Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa Rival Full time R600 000 - R1 200 000 per year
Rival is a marketing consultancy for challengers-and we're looking for a Producer to join our Cape Town team.

This isn't a role for someone who wants to do "business as usual." Our clients come to us because they need breakthrough marketing strategies that cut through complexity, beat incumbents, and create disproportionate impact.

As a Producer, you will play a key role in owning and operating Rival Media -the in-house media "company" we are building around our brand. You will work closely with our London-based Executive Producer to oversee the production and distribution of the full suite of our media properties - podcast, video, email, social, research, whitepapers, events, community, etc. You will also have the opportunity to help concept new ideas and campaigns for our marketing activity.

What You'll Do
  • The focus of this Producer role will be on our media/marketing activity, owning much of the day-to-day planning and production activity
  • You will spend most of your time overseeing the production and distribution of content and events, as well as developing our editorial strategy/content calendar, and strategies and tactics to drive distribution for our content, attendance to our events, and the growth of our community
  • You'll have scope for working autonomously and have the ability to really have an impact as part of growing a business
  • Play a key part in Rival Media's mission to understand what drives the growth of challenger brands and uncover the next-gen marketing playbook for marketing leaders, and we do this by building content, research and events for senior marketing leaders globally.
  • You'll be joining the media team which spends 70% of time creating a digital publication for modern marketers and CMOs and 30% of time fulfilling client production requests on scopes alongside our design team.
Why Rival, Why Now
  • A consultancy built differently. We're four years in, growing fast, and proving there's a premium alternative to the bloated incumbents.
  • Global perspective. Work with ambitious clients across North America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
  • Small team, big impact. With boutique sizing, every project is high visibility and high impact-no hiding in the back row.
  • Direct influence. Work alongside Rival's founders, shaping the consultancy's future as much as our clients'.
Who Thrives Here

We don't hire CVs, we hire people who think and act like challengers.
  • Strong organizational skills along with the demonstrated ability to work to a deadline
  • A good understanding of what's happening in new age media (YouTube, TikTok)
  • The ability to spot trends in media content and programming
  • A start-up mentality and personality: you're mission-driven and not afraid to get stuck in
Extra points if...
  • You've helped scale a start-up, agency, or consultancy.
  • You've lived the battle of challengers vs. incumbents.
Premium Compensation, Real Upside

We believe in rewarding excellence with premium upside, not average paychecks.
  • Base Salary: Competitive within consultancy/agency benchmarks.
  • Profit Share: Twice-yearly distributions (eligibility after 90 days), tied to performance.
  • Employee Liquidity Plan ("shadow stock"): Share in Rival's long-term success-without the friction of traditional options (eligibility after 1 year)
Benefits Designed for Impact
  • 21-days vacation days for South African employees + public holidays
  • Discovery Health Medical Aid contribution
    • Rival will contribute up to R3750 per month
  • Retirement Annuity
    • Rival will contribute a maximum of 3% of the employee's Cost to Company (CTC) to the RA fund.
    • The employee must at a minimum match the company's contribution of 3%.
  • Parental/Family/Maternity/Adoption Leave
About Rival

Rival is a marketing consultancy built for challengers. Incumbent best practices deliver average results-we don't do average. We apply challenger brand thinking to help CMOs achieve outsized impact with smarter, leaner, bolder marketing strategies.

Our Hiring Philosophy

We're building a consultancy that's both premium and progressive-a home for the world's best marketing talent and a model for diversity in our industry.

Our commitments:
  • Clarity and fairness in every process
  • Respect for candidates' time (including paid tasks)
  • Speed and transparency in communication
  • Feedback opportunities throughout
  • You'll speak to a range of people in different roles, to give you a flavour of what it's like here
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We know diverse perspectives drive better strategies. Rival is committed to building a consultancy where individuality fuels innovation. Authenticity isn't an initiative-it's a requirement.
