MARKETING COORDINATOR: SPORTS/WELLNESS PROMOTIONS
Events Manager – Marketing, Marketing Co-ordinator/Assistant – Marketing
Western Cape
We have a healthy hybrid opportunity for an energetic Marketing Coordinator with experience within the sport/health/wellness sector at an innovative, fast-growing health food & wellness brand based in Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs.
We’re looking for a fast-paced, health-conscious go-getter to jump into the role of Marketing Coordinator at this thriving health brand that lives and breathes the active lifestyle. With a fresh new product in their portfolio aimed at sporty, on-the-move consumers—think marathon runners, triathletes, and gym regulars—they need someone who gets the space and can speak the language.
You’ll coordinate retail-linked promotions and in-person brand activations, keep the organic social media presence energised and engaging, and ensure the e-commerce site is on point (including basic back-end updates while keeping a sharp eye on brand visuals and functionality).
With 4–5 years’ marketing experience under your belt, you’ll be confident managing external partners and juggling multiple projects using project management tools like ClickUp
with calm efficiency and strong follow-through.
If you live the lifestyle, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and can bring the same passion to your planning as you do to your plate, this could be your ideal match. Apply today!
