Senior Sales Executive — Software & AI Contracts

About Centenum

Centenum Technologies is a technology services firm with deep roots across Nigeria and Africa. We build AI-integrated web and mobile products, deliver enterprise AI solutions, and provide fractional CTO services to growth-stage companies and established enterprises. We're now looking for a sales closer who can bring in software development and AI contracts that translate directly to revenue. This is not a lead-warming role. This is a hunter role.

What You'll Do

You will own the full sales cycle from prospecting and qualifying to pitching, negotiating, and closing on software development and AI build contracts. Your single most important metric is the number of signed contracts that convert to paid revenue. You'll work directly with the founders, have full access to our technical team for scoping and proposals, and operate with the autonomy to build pipelines the way you know works.

Compensation

Base salary: ₦12M – ₦24M gross per annum

Commission: Up to 15% on closed contract value

Uncapped earning potential for the right closer

Who We're Looking For

You've sold technology services, software development, SaaS, or AI/IT solutions before, and you have the numbers to prove it. You understand how to navigate procurement, build relationships with decision-makers, and close deals that actually translate to revenue (not just signed LOIs that go nowhere). You can speak credibly about software and AI to a CTO or a CEO without needing a technical co-pilot in every meeting. You are comfortable selling into Nigerian, African, and North American markets, and you understand the difference in how each buys.
