About the CompanyBased in Florida, our client is a premier entertainment agency and full-service production company specializing in luxury weddings, high-profile corporate activations, and high-volume private events. Operating as a hybrid talent agency and production house, they staff high-end DJs and live musicians while managing full sound, lighting, and stage production.

Their business model combines flagship, mega-luxury portfolio weddings with high-volume mid-tier event packages scaled across multiple events per weekend. To unblock sales leadership and accelerate deal velocity, they are adding a dedicated Sales Operations & Proposal Specialist to own their digital proposal pipeline.

Tips for South African Applicants

Timezone Advantage

South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.

Salary in Context

At R33,300/month, this role is competitive with the average South African remote salary. The USD equivalent ($1,800/mo) benefits from the favourable exchange rate.

Application Tips

Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.

Load Shedding Preparedness

If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
