Who we are
Edison Stone is a brand house which develops and distributes top brands and products for the kitchen & homeware market in South Africa.
Based in Cape Town, we focus on the wholesale and distribution of industry-leading kitchen and homeware brands. In addition, we curate a quality own-brand range, which is rapidly becoming known as a great value-for-money brand with retailers and consumers alike.
We are a team whose real power resides in our values and relationship-based culture. We are drawn together by our shared passion for doing things well and doing things right, and by our love of cooking and everything kitchen. Although we unite over how we work together, each of us brings something different to the team and we celebrate our diversity.
Who we're looking for
We're looking for a full-time Marketer with the ability to set marketing plans for each of our brands, who is able to prioritise and execute across multiple marketing channels, work with retailers and various role players and who is always on the lookout for new opportunities. If you're looking for a fast-paced, dynamic role where you'll have the opportunity to work both independently and within a small, close-knit team then this may be the role for you.

You can multitask and track details with a clear focus on priorities. You are excited to work in a fast-paced, sometimes unstructured environment, confident to pave the way ahead and make decisions without needing hand holding. You have a love for product and B2B marketing and want to see all our brands reach their full potential, under your watchful eye.
