Job description

We’re looking for a dynamic, self-starting Social Media & Content Creator to join the THIRSTI team. This is not your average desk job. We’re on the hunt for someone who’s ready to get out there — into the heart of the action — and create extraordinary content that captures the energy of sport, the power of hydration, and the spirit of THIRSTI.

YOUR MISSION:

1. Be proactive with content ideas, whether it's at one of THIRSTI's sources, at key events, training sessions, or shoots — capturing moments that matter
2. Manage and grow THIRSTI’s social media channels (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.)
3. Edit and produce top-tier, scroll-stopping content (short-form video, reels, stories, static and animated posts)
4. Build our presence around THIRSTI Water, THIRSTI Flavours, and THIRSTI Sport
5. Collaborate with ambassadors, sports teams, and partners to bring our sponsorships to life
6. Plan, schedule, and monitor content performance to keep us moving forward

WE’RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO:

• Has a proven track record in social media management and content creation
• Can shoot and edit fast, beautiful, impactful content (video + stills)
• Has experience with tools like Adobe Creative Suite, CapCut, Canva, or similar
• Has a passion for sports, storytelling, and hydration
• Is available to travel to events and work occasional weekends
• Is confident working with talent, athletes, and brand ambassadors
• Can think strategically about content, not just create it
• Has a proactive, all-in attitude — the kind of person who makes things happen

EXTRA POINTS IF YOU:

• Have a degree or diploma in marketing, media, or content creation
• Have experience working with FMCG, lifestyle, or sports brands
• Know how to capture great moments
• Are a person with a good sense of humour and team spirit

WHY JOIN THIRSTI?

We’re one of South Africa’s fastest-growing hydration brands — and we’re making waves. With an iconic product range and a sports sponsorship portfolio full of opportunities, this is your chance to be part of a brand that’s always on the move.

HOW TO APPLY:

Send your CV, portfolio or showreel, and a short note on why you’re the right person for the job to [e-mail]. Bonus points if you send us an Instagram Reel introducing yourself.
