About the role
The Phone Business Manager - Retail owns the performance of Sun King's Retail PayGo Phone business at regional level.
The role manages the network of Sun King Shops and qualified Partner Stores across the region and supervises the PSEs (Phone Sales executive) staffing them; driving store productivity, sales quality, repayment performance, and merchandising standards.
It is the execution layer of the retail channel: converting onboarded outlets into consistently productive, portfolio-healthy selling points, and making the interface with the region's agent-channel management work without duplication or conflict.

Sales Quality & Collections - own origination quality at store level: customer screening, documentation, approved financing terms; monitor FPD and store-level PAR30 daily; execute follow-up procedures on arrears with the call centre and field ; escalate outlet-level risk patterns (mis-selling, cluster delinquency, fraud indicators) to the Phone Business Manager – Retail with evidence.
Inventory & Merchandising - manage stock across stores: requisition, secure custody, reconciliation, and inter-store balancing, with replenishment gated on store portfolio quality; enforce brand merchandising, POS display, pricing, and contractual compliance in every outlet; zero tolerance on stock variance.
Partner Relationships & Reporting — maintain strong working relationships with partner store owners, resolving operational issues before they become commercial ones; coordinate with regional agent-channel management so retail and agent activity complement rather than cannibalise; submit accurate weekly reports on deadline; feed field intelligence; rival retail financing plays, pricing pressure, customer objections; up the channel.
