Cape Town, Western Cape or Johannesburg, Gauteng Contract Remote Closes 25 Oct 2026

What the job is

This is a Marketing and Growth Manager position at Black Snow Agency, a forward-thinking company based in Cape Town or Johannesburg. The role is designed for someone who understands modern agencies and what their clients and employees expect. This is not just a typical marketing job—it combines marketing with business growth responsibilities.

What you will do

You will spend half of your time on Black Snow’s own marketing. This includes strengthening the brand, increasing visibility, building reputation, and generating demand in South Africa, the UK, Europe, and key African markets. You will manage the company’s website, content, thought leadership, SEO, paid media, and outbound marketing, with clear monthly targets for leads and pipeline value. You will also handle the marketing CRM, campaign tracking, and performance reporting, while keeping an eye on competitors and market trends.

The other half of your time will focus on growing the agency. You will support the Managing Director and Head of Client Service with new business opportunities, such as pitches, RFPs, proposals, and presentations. You will help build credentials, case studies, and new-business materials, as well as track the new-business pipeline from first contact to closing. Additionally, you will assist in expanding Black Snow’s presence in the UK, Europe, and selected African markets through research, positioning, and relationship-building.

What you need

You need at least 5 years of experience in an agency, B2B marketing, professional services, or a similar field. A strong understanding of brand building and how agencies win new business is essential. You should have broad digital marketing knowledge, including SEO, paid media, content, social media, email, and demand generation. Experience with pitches, proposals, RFPs, and new-business opportunities is required, as well as familiarity with CRM, marketing automation, and outbound prospecting tools.

Strong writing, presentation, and communication skills are a must, along with the ability to engage confidently with senior decision-makers, prospects, partners, and clients. You should be able to identify commercial opportunities, distinguish meaningful pipeline activity, and have strong networking and relationship-building skills. International or multi-market B2B experience would be an advantage.

What you will get

The salary is negotiable and includes benefits such as a cell phone allowance, data allowance, and travel allowance. This is a contract position with the option for remote work. You will have the opportunity to work with a fun and talented team while helping to grow a dynamic agency in exciting markets.
