Overview
Head of Marketing Jobs in South Africa at Athos
Title: Head of Marketing
Company: Athos
Location: South Africa
We’re hiring our first Head of Marketing at Athos AI.
This is one of the most important hires we’ll make this year.
About Athos
Athos is building AI-powered sales training for the insurance industry. Our platform uses AI role-play, call analysis, coaching, and personalized training to help insurance agents improve performance and close more business.
We’re an early-stage startup, but we’re well beyond the idea stage.
Over the last six months, we’ve built a product that customers genuinely love. We’re working with agencies across the U.S., have strong product-market fit within our niche, and are seeing incredible traction. Now it’s time to scale.
Our mission is ambitious: help grow Athos to 10,000+ agents on the platform.
If you love joining companies early, owning a function from the ground up, and helping build a category-defining business, this is that opportunity.
About the role
We’re looking for someone to build our marketing engine from scratch.
You’ll work directly with me and own initiatives across:
- Paid acquisition (Meta, Google, YouTube, LinkedIn)
- Organic content and brand building
- Creative strategy and ad production
- Landing pages and conversion optimization
- Website messaging
- Product launches
- Customer case studies
- Marketing analytics and attribution
- AI-powered content creation and workflows
This is a hands-on role. Initially, you’ll execute much of the work yourself while building the systems, processes, and eventually the team that scales our marketing function.
We’re looking for someone who:
- Has experience running paid media campaigns that generate real pipeline
- Can write compelling copy and develop creative that converts
- Understands B2B SaaS marketing and growth
- Is highly analytical and obsessed with performance
- Uses AI extensively to work faster and produce exceptional work
- Thrives in fast-moving startups
- Takes extreme ownership and doesn’t wait to be told what to do
You’ll report directly to me and play a major role in shaping the future of the company.
Location: Remote (South Africa preferred)
If you’re looking for a comfortable corporate marketing job, this probably isn’t it.
If you’re excited by the idea of joining a startup with real traction, building the marketing function from day one, and helping turn an already-loved product into an industry leader, I’d love to talk.
If this sounds like you (or someone you know), send me:
- Your LinkedIn
- Your resume
- Examples of campaigns or projects you’re most proud of
- A short note on why you think you’d be a great fit
Let’s build something special!
