What You'll Do

As our Content Manager, you'll own the content experience across our gaming

platforms. You'll be responsible for ensuring that the right games are featured, in the

right way, for the right reasons – never just because "it feels right," but because the data

and analysis back it up.

Key Responsibilities:

Content Analysis & Optimization

• Conduct deep-dive analysis into game features – including minimum and

maximum bet sizes, maximum exposure, volatility, and player engagement

metrics.

• Understand each game from every angle (a full 360-degree view) and make

educated decisions about where and how to feature them.

competitive content to players.

Competitor Benchmarking & Gap Analysis

• Conduct comprehensive benchmarking against competitor offerings – seeing

exactly where we're ahead and where we're behind.

fix these gaps thoughtfully and strategically.

• Provide clear, actionable insights on how to close gaps and capitalize on

strengths – always with a focus on data and outcomes.

Retail Mindset & Customer-Centric Thinking

• Apply a retail mindset to our content – just as in an online store where there

might be 100 different bread brands and variations, you'll ensure we only feature

the 5 that drive 80% of sales.

• Understand the why behind each product's performance – and ensure our

featured games lineup reflects what resonates most with players.

• Curate content in a way that puts players first and drives performance.

Ownership & Independent Execution

• Take full ownership of our game positioning and product content – you'll be the

go-to person for everything related to in-game and platform content.

• Work independently, setting priorities and executing based on clear data-driven

analysis.

• Collaborate with the wider team (product, marketing, and 3rd-party partners) to

bring your strategies to life – but you'll be the one steering the content ship.

What We're Looking For

Must-Have Skills & Experience:

• 3+ years in a content management, merchandising, or product-focused role –

experience in online gaming OR online retail is a plus

• Deep understanding of product performance analytics, data-driven decision

making, and how to interpret key metrics.

• Proven ability to analyze product features and performance – and then act

decisively.

• Retail merchandising mindset – you understand how to prioritize content for

maximum impact and revenue.

• Highly analytical, organized, and detail-oriented.
• Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and deliver results.

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience in the online gaming or betting industry.
• Background in competitive analysis or benchmarking studies.
• Familiarity with content management systems (CMS) and site merchandising.

Why Join Apollo Gaming?

Competitive Compensation: We'll pay the right package for the right person – we

strategies – we'll trust you to make the best calls.

South Africa – and we're looking for driven people to help us get even better.

Are you ready to find that 1% edge that sets us apart?

Apply today and show us how you can help make Apollo Gaming's product lineup the

Join our team as a Content Manager

Can you whip up content so engaging it stops thumbs mid-scroll? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment? If you've got the creative chops, strategic smarts, and the ability to keep calm when the client suddenly wants to "make it sexy," we've got the perfect gig for you.

At Lumico, we're on a mission to create content that builds brands (no more "live, laugh, love" nonsense, promise). We need someone with creativity, strategy, and just the right amount of caffeine addiction to join our team.

Oh, and before you ask—yes, this is a full-time, in-office role. That's right, you'll need to actually leave the house, wear something other than pyjamas, and remember what it's like to talk to humans face-to-face. But don't worry, we've got good coffee, great banter, and a team that makes the commute totally worth it.

What You'll Be Doing (Besides Saving the Day):

Craft content strategies so brilliant even your gran will understand them.

Pitch ideas to clients that'll make them say, "Why didn't we think of that?"

Publish content in the right places, at the exact right moment

Write copy so good it makes grammar nerds shed a tear of joy.

Keep everything on-brand, on-message, and not cringe-worthy.

Keep an eagle eye on social channels to maintain the good vibes and nip any drama in the bud.

Analyse data and tell us what worked (and what flopped harder than that one dodgy Pinterest recipe you tried).

You'll smash it if you:

Are equal parts creative genius and organisational wizard.

Can juggle deadlines, tea mugs, and random client requests without breaking a sweat.

Stay up-to-date on trends because you are the algorithm.

Aren't afraid to tell us when an idea is rubbish (but do it nicely—we're sensitive).

Have a team-player mindset but can crack on independently when needed—like a lone wolf with Wi-Fi.

Think you've got what it takes? Prove it. Bring your A-game, sharp wit, and brilliant ideas.

Pop a mail to with your CV and best work.

P.S. If you don't know the difference between "your" and "you're," this probably isn't for you. Just saying.
