About the Company

You will not simply execute marketing initiatives—you will help determine what the company says, when it says it, where it says it, and how those efforts translate into measurable business growth.
The Opportunity
This is not a social media management role. This is not a content coordination role.
This is a DTC growth leadership position responsible for developing and executing integrated marketing strategies that drive customer acquisition, engagement, retention, and revenue. You will serve as the strategic owner of multiple customer-facing marketing channels and become the primary driver behind campaign execution and performance optimization.

You will be expected to operate with a high degree of independence and bring recommendations backed by data rather than waiting for direction.
Note on Hands-On Execution:While you will own strategy and planning, you will also be expected to execute key marketing initiatives directly. You will build email campaigns, create marketing assets, manage agency relationships, develop campaign calendars, and drive marketing performance across multiple channels. This is not a people-management role; success requires both strategic thinking and executional excellence.

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 R64,750/month, this role pays well above the average South African remote salary. The USD equivalent ($3,500/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.
