Let's keep it simple: if you live on the internet, spot trends before they peak, and know how to turn content into conversations, keep reading.We're looking for a Social Media Manager who gets how fast social moves and isn't afraid to move with it. One day you're riding a trend that's blowing up, the next you're explaining to a client why you definitely can't recreate it. You know the rhythm, and you thrive in it.
What you'll actually be doing This role lives at the intersection of creativity and chaos (the good kind). You'll own content calendars across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and X, scheduling and posting content that's intentional and actually performs. A big part of the job is community management, so you'll be running comments, DMs and real-time engagement while keeping a constant eye on the trends, moments and conversations that matter.Beyond the day-to-day, you'll:
Work closely with creative and strategy teams to bring ideas to life
Pull reports that are clear, useful and insight driven
Manage client communication and keep projects on track
Ensure all content is aligned to brand tone and guidelines
You'll thrive here if you
Know your way around social platforms confidently
Can balance creativity with structure
Are organised, reliable and accountable
Can manage multiple brands at once
Write well across captions, comments and responses
Understand what makes content perform
The vibe we're looking for We want someone who's genuinely tuned into South African culture and trends, the kind of person who already knew the meme before it hit the group chat. You're proactive and solutions driven, you bring ideas rather than just execution, and you stay calm under pressure. Above all, you're a strong team player who takes ownership and adapts quickly when things shift, which in social, is roughly every twelve minutes.
The basics
2 to 4 years' experience in social media or digital marketing
Agency experience is beneficial
Strong content planning and reporting skills
Comfortable managing multiple accounts
Willing to work flexible hours when required
Nice to have
Experience working with influencers or creators
Understanding of paid media and boosting
Strong ideation skills
Why Reach Digital
You'll work across a variety of exciting brands in a collaborative, supportive team environment. It's a fast-paced place with a strong team culture and real opportunity to grow and develop your skills. We move quickly, we back each other, and we actually like the work we do (and yes, we will judge your meme literacy in the interview, lovingly).
