Head of Marketing
Hyde Johannesburg Rosebank
Date: 2 weeks ago
City: Dubai
Contract type: Full time

Company Description
Founded in 2008 by Serge Trigano and his sons Jérémie and Benjamin (co-founders of Club Med), Mama Shelter is a creator of living spaces and a daily director!
These are atypical places, where everyone feels at home, places born of a blend of influences, freedoms, sensations and emotions. Each Mama tells the story of the city in which it is located, and all influences blend together. We offer our guests a joyful atmosphere and exceptional service at an affordable price.
More than just rooms and restaurants, Mama Shelter is a dynamic, a vibe: they are true urban refuges, not only aesthetically pleasing and modern but also popular, welcoming and sexy.
Whatever your role, we're all here to make the customer experience as unforgettable as possible.
Our mission: to bring little moments of happiness to people.
Our growth has enabled us to offer our teams great career paths through internal development and international mobility, and it's not a question of diplomas or years of experience.
Mama Shelter is part of Ennismore, a creative hotel group rooted in cultures and destinations, with a global portfolio of brands. Ennismore is a joint venture with Accor, founded in 2021.
Our Commitment To Diversity And Inclusion
Mama is an inclusive company and our ambition is to recruit and promote diverse talent. Our advertisements are gender-neutral, so the masculine gender is used here to lighten the text.
Job Description
THE MISSION?
We’re looking for a creative, driven, and digitally savvy Head of Marketing to lead the brand's commercial storytelling, audience growth, and local impact. You’ll be the heartbeat of everything that shouts “Mama!”—from digital campaigns and influencer collaborations to partnerships, content creation, and in-house activations.
What You’ll Be Rockin’
Your mission, should you choose to accept it:
Brand & Strategy Leadership
MADE FOR YOU? ONLY IF…
KPIs? You know them. Crush them. But you do it with style—mixing creativity with smart strategy to make the numbers dance.
You Build Buzz-worthy Relationships
Whether it’s the media, influencers, artists, or local legends—you connect with the right people and turn collaborations into headlines.
You Create Moments People Remember
From rooftop parties to viral posts, you know how to make noise in all the right ways. You bring energy, excitement, and authenticity to everything you touch.
You’re a Data Whisperer
Behind the bold ideas is a brain that knows how to read the numbers. You track, analyze, and tweak until every campaign performs like a hit record.
You Lead With Vision
You inspire your team, push boundaries, and keep your finger on the pulse. Trends don’t surprise you—you set them.
You Speak The Language Of Cool
Copy, visuals, stories—your content doesn’t just sell, it connects. You make the brand feel personal, playful, and real.
Your Little Extras
We’re Sure You Know The Beat
1st verse: We set up a first telephone interview with our HR if your application moves to our rhythm.
Chorus: After the successful telephone interview, we will see you at Mama or online, be ready!
(chorus x2 depending on the position)
Last verse: Mama won’t leave you wondering; you will have an answer from us whatever the outcome.
This field is required.
Thank you for applying!
Good luck!
