Purpose of Job
The Africa Digital Lead manages and oversees a team comprising three departments: marketing technology, digital support (shared services centre) and value reporting. These three departments have a diverse range of skills, and the Digital Lead needs to have a working knowledge of the tools, skills and experience in each department.
The overall purpose of the Digital Presence Lead role is to deliver CMD services that support PwC Africa’s reimagined 5+1 strategy and The New Equation.

Digital support oversight: The Digital Lead is responsible for overseeing the technical support requirements pertaining to digital marketing, through a shared services model that supports PwC Africa member firms. This includes the management and maintenance of websites, social media channels, automated email systems, and other digital marketing tools.
