Social Media Manager jobs in South Africa

This is not a desk job. This is a heartbeat job.

If you’re looking for a “post-schedule-and-log-off” role this is not for you.

If you live on social, love people, feel energy in rooms, and know culture is the game — keep reading.

We just opened our Durban site.

Now we need someone to turn it into a movement.

Not content.

Not HR.

Not vibes-only.

Storytelling that converts.

People who feel proud as hell to be here.

Your job is simple (and very hard):

Make employees feel seen, valued, and fired up

Make South Africa feel proud of Durban

Make clients say: “Yeah… THAT’S where we should grow.”

If you win internally, the brand wins externally.

That’s the game.

Be on the Floor. Every Day.

• Talk to people. Film people. Celebrate people.
• Capture real moments, not staged nonsense.
• Promotions, wins, laughs, growth, hustle — all of it.

• LinkedIn. Instagram. TikTok. Whatever works.
• Short-form video is king — if that scares you, don’t apply.
• Show Durban’s energy, talent, pride, and potential.
• Make this site impossible to ignore.

• Run engagement, recognition, and celebration programs
• Make new hires feel like they joined something special
• Turn work into a place people want to show up to
• Kill disengagement before it spreads

• storytellers
• managers
• culture carriers
• leaders
• visible, human, respected

No fake motivation posters.

Real pride. Real growth. Real opportunity.

You’re probably:

• Loud with your heart, humble with your ego
• Obsessed with people, not titles
• Comfortable holding a phone AND running an event
• Emotionally intelligent — you feel rooms
• Proud to be South African and even prouder of Durban

You might have:

• 3–7 years in social, culture, engagement, marketing, or people ops
• Experience in BPO, CX, startups, or high-energy environments
• Zero patience for bureaucracy
• A bias for action

Degrees don’t impress us.

Execution does.

• Employees want to be featured
• Social engagement is climbing — organically
• Leaders are asking you for ideas
• Culture feels louder, tighter, stronger
• Durban starts getting noticed internally and externally

This role has real influence.

You will shape how people feel, how clients perceive us, and how Durban shows up on the global stage.

If that excites you — apply.

If that scares you — good. That means it matters.
