Solvi Digital
Hirezar Summary for South African Applicants
This fully remote contract position at Solvi Digital explicitly welcomes applicants based in South Africa. The estimated monthly salary is R33,300 – R42,550 ZAR. This role is suited for senior-level professionals. 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
Solvi Digitalis a UK-based B2B digital marketing agency specialising in the industrial and manufacturing sectors. We help niche businesses generate consistent, high-quality leads through paid media and targeted outreach.
We're growing and looking for a senior, self-sufficient specialist based in South Africa to own both our Google Ads and Meta Ads operations across a portfolio of UK clients. This is a role for someone who brings genuine strategic thinking, not just execution - someone who can pick up a complex B2B brief quickly and get to work.
Tasks
Paid Media
* Plan, build, and manage B2B lead generation campaigns across Google Ads, Meta, and LinkedIn for a portfolio of UK industrial and manufacturing clients
* Own full campaign strategy — keyword research, audience targeting, ad copy, bid management, and ongoing optimisation
* Build Meta funnels including Instant Form campaigns specifically optimised for lead quality over volume
* Advise clients and internal team on the best campaign approach for any given budget — consulting, not just executing
* Work closely with our in-house design team to brief landing page positioning and offer structure; you don't build pages but you know what good looks like
* Set up automated lead notification workflows via Zapier or Make from form submissions to client
* Produce clear, insight-led reports using Claude and other tools - data translated into strategy, not just numbers on a page
* Manage a small number of LinkedIn Ads accounts alongside Meta
* Monitor campaigns daily, identify problems fast, and act without being prompted
Requirements
Requirements
* 5+ years of hands-on paid media management experience — Google Ads is essential; Meta Ads and LinkedIn Ads required
* Proven track record running B2B lead generation campaigns, specifically for the UK market
* Some e-commerce campaign experience is a bonus, but B2B lead gen is the 90% focus
* Solid cold email experience including full infrastructure setup and management — domain health, mailbox warm-up, deliverability monitoring
* Hands-on experience using Instantly as an outreach platform (or comparable and willing to adapt fast)
* Ability to independently develop cold email strategy: value propositions, offer angles, personalisation at scale, and list segmentation
* Strong cold email copywriting skills — persuasive, relevant, tailored to niche audiences
* Comfortable working with complex industrial and manufacturing clients; you pick up sector context quickly and don't need briefing on every concept
* Experience building automated lead notification workflows using Zapier or Make
* Confident using Claude or equivalent AI tools for reporting, analysis, and output
* Excellent reporting skills — you tell a clear story with data and make strategic recommendations
* Consultant mindset — you advise on the best approach given the brief and budget, not just execute instructions
* Strong communicator, highly self-managed, and reliable in a remote setup
* Based in South Africa
Benefits
Benefits
* Fully remote role working with a specialist UK B2B agency
* Direct access to the senior team - no management layers or bureaucracy
* Varied client portfolio across industrial, manufacturing, and commercial sectors
* Consistent, long-term engagement with room to grow as the agency grows
* Flexible working with UK time zone alignment where needed
If you're a senior specialist who can genuinely own paid media without hand-holding, we'd like to hear from you. Apply with a short note on your background, the platforms you use day-to-day, and a couple of examples of B2B campaigns you've run and what they delivered. We move quickly with the right candidate.

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
At R33,300/month, this role is competitive with the average South African remote salary. The USD equivalent ($1,800/mo) benefits from the favourable exchange rate.
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.
