Digital Marketing Consultant

This is a remote position.

Who are we?

Ringier South Africa has built a game-changing marketing and automation tool which is having very good results across our Media and Marketplaces portfolio of more than 120 companies. The tool is called the Content Distribution Engine (CDE), and its our response to a big shift in digital: content is everywhere, but distribution is fragmented, manual, and inefficient.

We built the CDE to solve this at scale — a platform that acts like 1,000 expert marketers, automatically adapting and pushing content across search, social, and discovery channels to drive free, high-intent traffic and repeat engagement. It’s already powering organic growth across Ringier’s marketplaces and media brands in multiple countries — and now, we’re scaling it beyond our walls. This is about transforming how digital businesses grow without growing their teams. We're looking for someone to help drive and define our growth into a powerhouse SaaS tool used across multiple industries.
