About the Opportunity
This Campaign Manager role sits within the marketing jobs function in Mthatha. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Eastern Cape.
Expect a structured first ninety days, with onboarding milestones, regular check-ins, and an early focus on getting comfortable with the systems and processes that underpin the Mthatha team.

Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Mthatha teams.
About the Team
You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the marketing jobs side of the business inside out. The Mthatha group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.
Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.
Crucially, the team mix in Mthatha 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.
Day in the Life
In addition, 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.
Practically speaking, the Mthatha 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 Mthatha.
Notably, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Eastern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
