Job Description
🚀 About Nivoda
Nivoda is a fast-growing B2B marketplace that is transforming the global diamond and gemstone industry. We connect buyers and sellers across the world, processing $300M+ in annual transactions and unlocking a $350B industry opportunity. We move fast, think big, and care deeply about the businesses and people we serve.
🌍 Our Mission
The diamond trading industry has historically been fragmented, opaque, and inaccessible. Nivoda was founded to change that: to empower businesses of all sizes and locations to participate in a fair, efficient global marketplace. Every line of code, every integration, every automation we build brings us closer to that mission.
About the Role
We are looking for a Growth and Demand Gen Lead to own how Nivoda finds and wins new jewellers. This is a hands-on role for someone who lives in the channels and the numbers. You will run our paid, SEO, and account-based programs yourself, and you will be the person who works out which repeatable, scalable channels actually drive qualified leads, then builds them into an engine.
We do demand gen a particular way. Rather than pushing people to a product page and hoping, we lead with genuine value: free tools, content, and resources that help jewellers run better businesses, and we let that earn the relationship. Your job is to build the acquisition machine around that model and prove, channel by channel, what works.
You will start as an individual contributor with real ownership of the function, working alongside our paid, lifecycle, and GTM engineering talent. As the channels prove out and the work grows, there is a clear path to build and lead a team beneath you.
What would you be doing?
* Own net-new customer acquisition: set the demand-gen strategy, then go and execute it yourself, hands-on, across paid and beyond.

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.
