Communications Officer

Posted recently. Role: Communications Officer. Location: Pretoria, Gauteng. The team is hiring and seeks a candidate who can step in and deliver from week one.

About This Position

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

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 Pretoria team.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Communications Officer 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.

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

About Pretoria

Working in Pretoria means a place near the Midrand technology hub, with a steady flow of activity and a strong local economy. The team has built solid relationships across the Gauteng region, and the Pretoria office benefits from those long-standing connections.

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 Pretoria.

If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Pretoria, Gauteng.

Many candidates already living within reach of Pretoria cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local Gauteng economy.

What We Offer

You will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Pretoria colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the marketing jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.

Importantly, the company reinvests in its people: paid training, internal moves and the chance to take on bigger projects are all part of how careers in Pretoria keep progressing.

Benefits are clear and consistent. Beyond the package on offer, the role includes the supports you would expect from an established South African employer in Gauteng.

Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Pretoria teams.

The Environment

Beyond that, 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.

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.

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

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.

Diversity and Inclusion

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 Pretoria.

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 Pretoria.

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

What Your Day Looks Like

Practically speaking, 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 Pretoria.

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

Equally, the Pretoria 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.
