About the Company
We are a rapidly growing U.S.-based wellness company operating in the IV hydration and health optimization space. Through a growing footprint of locations, we deliver IV therapy, vitamin injections, weight loss support, peptides, and hormone and wellness services, all designed to help clients feel and perform at their best.
We are in an active growth phase and investing in building our marketing capability in-house. Our brand lives heavily on social media, where trust and education drive new clients through the door. This is a client-facing, reputation-driven business, and marketing plays a direct role in how new clients find us and decide to book.
About the Role
Today, our marketing is run through multiple fractional vendors: one agency handling Google Ads and some organic posting, another managing our Meta advertising. That model has kept us moving, but it comes with real limits. No single vendor knows our business deeply, output is inconsistent, and coordinating across outside partners slows us down and adds cost.
We are hiring a Digital Marketing Specialist to bring this work in-house. This person will become the dedicated marketing owner who learns our brand, our services, and our clients, then executes consistently day to day. The immediate focus is execution: creating and scheduling content, keeping our social channels active, and supporting our paid media. Over time, as this person earns context on what works, the role can grow into greater ownership of strategy.
Because we operate in the wellness and health space, this role also carries a trust-building dimension. We want someone comfortable engaging with prospects directly through social channels, responding to messages, and representing the brand warmly and credibly to people deciding whether to walk through our doors.

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.
