Job Description

Do you have a way with words that makes people stop scrolling? Are you the kind of person who sees a trend before it peaks and knows exactly how to spin it for a brand? If you're ready to flex your creativity, take ownership of briefs, and bring fresh energy to one of South Africa's biggest Telco brands, we want you on our team.

What You'll Do:

Write with Impact: Create engaging, platform-first copy across posts, stories, reels, and TikToks that connect with our audiences in bold and relevant ways. Own Creative Execution: Take briefs and turn them into social content ideas that feel current, exciting, and on-brand. Collaborate with Creatives: Work closely with designers, strategists, and community managers to deliver content that sings visually and verbally. Spot & Spin Trends: Stay on top of cultural moments, local memes, and digital behaviours, and help the brand tap into them authentically. Engage in Social Listening: Monitor conversations and spot opportunities for reactive content or clever community engagement. Support Campaigns: Contribute copy and ideas for social-first campaigns, activations, and integrated Telco brand moments. Balance the Details: Ensure accuracy in spelling, grammar, tone, and local vernacular, with an eye for quality and detail. Get Stuck In: Be hands-on with reactive posts, scrappy content shoots, and real-time publishing when needed.

What You Bring:

2-4 years of experience in social media copywriting, content creation, or a related creative field. A strong portfolio of social-first work that shows your ability to write across formats and platforms. A natural understanding of what makes content engaging online - whether it's humour, timing, or cultural relevance. The ability to adapt your tone of voice depending on the platform and audience. A love for digital culture, memes, and trends, especially those unique to South Africa. A proactive, problem-solving mindset, you're comfortable jumping in and making things happen. Good organisational and time management skills to balance multiple briefs and deadlines. Bonus: Ability to write in isiXhosa, isiZulu, or other South African languages for added authenticity.

Why Join Us?

You'll be at the heart of a team that treats social as culture-in-motion, working on a Telco brand that lives where the conversations are. This is your chance to create content that gets seen, shared, and talked about--while sharpening your skills and growing toward senior level.

If you're a curious, culturally tuned-in copywriter who loves turning insights into ideas, we'd love to meet you.
