YOUR OPPORTUNITY Germany is one of our most important markets, and one of our biggest content opportunities. We're looking for a Senior Content Marketing Manager who writes and thinks in German as naturally as they think in strategy: someone who can build a high-quality content engine for the German market, adapt Leapsome's global narrative to resonate locally, and drive our editorial presence with skill and ambition. This role sits at the intersection of content excellence and regional ownership. You'll lead editorial work for the German market, shape how we show up in German-speaking audiences' feeds, inboxes, and search results, and collaborate closely with global teams to bring localized programs to life.

Create and adapt high-quality content across formats including articles, landing pages, email sequences, social copy, webinar scripts, product messaging — that authentically represents Leapsome in the German market. You're not just translating; you're writing for a specific audience, with cultural fluency and editorial judgment. - Build a scalable, data-informed content engine. Help define the strategy, cadence, and structure that allow us to grow content quality alongside volume, from top-of-funnel awareness to deep thought leadership. You'll develop the workflows, templates, and briefs that keep the machine running smoothly. - Own SEO and AEO for the German market. Lead initiatives to grow our organic presence in German-speaking markets, combining technical SEO best practices with an understanding of how AI and search are evolving.

Your English is strong enough for confident internal collaboration. - You're fluent in content strategy and SEO, and curious about how AI is reshaping content creation and discovery. You actively evolve your approach as the landscape changes. - You're analytical and creative in equal measure. You make decisions with data, but you also trust your editorial instincts and audience understanding to push your work further. - You're genuinely interested in how workplaces change. Working in HR tech means helping HR leaders navigate change and build fulfilled, engaged teams, and that's a topic you're excited to think, write, and learn about every day. - You're resilient, proactive, and adaptable.
