Job description

Marketing Manager (m/w/d), parental leave replacement, fixed-term for 12 months

The position is part of our picdrop team, a brand of saas.group.

picdrop is the platform for image review and image delivery. Photographers share their shoots, receive their clients' selections back, and deliver the final images. Teams at sports clubs, media agencies and brands use picdrop to manage large volumes of images, coordinate internally and with partners, and share them. In total, over 200,000 photographers, designers and teams work with picdrop.

What it's about

For a 12-month parental leave replacement, we are looking for reinforcement. You will keep our partner, affiliate and influencer programs running and expand them, generate B2B leads in the DACH region, and be responsible for our presence at the events where our clients are actually present. The role is broad in scope and from the first week you carry real responsibility: short decision-making paths, no lengthy (but good) onboarding, and the freedom to try new things.

What you will drive in the first 3 months

• You take over the partner, affiliate and influencer programs and make sure they run smoothly. You look after existing partners and bring new ones on board.
• You generate B2B leads, set up campaigns, create case studies and measure the results. Your target audience is primarily sports clubs, media agencies and brand teams.
• You plan our presence at an industry event, from sponsorship to booth to follow-up, and use the leads to show what the event delivered overall.

Your tasks

• You manage and expand our affiliate program: onboarding new partners, commissions, payouts and reporting.
• You are responsible for our influencer and partner portfolio, from photographers to industry associations to event partners, and ensure that partner, affiliate and creator activities pull in the same direction.
• You plan and test B2B campaigns for segments such as sports clubs, media agencies and brand teams, and work with our Customer Success team to find out what leads to success.
• You plan and manage our appearances at photo festivals, trade fairs and industry events, and organize your own formats such as meetups for photographers or workshops.
• You turn event and partner contacts into leads and use the numbers to decide what we should do more of and what less of.

What you bring

• At least 4 years of marketing experience, with B2B campaigns and/or partner or affiliate programs that you have fully owned yourself, ideally with a connection to the photography or creative industry.
• Confident in spoken and written German and English: you can write a landing page and an email sequence in both languages. (German does not have to be your native language.)
• A good relationship with numbers: you do not just create dashboards but derive decisions from numbers.
• Practical event experience: you have already planned a trade fair or event presence.
• You see what needs to be done and get started quickly. Taking responsibility in a small team appeals to you.
• A feel for photography or the creative industry is a big plus: you understand who our clients are and what matters to them.

What we offer

• Full flexibility: In our Berlin office, remote, or hybrid: you work wherever you want.
• Freedom and ownership: We rely on trust. You solve problems your way and get the support from the team you need.
• Little bureaucracy: Endless meetings and paperwork are not really our thing.
• Our network: In the saas.group community we exchange successes, failures, ideas, knowledge and experiences with our peers.
• Flexible time off
• Real responsibility from day 1
