Marketing Manager At NAYA by Africa


Job Description/Requirements

In this ever-changing world where consumers are spoilt for choice when it comes to product selection for the bath and body care needs, what I am striving for, in growing the NAYA by Africa brand, is to build a very customer-centered brand. One whose products are directly aligned with the needs of the customers we serve.   Where the customer connects with the brand and their choice of bath and body care products feel like it we made it personally that for them.



One of my favorite things to do is to stand in the corner of our retail shop and watch how customers interact with our products, the questions they ask, the feedback they give, the unique ways they use the products, the suggestions they have for us, and the new products they want us to make. The scents they love, and others that their kids and partners prefer. How one person enjoys the whole process of rubbing shea butter in their palms till it’s soft and warm before gently massaging into every corner of their skin, as they soak in the sweet-fresh-orange and mint scents of our Orange and Mint Shea Fusion while another prefers plain old coconut oil with that hint of natural tropical fresh coconut scent.

The best part of all of this for me is we get to learn from customers and create products we use every day. As an African, building an African Beauty brand using African ingredients, I feel a sense of responsibility to make our shea butter, black soap, baobab oil, neem oil, and coconut oil based products mainstream. So that when we need bath, body, haircare, and skincare products and we walk into a retail shop or shop online, your choices are fun, smell good, come in a variety of scents, have various product options, premium quality and feel like it was made just for you.

So long story short, I need your help, if you enjoy customer-focused product research and analysis, strategy development, marketing communication, brand storytelling, marketing analytics, and developing exciting creative content that educates and engages both online and offline audiences. You need to be very hands-on and be ready to delve deep into the personal care industry. A big plus if you are tech-savvy and able to understand and use modern marketing tools and software.

You will conduct product, customer and beauty industry research, lead marketing campaigns, evaluate marketing performance metrics, and manage the development and creation of customer-focused ads and communications tools that will drive new customer engagement, learning, brand awareness and loyalty.

To succeed in this role, you will need to be creative, a great writer, love branding, learning, and research.
