Marketing Coordinator

Applications are warmly invited for a Marketing Coordinator role based in Umhlanga. We welcome candidates from every background across KwaZulu-Natal who are ready to grow with us.

About the Opportunity

The organisation is investing in its Umhlanga operation, and this Marketing Coordinator position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the marketing jobs function and contribute to the wider KwaZulu-Natal business.

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

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

Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Marketing Coordinator is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in KwaZulu-Natal is consistently high and consistently fair.

Working in Umhlanga

Working in Umhlanga means a place along the lush KZN North Coast, with a steady flow of activity and a strong local economy. The team has built solid relationships across the KwaZulu-Natal region, and the Umhlanga office benefits from those long-standing connections.

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

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 Umhlanga.

If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Umhlanga, KwaZulu-Natal.

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.

Crucially, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when KwaZulu-Natal operations throw up the unexpected.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Umhlanga.

Crucially, the Umhlanga 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.

What We Offer

On top of that, the company invests in the people who join it. From structured onboarding to ongoing skills development, you will find clear paths to grow your career in marketing jobs from your base in Umhlanga. Many colleagues across KwaZulu-Natal have moved into senior roles after starting in positions just like this one.

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

Crucially, 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 Umhlanga 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 KwaZulu-Natal.

Growing With Us

This role can grow with you. Strong performers in the marketing jobs team in Umhlanga have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.

Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Umhlanga have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across KwaZulu-Natal.

Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.

Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Umhlanga team member.
