About The Role
As a
Local Market Digital Specialist (Africa)
, you’ll drive the way we connect with local users to grow Binance’s active user base. Leveraging your growth digital marketing skill (Paid Ads, SEO, ASO, affiliates traffic, referrals, email marketing,...) you’ll identify opportunities for the local market in order to reach and activate new users.
Responsibilities
* Adapt global paid strategy to local reality — transcreate, never translate; own the market narrative for local campaigns, performance creative and the design briefs that deliver it.
* Provide local channel expertise and activation alongside global platforms.
* Monitor daily, weekly, and monthly performance and act on anomalies using AppsFlyer, Sensor Tower, and Similarweb; escalate what needs escalating.
* Drive local SEO with editorial and content teams, including on local search engines where relevant
* Support SEO activities such as link buildings \& content review, and grow visibility in AI\-generated answers (AEO/GEO) for local\-language queries.
* Feed local intelligence — competitor moves, cultural shifts, regulatory changes, local user behaviour — back to the global team so it shapes strategy, not just execution.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
