## Job Description

We're not looking for just any Marketing Manager. We're looking for someone who understands what an agency of the future actually looks like and what its clients and its own people want to see from it. That's why we call this role Marketing and Growth Manager, not just Marketing Manager.
That means dynamic, profit-driven, and strategically minded, with serious digital experience, a strong network, and the ability to sell at the highest level. Most importantly, you enjoy working with fun and talented people.
This is a dual-purpose role. Approximately 50% of your time will be focused on Black Snow's own marketing - strengthening our brand, growing our visibility, building our reputation, and generating demand across South Africa, the UK, Europe, and key African markets. The other 50% will support the broader agency growth agenda - working alongside the Managing Director, Head of Client Service, and wider team on new-business opportunities, pitches, RFPs, events, partnerships, and initiatives that help us win and grow client relationships.
