Account Manager / Project Manager / Producer

Cape Town-based | Clients in the US and UK | Producing standout social-first video ads

If you’re tired of managing dull digital projects and want to work on bold, funny, and wildly original B2B video ads, this is your chance.

At Black Camel, we help US and UK tech brands escape the sea of bland marketing by producing sharp, clever, and high-impact video ads—the kind that actually gets noticed. Now, we need an Account Manager / Producer who can juggle clients, productions, and last-minute creative chaos without breaking a sweat.
What You’ll Do

• Manage client relationships – Be the trusted point of contact for US & UK tech brands, ensuring their campaigns stay on track.
• Oversee video ad production – From initial concept to final delivery, you’re keeping everything moving.
• Scout and secure locations – Whether it’s an office, a warehouse, or something more bizarre, you’ll make it happen.
• Source and organize props – If we need a rubber chicken, a vintage typewriter, or a boardroom that screams ‘unhinged genius,’ you’ll track it down.
• Coordinate with crew & talent – Work with DOPs, directors, editors, make-up artists, wardrobe stylists, and more to bring productions to life.
• Handle production budgets & logistics – Making sure every shoot runs smoothly, on time, and within budget.
• Problem-solve on the fly – If the perfect location suddenly falls through or a key prop goes missing, you’ve already got a Plan B.
• Keep creative teams aligned – Bridge the gap between our ambitious ideas and the real-world execution.

Why Black Camel

• Exciting work – No boring corporate fluff, just bold, funny, high-impact video ads.
• Hands-on production experience – You’ll be deeply involved in bringing creative ideas to life.
• Global clients, Cape Town base – Work on high-level campaigns without leaving South Africa.
• Creative freedom – We take risks, break the rules, and make ads that actually get remembered.

• You are based in Cape Town
• 2+ years in an agency environment (Account Management, Project Management, or Production).
• Flawless client communication skills – Managing expectations, keeping clients engaged, and making them feel like they’re in safe hands.
• Meticulous organisation and multitasking – Juggling multiple shoots, clients, and moving parts without losing your mind.
• Production know-how would be a BIG bonus, e.g. scouted locations, sourced props, and coordinated with directors, DOPs, make-up artists, and more.
• Cool under pressure – Tight deadlines? Last-minute changes? You stay calm and find solutions.
• Lateral thinker – You don’t just solve problems; you see them before they happen.
• A sharp sense of humour – We make funny ads, and working here should be fun, too.

If you’re ready to step into a fast-paced, creatively charged environment, apply now. We need someone who can hit the ground running—and maybe run a little faster when a llama goes missing on set.
