credit, portfolios and IT teams.
Spartan marketing ethos
Spartan marketing efforts are based on strategy, research, deliberate targeting, constant refinement and no hard sales. This means that the marketing department requires an individual who is thoughtful and techno savvy [as Spartan uses numerous marketing platforms and marketing software tools].
