Office and Reception Manager

About Engage Video Group
Engage Video Group is a technology-driven social media video business combining data and creativity to produce content people genuinely care about. We work with global corporations such as Unilever, NESTLÉ, Virgin, Expedia to create some of the world's most engaging and shareable branded content. We also own and operate Foodies of SA, the largest food and recipe social media platform in Africa.

Our Purpose
We believe the advertising industry has a problem: people hate ads. Traditional, ad-centric content is cluttering our social feeds, creating mistrust and fatigue. By tapping into audience data and testing our content with real people in real time, we optimise our output around the topics audiences truly care about, delivered in the formats they love to watch.

Our Culture
We're passionate about what we do. Although we operate globally and have scaled quickly, we remain a startup at heart, we are driven by A-players, creatives, and problem-solvers who challenge convention. We prioritise people over ego, believe in taking care of our team, and have a lot of fun along the way.

Where You Fit In
We're always looking for exceptional people who are passionate about the advertising and content-creation space, and who believe in its ability to make a meaningful impact. If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you. We're looking for team players who go the extra mile, collaborate with intention, and are committed to delivering work that truly matters.
