Job description

Correlate City of Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa

Mid / Senior Digital Project Manager

About Correlate Digital

We're a small performance-obsessed agency that turns data, strategy, and paid media into measurable business value for clients on four continents.

We thrive on challenging the "same-old" marketing playbook; so if you're hungry to rethink, rebuild, and disrupt, you'll fit right in.

Why This Role Exists

As our client roster grows, flawless coordination is mission-critical.

You'll be the operational backbone that keeps projects, people, and partners moving in sync, so strategists can strategise and media buyers can optimise.

What You'll Do

Key Responsibilities

Project Management

Track project scope, timelines, budgets, and success metrics across a portfolio of local & international accounts.

Flag risks early, propose solutions, and keep the team accountable for on-time, in-scope delivery.

Own project documentation : briefs, status reports, post-mortems so nothing falls through the cracks.

Team Coordination

Schedule and facilitate kick-offs, stand-ups, and sprint reviews.

Liaise with strategy, media, data, and creative pods to secure resources and keep workloads balanced.

Ensure assets flow smoothly between internal teams, freelancers, and third-party vendors.

Process & Systems

Maintain our project boards and time-tracking tools, guaranteeing every task has an owner and a deadline.

Client Support

Build a deep understanding of each client's brand, KPIs, and pain points.

Deliver clear, confident comms : agendas, recaps, and weekly status updates that make clients feel in the loop, and at ease.

Surface upsell opportunities or optimisation ideas to the account lead.

What You Need to Succeed

Experience : 3+ years in a digital agency or fast-moving marketing team (internships count).

Education : Diploma or degree in Project Management, Marketing, Communications, or similar.

Toolset : Comfortable with project-management software (e.g., ) and G-Suite; bonus points for basic GA4 or ad-platform familiarity.

Hyper-organised, detail-obsessed, and able to juggle multiple deadlines.

Clear written & verbal communicator who can translate "client-speak" into actionable tasks.

Data-curious : you love dashboards and know that numbers tell the real story.

Proactive problem-solver who flags issues, not excuses.

Energised by a fast-changing environment (start-up pace, enterprise standards).

Culture Fit Checklist

Deliver nothing but the best, then push for better.

Own your outcomes; celebrate wins and learn from missteps.

Thrive on puns, good coffee, and the occasional GIF war.

Show up on time, keep promises, and never ghost your teammates.

What's In It for You

Accelerated Growth – Direct mentorship from senior strategists, plus paid training toward relevant certifications.

Real Responsibility – You'll manage visible work for household-name brands within your first month.

Flexible Work – Hybrid setup with core-hours autonomy.

Team That Cares – Quarterly off-sites, learning lunches, and a "no-brilliant-jerks" policy.
