🇿🇦 Hirezar Summary for South African Applicants

This fully remote full time position at Activate Talent is open to applicants from South Africa. As a remote position, you can work from anywhere in South Africa — whether you're based in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, or a smaller town.

Job Description

We are a modern men's skincare brand rooted in ancient wisdom-focused on simple, 100% natural ingredients with zero shortcuts. Our mission is to build the #1 personal care brand for health-conscious, high-performing men who value discipline and results.

Co-founded by Sahil Bloom, we are an early-stage company with high velocity, high standards, and a bias toward execution.

This is not a traditional marketing role. This is a hands-on growth operator position.

As the second full-time hire, you will own growth end-to-end-working directly with the CEO and collaborating closely with the founding team. You will build, test, execute, and scale everything from scratch.

If you need structure, this role is not for you. If you build systems through action and iteration, you will thrive here.
* Launch campaigns rapidly across channels; iterate based on performance
* Test creative angles, messaging, and offers continuously
* Kill underperforming initiatives quickly and scale winners
* Build and scale an organic seeding program (identify, outreach, send product, track ROI)
* Develop and manage creator relationships across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and Pinterest
* Actively participate in content creation-not just strategy
* Launch and grow a creator community ecosystem
* Own affiliate strategy (ShopMy or similar platforms)
* Manage organic + paid creator partnerships
* Analyze performance across all channels (ads, organic, email, landing pages)
* Optimize for conversion and revenue, not vanity metrics
* Identify trends, patterns, and opportunities through data
* Build growth infrastructure (campaigns, launches, playbooks)
* Operate lean with limited resources while outperforming competitors
* Leverage AI tools to increase output and efficiency
* Proven experience in growth marketing, creator marketing, or community-led growth
* Deep understanding of the creator economy (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube)
* Strong execution mindset-you ship fast and learn faster
* Data-driven with experience analyzing performance metrics and ROI
* Hands-on experience using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, MidJourney, or similar (non-negotiable)
* Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous, early-stage environment
* Ownership mentality-you operate like a founder
* Experience with ShopMy, Shopify, Meta Ads Manager, Klaviyo
* Background in eCommerce or DTC brands
* Experience with offline activations, wholesale, or distribution

Tips for South African Applicants

⏰

Timezone Advantage

South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.

💰

Salary in Context

Even without a listed salary, international remote roles typically pay 2-3x more than equivalent local positions in South Africa due to the exchange rate advantage.

📋

Application Tips

Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.

🔌

Load Shedding Preparedness

If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
