About the Role

As a Marketer at Ampath, you are at the forefront of building meaningful relationships that drive our mission forward. Your role is to connect with both existing and potential supporters, ensuring they experience the full value of our services. Through regional execution of our national marketing strategy, you help turn satisfied clients into passionate advocates. This is a role where your energy, creativity, and people-first mindset make a real difference - not just in growing our footprint, but in shaping how we are experienced and remembered.

Role Requirements

To thrive in this role, you need a Diploma or Degree in any field, along with a valid South African Code 08 (EB) driver’s license. While not essential, a qualification in Marketing, Public Relations, Account Management, or Sales will give you a strong advantage. Previous work experience for at least 5 years within Ampath will also be an addition. We are looking for someone with at least two years of experience in Sales, Business Development, or Account Management, ideally within a medical or healthcare environment. This experience equips you to navigate the unique dynamics of our industry and to build trust with clients from day one. We believe in empowering our people to lead with confidence and accountability, and your experience will be a key asset in doing just that.

Success in this role calls for a dynamic blend of skills. You need to be confident in upselling, identifying opportunities to introduce clients to additional services that add value. Strong communication and negotiation skills are essential, enabling you to engage at all levels and guide conversations toward mutually beneficial outcomes. You should also be comfortable with numerical reasoning to assess performance trends and make informed decisions. Proficiency in computer systems is important, as it supports your ability to manage information and stay organised in a fast-paced environment.

Role Impact

In this role, your influence is felt across every interaction. By nurturing strong client relationships, you help reinforce Ampath’s reputation for excellence and reliability. You will be instrumental in expanding our reach by introducing new clients to our services, all while creating memorable experiences that inspire loyalty. Whether organising a promotional event or managing day-to-day communications, your work contributes to a culture of engagement and high performance. You are not just representing a brand - you are shaping how it is perceived and trusted in the healthcare community.
