The Role
About Us

Step into the wild world of OneDayOnly – South Africa's OG daily deals hub. We're the pioneers of cool discounts, hitting you for just one day because, well, why overcomplicate things? We've got the big names, top suppliers, and a dash of our secret sauce to make you feel like a BIG DEAL. Not to brag, but we have over a million potential savvy shoppers getting our daily dose every 24 hours.

We're not fussy – if the price is right and the quality checks out, we're selling it. That's what makes us the go-to for both the smart buyer and the eager seller. Toss in the urgency of our deals, and boom, success happens quicker than you can blink. So, jump in, where FOMO meets killer deals, and let's turn every day into a retail party!

About You

You’re a data-driven deal-chaser with a knack for turning scrolls into clicks and clicks into conversions. Your happy place? Deep in the backend of a campaign, tweaking audiences and testing creatives like your life depends on it. You know your CPCs from your CTRs, your TikToks from your Meta ads - and you’ve probably already thought of five ways to make that one flash sale really pop. You move fast (like 24-hours-to-sell fast), and you love a good spreadsheet. Basically, you’re the kind of person who could sell socks to someone who didn’t know they needed socks, before lunch. If you are a candidate that is hungry for performance paid media mentorship and thrive on delivering an efficient, measurable, and credible product across our critical digital platforms, this job is for you!

    What We Do

    OneDayOnly is South Africa's original daily deals website. We were founded back in 2010 by Chris Oberhofer and Maurits Vermeulen, two friends who came up with an idea to do something that had not yet been done in the country: build a website where customers could get their hands on incredible brands at unbeatable discounts for a limited time. Since then, we've grown to become a force to be reckoned with in the landscape of e-commerce, set apart from the rest by our fun tone of voice and sense of humour - and, of course, our big deals. We partner with top brands and key suppliers to be able to offer products to over a million potential customers, through various channels including our daily mailer, social media accounts, email campaigns and, most recently, our mobile app - perfect for bagging big deals on the move! Of course, our website and app don't run themselves: we employ over 300 human beings to sell things, buy things, process things, repair things and work on our website and app. Not to mention pack things and deliver things. Why work for us? You'll have the unique opportunity to help a rapidly growing business get to the next level using cutting-edge technology like computers, printers, internet and electricity (even during loadshedding, woah!) But seriously, folks, you'll have the opportunity to mix and mingle with some incredibly talented people, all of whom are dedicated to driving our business forward in ways we might not have ever imagined. Our culture: We're dedicated and hard-working without falling into the trap of becoming too corporate - or boring. That said, we pride ourselves on four key principles here: growth, innovation, value and authenticity - not just amongst the individuals who work here, but as a collective - and for our customers. We foster an energetic and authentic business mentality, ensuring that if we get the basics right and have fun along the way, everything else - including sales and customers - will fall into place.
