The BlaBlaCar digital marketing team is one of the best in Europe (we are one of Facebook's top performing major accounts for example), and a smart, agile in-house marketing design process is a major contributing factor to that success. We use no advertising agencies - all our content is developed, and almost all is produced in-house, a key aspect of which is our exclusive, multi-local image bank!

To succeed in this role you will be flexible, hands-on team member with a keen understanding of photographic art direction, and a strong desire to harness the power of imagery to build a brand and create great online marketing content.
