Head of Marketing (Hospitality) – R1M-R1.2M, Fully Remote, Senior Role

The Head of Marketing (Hospitality) role offers a comprehensive salary of R1 million to R1.2 million, forming part of a full cost-to-company package. This is a permanent, senior-level opportunity within a dynamic management company overseeing multiple well-known restaurant brands. The position is uniquely fully remote, providing significant workplace flexibility for experienced marketing professionals keen to make a high-level impact.

This role requires a marketing or business degree with at least five years’ senior marketing experience in the food, hospitality or fast-moving consumer sectors. In addition, proven ability to design and manage successful campaigns across various brands and outlets will be highly valued. Candidates should also demonstrate advanced digital expertise, strong stakeholder engagement, budget oversight skills and the capacity to work independently.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

As Head of Marketing, your core goal is to drive growth. You’ll design and deliver high-performing marketing strategies, aiming to boost customer acquisition, brand awareness and retention across all restaurant outlets managed by the company. Your days will often involve close collaboration with operational teams to plan new restaurant launches, menu introductions and promotional events. Daily activities range from campaign planning and performance analytics, to ensuring consistent messaging and brand representation across touchpoints. You’ll manage both internal and external marketing teams, oversee budgets, and continuously analyse return on investment to optimise spend and outcomes.

Pros

Perhaps the biggest drawcard is the competitive salary and cost-to-company structure, making this one of the most rewarding senior roles today. In addition, remote work offers unmatched flexibility for work-life balance, with trust placed on your seniority and independence. The opportunity to shape marketing strategy at a group level—and directly influence the public’s perception of well-known restaurants—positions this as an excellent step for accomplished marketers seeking real impact and autonomy.

Cons

However, those who thrive on constant in-person team interaction may find the remote setting challenging. The wide scope, multiple brands and need for consistently high standards also require strict self-motivation, resilience and the ability to juggle numerous priorities.

Verdict

For experienced marketing leaders seeking excellent pay, autonomy, and the challenge of multi-brand hospitality management, this position stands out as a top-tier opportunity. If your background matches the senior requirements, this could very well be your next big move.
