Campaign Manager

Whether you are a seasoned Campaign Manager or stepping into the role for the first time, there is space for you in Mthatha. The team hires on merit and across communities in Eastern Cape.

The Role

The Campaign Manager vacancy forms part of how the Mthatha branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the marketing jobs side of the business moving forward.

Equally, the successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Mthatha team on trust, and the Campaign Manager role will feel that from week one.

Quality is everyone's job. Whether the Campaign Manager is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in Eastern Cape is consistently high and consistently fair.

The Environment

Practically speaking, 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 Eastern Cape. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.

Importantly, 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.

Our Commitment to Transformation

On top of that, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.

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 Eastern Cape.
