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 Hartswater, and we encourage applicants from across Northern Cape to consider this opportunity.
Overview
The organisation is investing in its Hartswater operation, and this Social Media Manager position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the marketing jobs function and contribute to the wider Northern Cape business.
Equally, the successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Hartswater team on trust, and the Social Media Manager role will feel that from week one.
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 Hartswater much easier.
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 Hartswater teams, and the new Social Media Manager will feel that from the first week.

You will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Hartswater colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the marketing jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.
Importantly, 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 Hartswater keep progressing.
Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Hartswater 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 Northern Cape.
Your Workplace
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.
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.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Hartswater site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
Notably, 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.
