Work-Force
Whether you are a seasoned Marketing Assistant or stepping into the role for the first time, there is space for you in Brits. The team hires on merit and across communities in North West.
About the Opportunity
The Marketing Assistant position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across North West. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Brits and across the marketing jobs space.
In addition, the role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Brits operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.
Notably, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Brits also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the marketing jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Brits much easier.
Working in Brits
Beyond that, the role is based in Brits, within the Klerksdorp gold and farming belt. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Brits and the broader North West region.
Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Brits.
Many candidates already living within reach of Brits cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local North West economy.
If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Brits, North West.
Your Team
Notably, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Brits office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when North West 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.
On top of that, the team mix in Brits reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.
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.
Your Future Here
This role can grow with you. Strong performers in the marketing jobs team in Brits have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.
Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Brits have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across North West.
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 Brits team member.
The Environment
Equally, the environment is creative, deadline-driven and data-aware. Cross-functional work with sales, product and design is the norm, and ideas are tested with real audiences quickly.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Brits site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
On top of that, the working environment is set up to give the team the focus needed for deeper work, while keeping collaboration and quick problem-solving close at hand.
A respectful, professional environment is the standard in North West. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
