Location: South Africa, Remote

Hours: UK Hours, Full-time, Freelance

The Company And Role

We are a high-performing team of marketers, creatives, strategists, and implementers behind Marisa Peer and Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) – a global personal development and therapy brand serving millions worldwide.

We are a global wellness organisation built on compassion, transformation, and the belief that everyone deserves to live a happier, healthier life. We train and certify therapists and coaches in the RTT methodology, and provide courses and audios to help people overcome issues and live a better life.

We’re looking for an exceptional Digital Marketing Project Manager to bring structure, predictability, and momentum to our marketing and sales operations. You’ll work directly under the CMO and be responsible for translating high-level business goals into clear weekly sprints, managing workloads across marketing, funnel, creative, and implementation teams, and protecting priorities from ad-hoc disruption.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments but knows how to create order, maintain boundaries, and champion the right priorities – even in the face of competing demands.

Summary

You will manage the full workflow of marketing and sales projects- including funnel builds, campaign launches, automation tasks, creative production, and technical fixes. You’ll coordinate with cross-functional specialists and department leads, ensure every team member is focused on the right tasks, and enforce the weekly sprint with confidence and clarity.

The ideal candidate understands digital project scoping well enough to estimate complexity, anticipate bottlenecks, and prioritise intelligently. You will be responsible for giving visibility to leadership, keeping the team aligned, and preventing ad-hoc requests from derailing progress.

At your core: you are calm, organised, assertive, and unshakeable.
