Marketing Manager (Founding Role)

Location: Johannesburg

Type: Full-Time, Permanent (On-site)

Reports To: Group CEO/Executive

About the Role: Build, Lead, and Standardize:

Seeking an ambitious, highly strategic, and hands-on Group Marketing Manager to join this IT Holding Company. This is a unique and exciting founding role where you will be tasked with building a centralized, shared services marketing function from the ground up to support multiple portfolio companies within the alliance.

In the initial phase, you will be the sole marketing professional, responsible for the full end-to-end marketing function—from strategy and budget ownership to hands-on execution. The successful candidate will transition into a leadership role, responsible for driving brand alignment, strategic campaigns, and effective communication across the entire group, ultimately overseeing a growing team or network of marketing resources.

This role offers unparalleled ownership, creative freedom, and the opportunity to define the future of marketing for a leading IT group.

The key is to integrate the vision of building a shared services marketing function for the entire holding company with the immediate reality of the role being a solo, executive-level builder who will eventually lead and manage this group function.
