Описание:

We are VERBI Software GmbH, the family-owned company founded in 2001 behind MAXQDA, the number one software for qualitative and mixed-methods data analysis. Alongside MAXQDA, we continuously develop our cloud and AI technologies, including our new product MAXQDA Tailwind. Our goal is to provide researchers, universities, and businesses with innovative and intuitive tools to achieve great things with their projects.

Задачи:

• Build and further develop new lead channels, and test and scale new advertising formats.
• Independently manage and optimize our paid advertising campaigns on Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and Meta Ads, and provide ongoing reporting — including cross-channel budget management and monitoring CPL, CPA, and ROAS.
• Plan and technically implement landing pages in close collaboration with Content, Design, and Development, and continuously run A/B tests to optimize conversions.
• Build, maintain, and further develop the tracking setup (conversion tracking, attribution, tag management) in coordination with Web Analytics/Tech.
• Work closely with the Content team on campaign messaging, creatives, and ad copy, and continuously monitor new channels and platforms for relevant developments and concrete recommendations.

Требования:

Several years of professional experience (at least 3 years) in performance marketing, as well as hands-on experience with Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and Meta Ads. Proven experience building new lead channels and enthusiasm for discovering, testing, and further developing new channels. Good technical understanding of analytics and tracking (e.g., tag management, conversion tracking, attribution models). An analytical, data-driven approach and confidence interpreting common metrics (CPL, CPA, ROAS, CTR, etc.), as well as an understanding of the connection between performance marketing and content. Experience with marketing automation and CRM systems; German language skills at least at C1 level, as well as good spoken and written English. You do not need to match our job profile 100%. What matters more is that you are a good fit for our company and are keen to contribute your ideas and develop yourself.
