Work-Force
A Public Relations Officer position is being filled in Stellenbosch. Suitable candidates from across Western Cape are invited to submit their applications for review.
Overview
The Public Relations Officer vacancy forms part of how the Stellenbosch branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the marketing jobs side of the business moving forward.
