Marketing Associate

Description

This role is Cauridor’s marketing reference point in Senegal — the person who turns regional marketing strategy into real, local execution and gives the Regional Marketing Manager an on-the-ground presence they don’t have themselves.

Rather than setting strategy, this role owns local delivery: adapting campaigns to the Senegalese market, running events and field marketing locally, keeping the brand consistent in-market, and flagging what’s working (or not) back to the region. It exists because strategy designed centrally still needs someone who actually knows
Senegal — its language, culture, media, and market dynamics — to make it land.
