AZURE ZANZIBAR is hiring TWO exceptional Senior Sales Operations & Lead Qualifiers to become the first commercial point of contact for international property buyers and support a high-performing remote closing team. This is a serious, hands-on commercial role. We are not looking for a generic virtual assistant, passive inbox manager or someone who simply forwards messages. We need warm, commercially intelligent and highly organised professionals who protect every lead, qualify buyers properly and create a complete, fast handover to senior closers. ABOUT AZURE Azure is a premium real estate and hospitality developer in Zanzibar. • Azure Michamvi: 93 premium villas from USD 320,000. • Azure Paje: 226 furnished apartments; studios from USD 90,950, including VAT. Websites: [login to view URL] | [login to view URL] | [login to view URL] MISSION No serious buyer should be lost because of late response, weak qualification, poor CRM discipline or an incomplete closer handover. Together, the two hires must provide reliable, scheduled coverage across at least 16–18 hours per day, Monday–Sunday, with rotational weekend shifts. CORE RESPONSIBILITIES • Monitor and respond intelligently to allocated inbound leads across approved Azure channels. • Meet a five-minute first-response standard during your agreed shift. • Qualify naturally: buyer country, purchase purpose, preferred project, budget, timeline, decision-makers and readiness. • Position the two products correctly: Michamvi for premium villa buyers from USD 320,000; Paje for furnished, VAT-included apartment buyers from USD 90,950. • Warm qualified prospects using only approved Azure information and schedule high-quality calls with the appropriate closer. • Work daily in Pipedrive, [login to view URL] and CloudTalk. Every material interaction must be logged in Pipedrive within 30 minutes, with source, clear notes, stage, owner, dated next action and due date. • Maintain lead ownership, flag duplicates, chase overdue tasks, escalate at-risk leads and coordinate calendars, approved materials, proposals, reservations and administration. • Produce a concise end-of-shift report: new leads, response-time compliance, qualified leads, calls booked, overdue tasks, leads without next actions and blockers. REQUIRED PROFILE • 3+ years proven Sales Operations, SDR/BDR, high-ticket lead qualification, appointment setting or premium client-support experience. • Daily CRM use: Pipedrive, HubSpot or Salesforce; disciplined notes and follow-ups are mandatory. • Excellent spoken and written English: warm, clear, credible and commercially intelligent. • International/high-consideration experience strongly preferred: real estate, property investment, hospitality, financial services, luxury travel or comparable. • High personal ownership, excellent organisation and comfort with response-time and CRM KPIs. NON-NEGOTIABLES • No personal WhatsApp, private email or private database for Azure leads. • No unapproved promises on pricing, availability, discounts, returns, legal, tax or financing matters. • Every live lead must have a named owner and a dated next action. • Use only Azure-approved scripts, materials and systems. COMPENSATION Long-term remote role with fixed monthly salary plus a performance-based percentage on eligible closed sales directly supported. The financial model and terms will be discussed separately with shortlisted candidates. TO APPLY Send: (1) a maximum two-minute video introduction; (2) one concrete example of moving an inbound high-ticket lead from first message to booked sales call; (3) CRM, messaging and calling platforms used daily; (4) time zone, weekly availability and languages; (5) average inbound first-response time in your latest relevant role. Shortlisted candidates will complete a live qualification role-play and CRM follow-up test. Please apply only if you can meet the five-minute response standard during scheduled hours and the 30-minute CRM logging standard.

I know the importance of maintaining lead ownership and timely follow-ups. I will keep everything clear and simple, ensuring you have full visibility on lead status and next actions.

When a buyer is considering a $90K+ apartment or a $320K+ villa, the first five minutes can’t be treated like ordinary inbox support—the real value is **turning that initial enquiry into a properly qualified, sales-ready opportunity before momentum disappears**. Your setup makes that process very clear: respond quickly, qualify without making the conversation feel like an interrogation, identify whether Paje or Michamvi fits the buyer, and give the closer a complete handover with every important detail already documented in Pipedrive. I’m particularly comfortable with the discipline your workflow requires: structured CRM notes, clear ownership, dated next actions, timely follow-ups, and concise shift reporting. I’d also keep communication strictly within Azure-approved channels and information rather than making promises outside the defined process. I can provide the requested video introduction and a concrete example of handling an inbound lead from first contact through booked sales call. For the role-play, will the qualification scenario focus more on a Paje apartment buyer or a Michamvi villa buyer?..

Hi there, Lead handling delays and weak qualification are the core blockers here. The root cause is inconsistent 5-minute first-response and fragmented CRM handoffs, which let buyers slip away before a closer joins. Solution: implement a tight playbook with a 5-minute first contact window, CRM discipline (Pipedrive, logging source, next action, and due date within 30 minutes), and a clean handover to senior closers with complete context. Experience: in a similar luxury real estate project, I cut response time from 22 minutes to 4 minutes and boosted qualified leads by 28%, driving more booked calls. Smart improvement: set up SLA dashboards and daily quality checks to sustain momentum and prevent duplicates. Thank you, - Bohdan

Could you please clarify: - What specific CRM platforms does Azure Zanzibar currently use? - Are there any specific training materials or scripts provided to ensure consistent messaging? - How do you envision the onboarding process for the new hires? Looking forward to discussing how I can contribute to Azure Zanzibar's sales success.
