Marketing Manager

📍 South Africa (Remote) | Full-Time | Marketing

Placed by Scaled – connecting top South African talent with world-class global companies

Are you the kind of marketer who loves testing, tweaking, and turning small wins into real growth?

We're hiring on behalf of a UK-based digital business focused on the Financial Services sector — a small, sharp team with a performance-first mindset and a clear focus on delivering measurable growth for their clients.

They're in demand and growing fast and need are looking for a brilliant marketing generalist who can own key channels and manage client delivery without waiting for constant direction. 🌱

🎯 The Opportunity

This is a hands-on marketing role where paid search and paid social come first — then SEO, then design support. You'll be working across channels that directly affect pipeline and growth, so your work won't sit in a deck somewhere collecting dust.

We're looking for someone senior enough to work autonomously, spot opportunities quickly, and make sensible calls without needing a play-by-play.

If you like optimising campaigns through data based decision making, sharp execution, and the satisfaction of improving performance step by step, this'll suit you.

🛠️ What You'll Be Doing

You'll own the day-to-day marketing work across performance, search, content, and creative.

• Run and optimise Google Ads, Meta Ads, and LinkedIn Ads with a test-and-learn mindset.
• Monitor performance closely — you'll spot trends, identify weak spots, and keep improving campaigns iteratively.
• Own SEO work across content and technical basics, with LinkedIn content helping support discoverability and brand visibility.
• Help shape design assets for campaigns when needed — simple, effective creative that supports the message and the click.
• Work independently across priorities, keeping the team updated with clear, practical communication.
• Bring a strong sense of pace and ownership — you won't need hand-holding to keep things moving.

🧠 What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will:

• At least 5 years' experience in marketing, with a strong focus on paid media and growth.
• Hands-on experience managing Google Ads, Meta Ads, and LinkedIn Ads.
• Solid understanding of SEO — both content-led SEO and technical SEO fundamentals.
• Comfortable using data to guide decisions, test ideas, and improve performance over time.
• Good design judgement — you don't need to be a full-time designer, but being able to create or brief effective assets is a real plus.
• A strong communicator who can work independently and keep people informed without needing lots of check-ins.

Most importantly, you're highly self-directed — you take ownership, work with pace, and care about making things better every week.

💎 Pay & Benefits

• Monthly salary: R40,000 – R60,000 (depending on experience)
• Fully remote role
• Full training and ongoing support
• Opportunity to work across paid media, SEO, and creative — with real ownership from day one
