Senior Performance Marketer - Marketing (German speaking)

Overview

Imagine a world where every small business has the power to thrive. That’s the world we’re building at iwoca. Small businesses aren’t just statistics – they’re the heartbeat of our communities, the character of our high streets, and the engine of our economy. Since 2012, we’ve revolutionised how these businesses access finance, turning what was once a lengthy, frustrating process into something remarkable: funding that’s fast, flexible, and actually works for modern businesses. Our impact speaks for itself: we’ve provided billions in funding to more than 150,000 businesses across Europe, making us one of the continent’s leading fintech innovators. But we’re just getting started. Our mission? To empower one million businesses with the financial tools they deserve. We combine cutting‑edge technology and data science with genuine human understanding to make finance feel less like a barrier and more like a superpower. Whether it’s managing cash flow or seizing unexpected opportunities, we ensure businesses get the funds they need – often within minutes.

• Mentorship and close collaboration with other teams (SEO, CRM, Web, Design) to ensure a holistic marketing strategy.
• Main point of contact for the concept and briefing of new creatives.

• Excellent analytical skills and experience working with large datasets and visualization tools (e.g., Looker).
• Experience in planning and evaluating complex A/B tests.
• Ability to think strategically while remaining hands‑on in execution.
• Fluency in German is required.
