SEO Specialist

The organisation is recruiting a SEO Specialist for its Klerksdorp operation. The role forms part of a wider marketing jobs portfolio across North West.

About This Position

This SEO Specialist role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Klerksdorp. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the marketing jobs pipeline across North West.

Crucially, the role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Klerksdorp operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.

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 Klerksdorp.

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

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.

Equally, the Klerksdorp 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 Klerksdorp.

In addition, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when North West operations throw up the unexpected.

Diversity and Inclusion

Diverse teams build stronger workplaces. Applications are welcome from candidates of every background, language and community across North West, 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 North West.

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