Copywriter

The organisation is recruiting a Copywriter for its Worcester operation. The role forms part of a wider marketing jobs portfolio across Western Cape.

Overview

This Copywriter role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Worcester. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the marketing jobs pipeline across Western Cape.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the marketing jobs team in Western Cape make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

In addition, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Worcester also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

What Your Day Looks Like

You usually start by scanning campaign dashboards over coffee, checking performance against targets and flagging anything that needs attention. Mornings are often given to creative work — briefing designers, refining copy, planning the next content drop — while afternoons mix stakeholder meetings, agency calls and a steady stream of approvals. In between, you’re watching what competitors are doing, listening to what customers are saying online, and shaping the next set of experiments to push the brand forward.

Crucially, the Worcester office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Worcester.

Diversity and Inclusion

Practically speaking, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Worcester.

B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.
