Brand Manager

Step into a Brand Manager role in Kempton Park and make your mark across Gauteng. The team is hiring now and wants to hear from sharp, committed candidates.

What This Role Involves

This Brand Manager role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Kempton Park. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the marketing jobs pipeline across Gauteng.

The organisation keeps reporting lines clean and expectations realistic. Performance is measured against a small, agreed set of metrics, and there are no surprise yardsticks for the Brand Manager taking on this position.

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 Kempton Park much easier.

Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Kempton Park teams, and the new Brand Manager will feel that from the first week.

Our Commitment to Transformation

Beyond that, 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.

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

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 Kempton Park.

Day in the Life

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.

Equally, the Kempton Park 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 Kempton Park.

In addition, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Gauteng operations throw up the unexpected.

Your Workplace

Notably, 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.

A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Gauteng. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.

Beyond 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.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Kempton Park site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

Meet the Team

Practically speaking, you will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the marketing jobs side of the business inside out. The Kempton Park group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.

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.

In addition, the team mix in Kempton Park reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.

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