The posting

Growth Marketing & Brand Specialist

Location: Bedfordview, Johannesburg Employment Type: Permanent

This Is Not a Traditional Marketing Role

  • We are not looking for someone to simply schedule social media posts, update websites or create Canva graphics.
  • We are looking for a builder.
  • Someone who wants to help grow a business.
  • Someone who sees opportunities where others see problems.
  • Someone who brings ideas to the table, takes ownership, executes relentlessly and measures success by results.
  • This role is ideal for someone who thinks like an entrepreneur. We are looking for someone who sees opportunities, takes ownership, solves problems, generates ideas and wants to play a meaningful role in helping grow a business. If you prefer highly structured environments where every task is prescribed, this role is unlikely to be the right fit.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
