You will be the local marketing lead, working in close partnership with the central marketing team to adapt global strategy and brand to the South African audience while meeting local commercial targets.
You are accountable for the full local marketing mix — brand, digital performance, affiliates, and agency relationships — within a regulated, client-centric financial business.
The role combines strategic ownership with hands-on execution and offers broad cross-functional exposure across brand, performance, compliance, and commercial teams in a fast-growing market.

Oversee local marketing and media agencies and manage the affiliate base — ensuring quality delivery, efficient media buying, and accountability.
Ensure all local marketing activity meets FSCA financial-promotion requirements and POPIA, working with Legal and Compliance on sign-off.
Own the local marketing budget — tracking spend against forecast and reporting on efficiency.
