Work-Force
Bring your skills as a Public Relations Officer to Kempton Park and join a team that moves fast. This Gauteng role is one to watch.
About the Opportunity
This Public Relations Officer role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Kempton Park. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the marketing jobs pipeline across Gauteng.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the marketing jobs team in Gauteng 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 Kempton Park.
What Your Day Looks Like
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.
The Kempton Park 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.
Crucially, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Gauteng operations throw up the unexpected.
