Work-Force
Listing live now. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Marketing Coordinator in Ermelo, and we encourage applicants from across Mpumalanga to consider this opportunity.
The Role
This Marketing Coordinator role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Ermelo. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the marketing jobs pipeline across Mpumalanga.
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 Ermelo team.
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 Ermelo much easier.
Why This Role
You will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Ermelo colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the marketing jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.
Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Ermelo teams.
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 Ermelo keep progressing.
Day in the Life
Equally, 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.
Crucially, the Ermelo 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 Ermelo.
About Ermelo
Crucially, the role is based in Ermelo, close to the Komatipoort border post. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Ermelo and the broader Mpumalanga region.
Many candidates already living within reach of Ermelo cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local Mpumalanga economy.
If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Ermelo, Mpumalanga.
