  • Advantageous: At least two years working for another ecommerce retailer in a similar role

Qualifications:

  • Required: Relevant work experience writing copy and content research, and having some evidence of this in the form of a portfolio of publicly published work
  • Advantageous: If they happen to have a tertiary qualification in English, communication, copywriting or journalism that would be advantageous, as well as any experience working with content management systems

Skills:

  • Excellent copywriting and communication skills
  • Technical savvy, with an interest in the behind the scenes of ecommerce
  • An ability to research and make sense of product content and specs
  • Excellent verbal and written skills (English)
  • An ability to manage your own time and deliverables

Ideal traits:

  • Eager to learn and inwardly driven
  • Accurate and efficient
  • Disciplined, calm and confident

Pay and benefits

Pay and Benefits:

  • We pay competitive, marketrelated salaries based on skills and experience, and profit share based on the company's performance
  • Your salary is based on a "Total Cost To Company" model and includes:
  • Medical Aid (Discovery) contributions
  • Group Life Cover
  • Retirement Annuity
  • Employee Assistance programme
  • 17 Days Paid Annual Leave increasing to 20 days with length of service
