About this role
Sporty Group is looking for an Affiliate Associate to manage SportyBet's influencer and creator network while building the brand's social media presence across platforms like X, Instagram, TikTok, and Telegram. You'll be the bridge between the company and its community of affiliates, creators, and tipsters—identifying new partnership opportunities, nurturing existing relationships, monitoring performance, and ensuring consistent, authentic brand representation in every interaction. The role demands someone who understands both social media mechanics and sports betting culture, with strong communication skills and the ability to juggle multiple channels and projects at once.
This is a contract position based in Century City, Cape Town, with core hours from 10am to 3pm and flexibility around that window. You'll need a solid grasp of social platforms, sports trends, and community dynamics, plus copywriting and content creation abilities. Experience in sports betting, gaming, or influencer management is a plus, as are basic design and video editing skills. The package includes competitive salary with quarterly performance bonuses, 20 days annual leave, referral and flash bonuses, and company retreats.
The role suits someone self-motivated and proactive who genuinely enjoys sports and digital community work—someone comfortable moving fast in a growing environment and equally happy collaborating across teams or working independently on community projects.
