Job Description

Are you a digital native who knows how to turn clicks into customers?
We have an exciting, fully on-site opportunity for an agile and hands-on Mid-Weight Social Media & Digital Marketing Manager at a renowned decor and homeware company based in Cape Town's Northern Suburbs.
We're looking for a skilled Social Media & Digital Marketing Manager to lead the company brand's social presence and manage performance-driven digital campaigns.
This fabulous company has an impressive heritage and is a leading supplier of high-quality homeware for both the local and international markets. They have a nationwide presence and are expanding.
This is a hands-on, fast-paced role for a driven digital all-rounder who's as comfortable building out content plans and reporting on analytics as they are managing agencies and working with big ad budgets.
You'll take the reins on all social media platforms, (developing content strategies, creating schedules, and reporting on performance) while project managing the brand's paid digital campaigns in close collaboration with an external agency.
Ideally, you'll bring some hands-on paid media experience to the table, along with great communication skills and a solid grasp of platforms like Meta and Asana.
You'll form part of the internal Marketing team, work alongside content creators and creatives, and bring energy, flexibility, and sharp attention to detail to everything you do. This role requires someone with experience working on premium or design-led products, and a portfolio of previous work is essential.
Sound like you? Apply today and help bring a beautiful brand to life online.
