Strategy & Growth Lead - Global Healthtech

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 Berlin and now active in more than eight countries across Europe, North America, and Asia.

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. Since launching in South Africa, the team has grown rapidly to 40 employees and now plans to double the business within the next two years, cementing its position as the country’s most innovative hearing-care provider.

The Role: Scaling & Strategy Lead

This newly created leadership position sits directly next to the Country Head as her strategic partner for South Africa. You’ll act as both strategist and operator - designing and executing initiatives that scale the business across operations, sales, partnerships, and customer experience.

It’s a high-ownership role for someone who thrives in analytical, but sales-drien and fast-moving environments and wants to see their work translate into tangible growth.

What You’ll Do

• Partner closely with the Country Head to shape sales, marketing and partner strategy and drive execution.

• Build a deep understanding of the business to identify bottlenecks and unlock new growth levers.

• Lead cross-functional projects that improve efficiency and scalability of sales, marketing, and operations.

• 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).
