Job description
From iiDENTIFii’s job post, as they wrote it.
ROLE PURPOSE
The Marketing Intern will work alongside the Head of Marketing to help turn iiDENTIFii's brand, content and campaign plans into day-to-day execution. This is a hands-on, learning-focused role for someone who wants real exposure to how a B2B marketing function runs inside a technically sophisticated, security-sensitive biometric identity business.
You will support delivery across content, social media, events, demand generation and reporting - gaining practical experience across the full marketing mix rather than sitting in a single lane. You will be given real work with real stakes, coached along the way, and expected to bring energy, curiosity and reliability to everything you take on.
Read the full description
The Marketing Intern helps keep the marketing engine moving: drafting and coordinating content, supporting campaigns and events, doing research, and keeping reporting and admin on track - freeing up the Head of Marketing to focus on strategy and stakeholder work.
WHAT YOU OWN
Content & Social Media Support
* Draft, format and schedule content across social media, the website and internal channels, aligned to brand guidelines and voice
* Support the content calendar: track deadlines, chase inputs from stakeholders, and flag gaps ahead of time
* Assist the Head of Marketing with building case studies, blog posts.
* Monitor social channels and flag engagement, mentions or issues that need a response
Campaign & Demand Generation Support
* Support the setup, execution and tracking of marketing campaigns across email, social and paid channels
* Set up campaigns and help maintain the CRM and marketing automation tool. Including but not limited to uploading lists, basic segmentation, reporting, copy and design editing.
* Pull together campaign performance data into clear, simple summaries for the Head of Marketing
Events & Ecosystem Support
* Assist with the planning and on-the-ground logistics of internal and external events, conferences and sponsorships
* Help prepare event collateral, stands, presentations and follow-up materials
* Support post-event admin: attendee lists, feedback collation and follow-up tracking
Market & Competitive Research
* Conduct research into competitors, industry trends and the digital identity landscape to support positioning work
* Pull together clear, well-organised summaries the Head of Marketing can use in planning and stakeholder conversations
Reporting & Marketing Operations Support
* Maintain and update marketing project calendars and project dashboards
* Support monthly reporting by pulling data together accurately and on time
* Keep shared drives, templates and asset libraries organised and up to date
AI-Augmented Ways of Working
* Use AI tools to support research, first drafts, content ideas and admin, under guidance from the Head of Marketing
* Build practical AI and prompt-writing skills as part of day-to-day work, with a focus on quality control and originality
Learning & Development
* Actively seek feedback and apply it quickly; treat every task as a chance to build a real marketing skillset
* Bring a proactive, ask-questions attitude - flag when something is unclear rather than guessing
* Take ownership of assigned tasks end-to-end, escalating early when something is off track
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Experience
* No formal marketing experience required; prior internship, part-time, society, or personal-project experience in marketing, content or social media is an advantage
* Some exposure to social media management, writing, design or events (through study, a side project or a previous role) is a plus
* Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities and limited structure
Skills
* Strong written communication skills and an eye for detail
* Organised, with the ability to juggle several small tasks and deadlines at once
* Comfortable with everyday digital tools (Microsoft Office or Google Workspace); familiarity with Canva, social scheduling tools or a CRM is a bonus, not a requirement
* Curious about AI tools and willing to use them, with guidance, to work faster and smarter
* A team player who is proactive, reliable and keen to learn
Education
* Recently completed, a qualification in Marketing, Advertising, Communications, Business or a related field
CULTURE AND BENEFITS
Why Join Us
iiDENTIFii is solving one of the most consequential technical problems in Africa's digital economy: how do you verify that someone is who they say they are, remotely, at scale, across infrastructure that is inconsistent and high stakes? Our biometric identity platform is trusted by some of the continent's most demanding institutions precisely because we have built something that works.
Benefits
* Direct mentorship from the Head of Marketing, with real exposure to brand, campaign, content and event work from day one
* Hands-on experience across the full marketing mix in a fast-moving B2B fintech environment, rather than a narrow, single-task internship
* A structured internship period with regular feedback, and the opportunity to build a genuine marketing portfolio
* Exposure to a technically excellent, mission-driven team at the frontier of biometric identity technology
* Cape Town-based
