More than 40,000 students and 1,000 partner companies from logistics, retail and hospitality in all major German cities share our belief that good work is no accident. Good work starts here.

To continue our strategic development work, we are looking for an accomplished leader who defines sustainable market success through efficiency, strategic sharpness and creative excellence - and who proves that strong impact does not depend on the size of the budget.

The challenge: Maximum impact through creative drive, hands-on mentality and structural team building

In this key position, you will drive Zenjob's growth not by managing expansive media budgets or external agency networks. Creative drive and a hands-on mentality are your primary levers: with strategic and creative ideas, data-driven optimisations and operational contribution, you create substantial value - in both the B2C and B2B segments.

This is a demanding design challenge: our marketing team has been restructured, and Zenjob is in a strategic restructuring phase. We are looking for an experienced leader who gives the team direction and structure, translates the company strategy into a clear vision for Zenjob and breaks it down into concrete annual and quarterly goals. As the interface to the Executive Team and investors, you combine strategic foresight with operational execution strength.

Your team: Brand, CRM and Performance Marketing, and the B2B Marketing Lead report to you. Our Creative Studio reports directly to the Brand Lead and provides the visual power for your strategy. To back up your decisions with data, you work closely with dedicated experts in Analytics and Research, who are embedded as strategic partners in the respective expert departments of our organisation.

• Strategic development & foundation: You are responsible for the holistic marketing strategy and systematically take the existing build-up and foundational work into the next growth phase.

• Process & team building: You shape the newly assembled team, establish modern ways of working, efficient workflows and clear structures.

• Voice of the brand & customers: You represent marketing in central, cross-functional planning and steering meetings. As a strong voice at the table, you consistently influence strategic company decisions from the perspective of the customer and the brand.

• Efficient growth strategy: Design and implementation of smart, budget-friendly marketing measures that convince through the strength of ideas rather than high media investment.

• Close collaboration with the management: Direct reporting line to the COO to ensure seamless alignment of marketing goals with Zenjob's overall operational and commercial vision.

• Visionary brand thinking: You recognise the potential of a brand that is not yet finished and enjoy turning it into something distinctive. You understand our particular target group and see the brand as the core that gives the company direction and inspires customers and employees alike.

• Long-standing leadership experience: You are an established leadership personality who has demonstrably built teams, created structures and successfully coached employees through transformation phases.

• Full-funnel expertise: In-depth, proven understanding of the synergistic interplay between brand, CRM, performance marketing and B2B marketing.

• Resilience and strategic foresight: Proven experience in structural build-up work. You act with the necessary patience, composure and strategic persistence even when defining new processes.

• Multidimensional perspective: You are familiar with the dynamics of the startup sector, but have equally proven your skills in established, structurally more mature corporate environments. You master the balance between agility and corporate professionalism.

• Resource-oriented approach: You rely on empowering internal talent, smart ideas and a strong network within the company rather than external service providers.
