* Scheduling and coordination
* Supporting promotional content and episode marketing
* Support the planning and execution of paid advertising campaigns (LinkedIn Ads, Meta Ads)
* Monitor performance, engagement, and brand growth, continuously refining the approach
Qualifications
* Minimum 3–5 years’ experience in a marketing role (experience managing marketing end to end is essential)

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.
