About the Company

Project Y is proud to be recruiting on behalf of one of the
world's fastest-growing hearing-care companies
, originally founded in

eight countries

Their digital-first model has transformed the way hearing care is delivered - combining technology, tele-audiology, and personal service to help people
hear well and live well

  • Develop partnerships with financing and insurance providers and strengthen B2B collaborations.
  • Expand and professionalize the customer advisory team (call-center operations).
  • Work with data to generate insights, forecasts, and dashboards for leadership.
  • Collaborate with international peers (Germany, France, US, India) to adapt global best practices locally.
  • Champion digital tools, automation, and AI-driven initiatives that enhance performance.
  • Foster a culture of ownership, curiosity, and high performance within the South African team.

What's in It for You

  • A
    leadership-track role
    with direct exposure to executive decision-making.
  • Opportunity to shape the growth trajectory of South Africa's leading digital hearing-care provider.
  • Collaboration with top international peers and access to cutting-edge global initiatives.
  • A purpose-driven culture that combines tech, healthcare, and human impact.
  • Attractive Compensation:
    up to ZAR 1.8 million per year (depending on experience).

What We're Looking For

Mindset & Personality

  • Entrepreneurial and impact-driven - motivated by scaling and building.
  • Confident and constructive in challenging the status quo and leading through influence.
  • Analytical, structured, and outcome-oriented.
  • Hands-on "doer" who thrives in execution and problem-solving.
  • Adaptable and calm in fast-changing, high-growth settings.
  • Collaborative - enjoys working across functions and cultures.

Skills & Experience

  • 5-10 years in
    management consulting
    , business development, strategy, or operations.
  • Strong analytical skills: advanced Excel / BI proficiency, forecasting, and business modeling.
  • Proven track record of leading cross-functional initiatives to measurable results.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities.
  • Experience in or exposure to South African Medical Aid ecosyste
    m
