SEO Specialist

Whether you are a seasoned SEO Specialist or stepping into the role for the first time, there is space for you in Phalaborwa. The team hires on merit and across communities in Limpopo.

Overview

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

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

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

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the SEO Specialist to step into the marketing jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.

A Typical Day

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.

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

Equally, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Limpopo operations throw up the unexpected.

On top of that, the Phalaborwa 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.

Your Team

Notably, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Phalaborwa office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Limpopo operations get busy.

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.

Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.

Beyond that, the team mix in Phalaborwa reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.

Equal Opportunity

Inclusion is a core part of how the team operates. This is an equal-opportunity employer, and candidates from all communities — including women, youth and persons living with disabilities — are encouraged to apply for this role in Phalaborwa.

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.

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

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Limpopo.

Growing With Us

Importantly, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the marketing jobs team in Phalaborwa have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.

Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.

Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Phalaborwa team member.

On top of that, internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Phalaborwa have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Limpopo.
