Field Sales Manager - Mukono
We are looking for a Field Sales Manager to lead the recruitment and management of Direct Sales Representatives (DSRs), drive sales quota attainment, and expand sales channels across an assigned geographical location in Uganda.
This role offers the opportunity to own your territory—building a high-performing field sales team that delivers results, upholds brand values, and drives financial inclusion across Uganda. You’ll recruit, coach, and develop DSRs, execute end-to-end sales programs, manage inventory, and grow local networks that expand M-KOPA’s market presence.
