Assist World

Senior Social Media Marketing Manager

South Africa / Marketing/SEO/Full-Time

Role brief

What this role is asking for.

Overview

We are looking for a sharp, proactive, and genuinely skilled Digital Marketing & Content Specialist to support ongoing marketing execution across email, LinkedIn, website content, and SEO. This is a hands-on execution role — not a strategy-only position. The ideal candidate takes full ownership of their work, communicates transparently, and brings consistent energy and output every single day. AI tools are welcome as a support layer, but strong independent thinking, writing ability, and real platform proficiency are non-negotiable.

Key Responsibilities

HubSpot & Email Marketing

  • Build and execute email marketing campaigns in HubSpot
  • Upload, tag, and segment contact databases accurately
  • Automate workflows and email sequences
  • Create and send targeted newsletters to segmented audiences

LinkedIn & Social Media

  • Manage and post content on LinkedIn (primary platform)
  • Engage with comments and grow audience organically
  • Maintain a consistent, professional brand voice across platforms

Content Creation & Copywriting

  • Write high-quality original content for a professional, white-collar audience
  • Produce posts, newsletters, and campaign copy with minimal hand-holding
  • Use AI tools to assist — not replace — original thinking and writing

Website & SEO

  • Upload and manage content in WordPress
  • Support on-page SEO and blog publishing
  • Contribute to website improvements and layout updates

Reporting & Communication

  • Share work-in-progress proactively — do not wait until everything is "perfect"
  • Provide regular updates on task status and campaign performance
  • Flag blockers early rather than going silent

Must-Haves

  • Proven, depth-level HubSpot experience (implementation, not just reporting)
  • Hands-on email marketing and campaign execution
  • Strong LinkedIn content and engagement experience
  • Excellent English writing skills — especially for corporate/professional audiences
  • Microsoft 365 proficient (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
  • WordPress experience (content publishing and basic updates)
  • Comfortable using AI tools as an assistant, not a ghostwriter
  • Reliable, high-energy, and proactive communicator

Nice to Have

  • SEO experience (sustained, not one-off)
  • Paid ads (LinkedIn, Google)
  • Video editing
  • B2B or professional services industry background

What Success Looks Like

  • Work is shared openly and in progress — not hidden until it's "ready"
  • Output matches the energy and capability shown in the interview, consistently
  • Campaigns are running, contacts are segmented, content is live
  • Communication is clear, direct, and human — not AI-generated sounding
  • Tasks are completed in realistic, stated timeframes — no surprises
