Job description

CLEVER°FRANKE is an enthusiastic, multi-disciplinary team of 40+ people with 15 different nationalities from across the world and we use English as a primary language to communicate and collaborate. We are interaction designers, visual designers, developers, project managers, data analysts and others. All with a passion for what we do. We are curious about the world around us and apply the same curiosity to our work and projects.

We have been growing and we are looking for a PR & Communications Executive who can help maintain our public visibility and support our communications.

Whether it’s a media pitch, an award entry, a social post, or a website case study, you know how to adapt the message for the audience and channel without losing what makes it compelling. You’re a natural coordinator who enjoys connecting the dots between internal teams and external PR and communications partners. You’re confident taking ownership, working independently when needed, and collaborating closely when the best ideas come from working together. You thrive when there’s a lot happening at once, keeping projects moving while making sure every detail lands well and on time. You have a talent for finding the story behind the work and turning it into content people want to read, share, and remember.

In this role, you'll be the bridge between Marketing and our Commercial efforts. You are solution-focused, able to see the bigger picture while zooming into the details when needed. You’re also comfortable with not knowing everything up-front, asking the right questions to avoid assumptions. You are able to connect and build bridges between different disciplines and stakeholders where needed.

What you bring

For this role as a PR & Communications Executive, we'd be specially excited if:

• You bring 3+ years of relevant experience in PR, communications, marketing, or a related field.
• You are comfortable managing social media for companies and senior management, ideally within a B2B environment.
• You are a creative storyteller who can turn complex ideas into contentthat grabs attention and resonates across audiences and channels.
• You have excellent English communication skills. Dutch is a plus.
• You know how to work with AI tools to create effective content and support marketing activities.
• You have an affinity with the design industry and a solid understanding of B2B business.
• You have experience with HubSpot, CMS, or other similar platforms.
• You are familiar with Figma and light video editing tools, or are keen to learn how to use them.
• You are highly organised, manage your time effectively, and can deliver strong work under pressure.
• You enjoy creating compelling content and adapting it for different audiences and channels.
• You are resourceful and open to learn new skills.

We’ll give you

• Full-time/part-time role (32-40 hours per week);
• A competitive salary, based on your background and experience;
• Support from a friendly, passionate, down-to-earth team;
• A personal development budget of 1000 euro per year for trainings tailored to your personal and professional growth;
• A personal wellbeing budget of 250 euros per year (purchase a bike, fitness or yoga membership);
• Two extra holidays per calendar year, because we all have events in our life that we need time for (weddings, celebrating religious or cultural events);
• Hybrid working from our studio or home – (at least 2 days per week in the studio);
• A healthy, abundant lunch every day in the studio;
• Paid train expenses from your home to the studio;
• A MacBook and all the peripherals you need;
• Inspiring team events; such as our annual team prototyping day, team trainings, sport events and conference visits.

We’ll support you

We find it important that you grow and challenge yourself and we want to ensure that you are supported in this. That’s why we offer:

• Training courses: tailored to your experience level and needs, personal development planning, and feedback sessions.
• Our People & Culture Manager and your Lead will help you with your professional and personal development.
• CLEVER°FRANKE Development week: about 3 times a year, we organize a week where the entire studio fully focuses on personal and professional growth, outside of client projects.
• CLEVER°FRANKE Prototype Day: a day full of creativity, innovation, learning, and working with colleagues in a hands-on environment.

You’re welcome at CLEVER°FRANKE regardless of your appearance, identity or background. It’s not a place you have to ‘fit in’ but somewhere everyone can feel themselves and be their best to do their best.
