Werkie is recruiting an Intermediate Social Media Manager to join a dynamic and fast-paced marketing and advertising agency on a permanent, full-time basis in Pretoria East, Gauteng. This role is ideal for a skilled social media professional with strong execution ability who enjoys managing multiple client accounts and delivering measurable results across digital platforms.
This opportunity suits someone who is operationally strong, detail-focused, and confident working directly within social media tools and platforms rather than only at a strategic level.

The employer is a creative marketing agency working with multiple brands across diverse industries. The agency is known for its collaborative culture, high execution standards, and emphasis on delivering consistent, high-quality social media performance in a deadline-driven environment.
About the Role
The Intermediate Social Media Manager will be responsible for the day-to-day execution, publishing, optimisation, and performance tracking of social media content across multiple client accounts. This is a hands-on role requiring strong platform knowledge, excellent organisation, and the ability to manage workload without compromising quality.
The role focuses on accurate execution, scheduling, coordination, and reporting, ensuring content aligns with brand tone, objectives, and platform best practices.

Community Management
Where required, the Social Media Manager will monitor comments and direct messages, engaging with audiences or escalating queries according to established brand guidelines.
