[Hiring] AI-First Marketing Operator @Storm Ideas

Role Description

This is an AI-first marketing role. Not a marketing role that “uses AI tools” — a role where the marketing engine itself is built from AI agents, reusable skills, shared context and automated workflows, and where you are the person who designs, runs and relentlessly improves that engine.

• The engine's job is authority and demand: a website that makes Storm's positioning unmissable, articles and SEO content that earn attention, an active LinkedIn presence for Storm and its senior leaders, research packs so our commercial team never walks into a room cold, and the creative assets that carry all of it.
• Craft matters as much as the AI. You need real writing and editing ability, an eye for design, and a marketer's instinct for story.
• The right person does not need to arrive as a fully formed senior marketing leader. We care much more about agency, judgement, systems thinking, technical mindedness, learning velocity and serious engagement with the work.
• The AI bar is real. We're not talking about using AI as a search box or an autocomplete.
• The person we're looking for treats AI as a capable pair of hands, delegates whole pieces of work, reviews what comes back with a sharp, critical eye, and keeps refining how they brief and direct it.

Qualifications

• Strong writing and editing ability, with a talent for turning complex or messy thinking into clear, useful material for senior audiences.
• An eye for design and visual storytelling.
• Some experience, strong project work or clear self-started evidence in marketing, editorial, content, communications or adjacent work.
• Genuine command of AI tools and a strong instinct for how fast the landscape is moving.
• Evidence of building AI-assisted workflows, prompt or skill libraries, knowledge bases or automations.
• Practical understanding of prompt and agent configuration, context design and lightweight technical systems.
• Judgement about tone, quality, accuracy and what should or should not be published.
• An interest in how marketing supports relationship-led sales.

Requirements

• Build and run Storm's marketing engine as an AI-first system.
• Own the source-of-truth context layer that makes AI output good.
• Turn senior thinking into public authority.
• Create and direct the creative assets that carry the story.
• Own the rebrand and website content.
• Own the article and SEO strategy.
• Run market and competitor research.
• Support outreach campaigns with contact research, campaign lists and outreach drafts.
• Build QA into every workflow.
• Evaluate and rebuild your own workflows continuously.
• Track what is working in commercial terms.

Benefits

• Up to ZAR 500,000 per year, on a full-time, permanent employment contract.
• Fully remote working from anywhere in South Africa.
• 33 Days Paid Leave and Benefits.
• High-end, fast computer and all the latest software, AI tools and productivity tools you will need.
