Marketing Manager

OpsFi is a growing, boutique accounting and advisory firm servicing high growth clients in the tech industry and our offices are based in Bree Street, Cape Town. 

We have specific openings for fully remote roles (within South Africa) and roles based in Cape Town to build a greater hybrid office presence (where we will expect a certain amount of office days per month for the Cape Town team).

Our offshore client is an InsurTech firm based in California in the United States leveraging modern software platforms, AI risk modelling, and state-of-the-art hardware engineering to provide next-generation insurance solutions for B2C and B2B customers in the United States.  

We are looking to recruit a Marketing Manager to join their offshore division, that will work exclusively for their Marketing team (i.e. fully integrated into their team and workflows). You would work remotely from South Africa with a combination of SA & US-based teams. This is an exciting opportunity to grow experience in international markets and work alongside a dynamic team who are building out exciting products in the insurance and tech space.

We are growing the structure in South Africa, and the titles will evolve as the structure takes shape, so it is a great time to join the team. This opportunity would suit an individual who is looking to progress their career and develop intuition.
