WebConsultants is a growing digital marketing consultancy delivering premium, results-driven digital marketing services to a select group of clients.

We are hiring two Digital Marketing Assistants to support client delivery across SEO, Google Ads, websites, email marketing, and social media. This is an entry-level role with a clear growth path for the right person.

This role is not suitable for beginners with no foundational knowledge. We will train and mentor you — but we are not starting from scratch.

What You’ll Be Doing (First 90 Days)

You will support delivery across active retainer clients and website projects, including:

• Google Ads setup support & optimisation
• Keyword research (SEO & paid media)
• Writing ad copy
• On-page SEO updates
• Blog formatting & publishing
• KPI reporting (GA4, Looker Studio, spreadsheets)
• Website updates (WordPress, Divi, Elementor)
• Social media scheduling
• Drafting content for emails, social posts, and websites
• Designing basic social and email graphics (Canva / Lovable)
• Following delivery workflows in Monday.com

Client communication may be introduced gradually as capability and confidence grow.

Required Knowledge & Experience (Non-Negotiable)

You must already have entry-level knowledge or experience in most of the following:

• SEO fundamentals & keyword research
• Google Ads basics
• WordPress websitesDivi and/or Elementor
• GA4 & basic reporting
• Email marketing platforms (Mailchimp, MailerLite)
• Social media platforms (Meta Business Suite)
• Canva or similar design tools
• Practical use of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT)

Familiarity with tools like SEMrush, Ahrefs, Wix, Lovable, or similar is highly beneficial.

You do not need to be an expert — but you must understand how these tools are used in real client environments.

Who This Role Is For

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Is actively studying toward or has completed a marketing / business-related qualification, or
• Has hands‑on entry-level industry experience
• Takes initiative and ownership
• Cares deeply about quality and detail
• Wants to grow into a specialist or account manager role
• Understands that client results matter

We are not looking for someone who does the bare minimum.

Work Setup & Hours

• Fully remote (for now)
• Must have own device and reliable internet
• Working hours:
• Monday–Friday
• 09:00–17:00 (SAST)
• 1‑hour daily break
• Full‑time commitment required (no other jobs during working hours)

Occasional in‑office work may be required in the future (Stellenbosch / Somerset West).

Contract & Compensation

• Full‑time role
• Structure:
• 3‑week probation
• 3‑month contract
• Permanent employment thereafter
• Salary: R8,500.00 per month
• Future potential commission opportunities per account managed
• UIF and tax are not included initially and must be managed independently

Growth Opportunity

This role has a clear path toward:

• Senior Digital Marketing Assistant
• Account Manager
• Increased responsibility and earning potential

Growth is performance‑based, not tenure‑based.

1. Complete a shortlist qualification Google Form
