Group Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)

Group Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) -POS26181

Base: Johannesburg

Salary: MR (Will be discussed)  

 

We are seeking a high-impact Group Chief Marketing Officer to own the end-to-end marketing strategy and execution across a diverse portfolio of properties. This is a heavyweight commercial and operational role, anchored at a massive flagship site where scale, complexity, and pace demand a leader who is both a strategist and a visible, hands-on operator.

This is not a "head-office-only" executive position. It is a digitally driven, live-environment role for a leader who can set a national vision while remaining deeply embedded in the day-to-day realities of a high-volume business.

 

Required Experience:

• Executive-level leadership with group or multi-brand responsibility.
• A proven track record in high-volume, experience-led revenue environments.
• Deep expertise in digital transformation and performance-led customer acquisition.
• Experience driving revenue in highly competitive, consumer-driven markets.
• Commercially Sharp: You understand the numbers as well as the creative.
• Operationally Grounded: You prefer being "in the business" over sitting in a silo.
• Decisive: You are comfortable making real-time decisions in a fluid environment.
• Non-Hierarchical: You value agility and spontaneity over rigid, process-heavy corporate structures.

 

Core Focus Areas

• Group Strategy & Governance: Define the group-wide marketing vision and performance metrics, ensuring brand consistency while allowing for local market nuance across multiple regions.
• Flagship Execution: Personally lead the marketing execution at the group's primary site, driving high-impact campaigns and using the environment as a "test bed" for broader initiatives.
• Digital & Performance Marketing: Own the digital strategy, demand generation, pricing intelligence, and conversion optimization to compete effectively in global markets.
• Operational Integration: Work shoulder-to-shoulder with site-level leadership to adapt priorities rapidly in response to live operational data and guest behaviour.
• Stakeholder Influence: Represent the group with energy and credibility, engaging with international partners and driving growth initiatives alongside the CEO.

 

Why This Role?

This is a rare opportunity to lead a bold, creative brand strategy that has a direct, measurable impact on commercial success. If you are a CMO who balances strategy with a bias for action, this is your next challenge.
