Marketing Coordinator

Applications are warmly invited for a Marketing Coordinator role based in Mdantsane. We welcome candidates from every background across Eastern Cape who are ready to grow with us.

What This Role Involves

An experienced Marketing Coordinator is needed to support operations in Mdantsane. The role forms part of how the business keeps its marketing jobs portfolio strong in Eastern Cape.

The organisation keeps reporting lines clean and expectations realistic. Performance is measured against a small, agreed set of metrics, and there are no surprise yardsticks for the Marketing Coordinator taking on this position.

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 Eastern Cape is consistently high and consistently fair.

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

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 Mdantsane much easier.

Diversity and Inclusion

Importantly, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.

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

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

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.

Career Growth

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

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

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

Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Mdantsane have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Eastern Cape.

What We Offer

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

On top of that, 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 Mdantsane keep progressing.

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

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 Eastern Cape.

The Environment

On top of 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.

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

Importantly, 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.

A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Eastern Cape. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.

What Your Day Looks Like

On top of that, 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.

Equally, the Mdantsane 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.

On top of that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Eastern Cape 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 Mdantsane.

Based in Mdantsane

Practically speaking, the role is based in Mdantsane, close to the East London Industrial Park. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Mdantsane and the broader Eastern Cape region.

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 Mdantsane.

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

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