Job description

We are looking for a professional to join our Bloemfontein team as Digital Marketing Manager.

For this position, you do not need any experience but you do need to show a track record of excellence in your chosen profession and in life, in general.

Let's take Jenny as an example: Jenny obtained her degree cum laude, while working part-time to put herself through university. When she graduated, she was offered a full time job by her employer, because she outperformed the other employees. She also managed to run a couple of marathons in her free time, just because she can. If you're like Jenny, we want you!

3 Reasons to join team Xineoh

Remuneration & work hours

Remuneration

Remuneration will depend entirely on the candidate’s experience and the level of productivity he or she can bring to the team.

At Xineoh, we are not about sticking to fixed salary scales, the more productive you are and the more you contribute, the better your remuneration will be, the sky is the limit. Having a productive, well compensated and happy team is a definite win for us, so we are always looking for ways to help our people up their productivity and thereby increase their earning potential.

For the ideal candidate who-

• meets all the requirements;
• is a great fit for the company in general; and
• who will be able to take the company to the next level in terms of website editing
• we are open to negotiations and, because we do business internationally, we can offer compensation well above what is considered market related in South Africa.

Future Prospects

Xineoh is a young business and we are growing fast. This means that, for the right person, the possibilities for growth are endless. We are always looking for great people to promote into senior leadership roles.

Work hours

Our team keeps regular work hours most of the time, 8:30 – 5:30 with some flexibility where necessary. Sometimes, however, it is necessary to put in some extra time when deadlines and certain project logistics require that.

For this specific position, constant monitoring of online activity will be required, so you should be available to monitor online activity remotely in the evenings and most weekends. Unfortunately, the internet doesn’t keep 9-5 business hours.

We expect team members to be passionate about their projects and take responsibility for their projects and make sure things run smoothly all the time, so working for us is not a regular 9-5.

We are, however, serious about our team not getting burned-out, so we do our best to make sure there are enough resources to keep your workload manageable.
