South African-Based Remote Paid Social Media Manager (Performance-Focused) Full-Time 3-Month ...

We're looking for a performance marketer, not someone who boosts posts.

This role is for a Paid Social specialist who understands full-funnel strategy, budget allocation, testing frameworks, and performance optimisation across all major paid social platforms (Meta, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and more).

You should be comfortable owning campaigns end-to-end:

• Building strategy aligned to business objectives
• Structuring and managing media budgets
• Launching and optimising campaigns
• Analysing data and extracting actionable insights
• Reporting clearly to stakeholders

We value commercial thinking, accountability, and strong execution. If you rely heavily on step-by-step instructions, this role won't be the right fit.

If you thrive on performance targets and measurable impact, keep reading.

To apply, send the following (unbranded samples accepted):

BEFORE YOU APPLY:

One of the main reasons candidates are screened out is simple misalignment between their CV and the role they're applying for. Before submitting an application, it's worth taking a few minutes to check that your experience clearly matches the job spec. A quick way to do this is by using an AI tool like ChatGPT. Paste the job description and your CV, then ask: "Please evaluate my CV against this job spec. Where do I match, where are the gaps, and how can I improve it?" The feedback highlights alignment, gaps, and areas where your experience could be positioned more clearly. This process takes minutes and can significantly improve your chances of being shortlisted in a competitive market.
