Marketing Coordinator

Whether you are a seasoned Marketing Coordinator or stepping into the role for the first time, there is space for you in Bethlehem. The team hires on merit and across communities in Free State.

The Role

This Marketing Coordinator role sits within the marketing jobs function in Bethlehem. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Free State.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the marketing jobs team in Free State make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the marketing jobs group in Bethlehem.

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 Bethlehem teams, and the new Marketing Coordinator will feel that from the first week.

Working in Bethlehem

Bethlehem continues to grow as an employment hub in Free State, with along the N1 central corridor. This role gives you a foothold in one of its busier business communities, with access to the local services, suppliers and partners that keep the work moving.

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

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

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 Bethlehem.

Meet the Team

The team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Bethlehem office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Free State operations get busy.

Importantly, the team mix in Bethlehem 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.

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.

A Typical Day

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 Bethlehem 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 Bethlehem.

Crucially, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Free State operations throw up the unexpected.

Our Commitment to Transformation

Diverse teams build stronger workplaces. Applications are welcome from candidates of every background, language and community across Free State, and recruitment is fair, transparent and aligned with the EE Act.

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.

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

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Bethlehem.
