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 Product Marketing Lead to own how Nivoda explains itself: the positioning, the messaging, and the story that makes independent jewellers understand why we are worth switching to. This is the foundation the rest of marketing is built on, from paid campaigns to sales conversations. You will define who we are for, what we say, and why it lands, and then arm the whole go-to-market team to say it consistently.
This is a hands-on role. You will own positioning and messaging, lead the go-to-market for new product launches, sharpen our competitive edge, and build the sales enablement that turns interest into customers.
You will start as a senior individual contributor with real ownership of product marketing end to end. As the company grows there is room to build a function beneath you, but this is a role for a builder who wants to do the work, not just direct it.
What would you be doing?
* Own Nivoda’s positioning and messaging: define who we are for, the problems we solve, and the words we use, and keep them sharp as the business evolves.

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.
