Work-Force
This is a current vacancy. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Social Media Manager in Springbok, and we encourage applicants from across Northern Cape to consider this opportunity.
Overview
In addition, this Social Media Manager role sits within the marketing jobs function in Springbok. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Northern Cape.
The successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Springbok team on trust, and the Social Media Manager role will feel that from week one.
In addition, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Springbok also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Social Media Manager to step into the marketing jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.
Where You’ll Work
Importantly, 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 Springbok site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
On top of that, 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 Northern Cape. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
Your Team
On top of that, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Springbok office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Northern Cape operations get busy.
On top of that, the team mix in Springbok reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.
Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.
Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.
Why Join Us
You will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Springbok colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the marketing jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.
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 Northern Cape.
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 Springbok keep progressing.
Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Springbok teams.
A Typical Day
Importantly, 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.
In addition, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Northern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
Equally, the Springbok 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 Springbok.
Our Commitment to Transformation
Inclusion is a core part of how the team operates. This is an equal-opportunity employer, and candidates from all communities — including women, youth and persons living with disabilities — are encouraged to apply for this role in Springbok.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Springbok.
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 Northern Cape.
