Proven experience managing $5M+ marketing budgets with full ROI accountability. Strong technical knowledge of MarTech ecosystems, analytics, and ad platforms (Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, programmatic). Expertise in data‑driven performance management, attribution, and digital experimentation. Experience leading multi‑disciplinary teams across regions and time zones. Postgraduate qualification in Marketing, Business, or Data Analytics (Honours or higher). Nice‑to‑Haves Experience scaling digital marketing in emerging or mobile‑first markets. Understanding of privacy frameworks (GDPR, POPIA). Familiarity with AI tools, CDPs, and automation platforms. Remote Work Note Should you be appointed in a remote/work‑from‑home role at Mukuru, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have uninterrupted internet connectivity and a ‘work‑like’ environment at your home location, in order to deliver your best in terms of performance, productivity and service to our customers. Application Guidance If you meet the majority of our requirements and have confidence in your ability to contribute, we encourage you to apply. Include a brief snippet of how you will bring value and help us build a future of success that will allow us to determine where and how you may best be suited. #J-18808-Ljbffr
