Title: Paid Search Specialist (Paternity Cover) Fixed-term contract: June – October 2026

Company: SparkForce

Location: South Africa

Fixed-term contract: June – October 2026

Are you ready to take paid search marketing to the next level? At SparkForce, we’re not just looking for someone to run campaigns; we need a specialist who thrives on cracking challenges, turning data into action, and collaborating with clients to deliver results that actually matter. If you’re passionate about B2B marketing, based in South Africa, and want to make a real impact from your own setup, we want to hear from you.

Here’s what you’ll be doing:

✨ Plan, execute, and optimize paid ads across search platforms

✨ Dive into campaign data, uncover insights, and make recommendations that drive growth

✨ Work alongside your growth lead to crush customer targets

✨ Build strong relationships with clients while gaining hands-on collaboration experience

✨ Test, tweak, and iterate campaigns to deliver even better results

You’re the ideal candidate if you have:

🔹 Education in marketing, communications, or a related field

🔹 2–3 years of experience in B2B sales or marketing (bonus points if you’re a Google Ads Editor pro!)

🔹 A proactive, roll-up-your-sleeves attitude

🔹 Solid communication and teamwork skills

🔹 A growth mindset and a love for learning and experimenting

About us:

We’ve been around the block – building strategies, running campaigns, and setting KPIs – and now we want to help more companies achieve the same things. Our clients range from complex IoT and cybersecurity solutions to SaaS companies with millions of users worldwide, to brands that run ads during the Super Bowl. We like to do things differently, test and optimize, and never set the same strategy twice. There’s never a dull moment.

At SparkForce, what you see is what you get. We work hard but don’t take ourselves too seriously, and we make time for a good laugh. There’s a flat structure, and we keep things lighthearted and collaborative. You’re always welcome to bring new ideas to the table. Although we run fast, we respect that work isn’t everything and encourage you to find a balance that works for you.

The details:

This is a full-time, fixed-term contract to cover a paternity leave from June through October 2026. It’s a brilliant opportunity to dive deep into B2B paid search, contribute from day one, and leave your mark on live client accounts.
