Overview:
Our client is a leading multi-brand organisation with a significant presence across South Africa and other African markets. They are looking for a Market Support Manager to support the execution of marketing activity across multiple country markets, acting as the central link between Lead Brand Teams and in-market teams.
This is a highly operational and cross-functional role focused on project coordination, stakeholder alignment, brand governance and delivery rather than owning brand strategy or campaigns. You’ll keep multiple marketing workstreams moving, manage timelines and approvals, remove bottlenecks and ensure activity is delivered consistently and in line with brand standards.

Responsibilities:
- Coordinate and track marketing milestones, deliverables, approvals, dependencies and timelines across Lead Brand Teams and country markets.
- Consolidate market inputs, maintain visibility across workstreams and provide clear progress updates to stakeholders.
- Proactively follow up on outstanding actions, identify delivery risks and ensure adherence to agreed timelines and agency SLAs.
- Act as the central liaison between brand and country teams, coordinating communication, requirements, decisions and approvals.
- Drive stakeholder alignment across multiple brands and markets, clarifying ownership and resolving bottlenecks that could impact delivery.
- Monitor adherence to Brand CI guidelines, governance requirements and approval processes across market activity.
- Track brand compliance across promotions, social media and key media channels, escalating areas of concern where necessary.
- Coordinate menu briefs, menu updates and promotional calendar activity, ensuring market adaptations, approvals and key dates remain on track.
- Maintain project trackers, status reports, action logs and meeting schedules across key marketing workstreams.
- Facilitate regular status updates and reporting across planning, compliance, actions, risks and execution to maintain accountability across teams.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications or a related field.
- 3+ years’ experience in project management, account management, marketing operations or brand coordination.
- Experience managing other markets, particularly African countries, in a project management capacity.
- Experience in new market entry and the implementation of governance and processes.
- Proven experience working with multiple stakeholders across regions or markets.
- Strong planning, coordination and delivery skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and drive work through to completion.
- Confident communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to facilitate discussions, drive actions and hold stakeholders accountable.
- Experience within agency, FMCG, retail or agency account management is advantageous, as is exposure to brand governance, compliance, campaign management or digital/social media workflows.
