Job description

Who is Understory?

Understory is a vertical-focused software platform built for experience businesses – from kayaking tours to cooking classes. Our operating system helps creators manage operations, grow bookings, accept payments, and run their business with clarity and less stress.

We move fast, iterate quickly, and expect everyone to bring proactive solutions every day. You'll learn faster here than almost anywhere else because the challenges are real and the pace is high. This isn't about clocking in and out – the right candidate will get a lot of trust and ownership, and it's all about building something that matters to creators around the world.

We recently raised a €12M Series A and are scaling fast. With customers in 10+ countries and a growing presence internationally, our focus is global, our ambition is high, and our team is fully committed to being the go-to platform for experience creators worldwide.

In keeping with this momentum, we're growing Marketing Operations in Aarhus, the team that runs the marketing products our customers use to grow their business.

The team

Marketing Operations is part of our Product organization and runs our marketing products for customers: Meta Ads, Google Ads, websites and reviews, with more on the way. Some are fully automated, some run on their own with people overseeing them, and some have a person in the loop at key steps. The team is AI-native: agents and in-house tools do much of the production and optimization, and people steer, check and improve the work. Next, we're becoming AI-led: the tools take on more of the production, and people spend more of their time on judgment and quality. You'll learn that way of working from day one. The team is three people today and growing.

About the role

This is an entry-level role for someone early in their career, for example fresh out of university or just getting started. You don't need prior marketing experience. You need to be sharp, structured and ready to learn fast.

As a Marketing Associate you help deliver our marketing products to customers, reliably and to a high standard. You work with templates, SOPs and a shared task queue, and our AI tools and agents do much of the production. You steer, check and finish the work so campaigns go live on time and with consistent quality. We train you in the tools and workflows, and you help improve them as part of a team that relies on each other.

What you'll do

• Create and quality-check ad assets using our templates, AI tools and standards
• Pick up customer requests from the team's shared queue and see them through to launch
• Schedule approved campaigns to go live on the agreed date and handle customer revisions quickly
• Support weekly performance reviews for customers using our standard method
• Work closely with your team and Customer Success
• Flag what slows you down or causes rework, so the team and Product can fix it
  

What success looks like

In your first three months, you will:

• Learn our templates, tools and workflows inside out
• Deliver ads with minimal rework
• Handle customer requests reliably and on time
• Keep your task status accurate so the team can always trust it
• Take customer requests from brief to live campaign independently by month three

We think you'll thrive if…

• You're low ego, high agency and kind: you take initiative, make your colleagues' work easier, take feedback well and ask for help when you need it
• You like structure: clear processes and deadlines help you do your best work
• You care about your work: you finish what you start, and when something is at risk of slipping, you spot it early, say so and help fix it
• You notice details others miss and take pride in work you'd be happy to put your name on
• You're curious and eager to learn new tools, including AI tools
• You have full professional proficiency in English

It's a plus if you…

• Have experience with Canva or Figma
• Are familiar with HubSpot or other marketing tools
• Have a basic understanding of paid advertising
• Have completed or are pursuing studies in a relevant field
• Have had professional or academic exposure to marketing or operations
• Speak Spanish or Italian with full professional proficiency

If you recognize yourself in most of this, but not all, we would still like to hear from you. We care most about how you think and how you work with people.

What it's like to work at Understory

We are product-minded, mission-driven and serious about quality, in the product, the strategy and how we work together. We think long-term and keep evolving, as individuals and as a company. There is room to grow here, and the chance to help shape something category-defining.
