Location: Must live in South Africa, but fully remote

Overview:

An extraordinary opportunity has become available for an ambitious AI Marketing Operator to join a premier 35-year-old European industry leader as they transform into an AI-first data powerhouse. Built on three decades of stability, excellence, and deep expertise, the business offers the rare sweet spot of established reliability paired with a cutting-edge startup spirit. Candidates will step into an elite, highly agile culture that values high autonomy, rapid execution, and bold innovation over bureaucracy.

In this pivotal role, the operator will serve as the engine of the marketing ecosystem—building hyper-automated content workflows and turning high-level leadership ideas into streamlined, automated realities. For a technical operator who thrives on shipping real systems, loves automating complex processes using top-tier AI and integration tools, and wants to work in a collaborative environment where high-impact work is immediately recognized, this is an ideal fit.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Plan, execute, and scale end-to-end automated marketing workflows across YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and X.
• Manage and optimize distribution pipelines to seamlessly transform raw inputs from Notion and Dropbox into structured content schedules.
• Build, maintain, and monitor automated integrations leveraging GoHighLevel CRM, N8N, Make, Zapier, APIs, and modern LLMs.
• Collaborate directly with executive leadership to balance high-volume ideas with practical pipeline control, prioritization, and execution.
• Critically evaluate, test, and refine AI-generated outputs, applying human discernment to maintain brand standards and asset quality.
• Monitor system performance, identify operational bottlenecks, and implement ongoing workflow improvements.
• Stay ahead of emerging AI tools, platform capabilities, and automation trends to drive continuous operational innovation.
• Provide strategic technical recommendations based on workflow performance metrics and system efficiency.

Requirements:

• Proven experience as an AI Operator, Automation Specialist, or Technical Marketing Systems Engineer.
• Strong hands-on experience with automation and CRM tools such as GoHighLevel, N8N, Make, Zapier, Notion, and Dropbox.
• Demonstrated proficiency with LLMs and integrating AI APIs into practical marketing and content workflows.
• Technical and operational focus applied to marketing, rather than a traditional copy/design-only marketing background.
• Strong critical thinking and analytical skills with the ability to evaluate AI output quality accurately.
• Exceptional self-management, proactive problem-solving abilities, and an execution-first mindset ("ship first").
• Exposure to paid media, performance marketing, or creative direction is advantageous.
