Frequently Asked Questions

No. The Level 11 package is 'all-inclusive', meaning you can restructure the flexible portion (after pension and medical aid contributions) to suit your personal needs, such as a motor vehicle allowance or a 13th cheque.
For an Events Management role at Level 11, you may be asked to draft a comprehensive event project plan, develop a marketing strategy for a departmental launch, or manage a simulated budget and resource allocation scenario.
The requirement specifies 5 years in a 'related field', with at least 3 years at a Junior Management/Assistant Director level. While broad communication experience is valued, significant exposure to large-scale event coordination and marketing is essential for this Deputy Director role.
