Job Description
This is a unique opportunity for an experienced digital project manager to be the central coordinator for a team of graphic designers located in several offices around the world.
Based in London, you will help coordinate the marketing communications design happening locally, while contributing to the ongoing definition and implementation of our global visual brand identity. This new role reports to the Global Head of Marketing & Design, who reports directly to company founders.
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! We are now looking for talented people to join our global creative team and help shape and mentor a new team of remote, local designers, bringing greater creativity and efficiency to our marcom operations in every market.
Your key responsibilities will be to:
• Help hire and subsequently coordinate, and mentor a team of Local Content Designers who will be based in our ten local offices around the world, as part of the local teams (not your direct reports)
• Project manage the development of effective graphic assets that will support local marcom strategies both digitally and offline (identifying needs, briefing, making assets accessible remotely...)
• Develop process for feedback and ressource sharing across remote design team members in our multiple local offices
• Consult with local team stakeholders to ensure appropriate creative strategies, adequacy/accuracy of input, schedules, production support, etc.
• Contribute to our ongoing visual identity guidelines (alongside our Global Design & Creative Lead) and help ensure consistent visual messaging, and look and feel across marketing and communications materials in all territories
• Translate local insights into effective creative campaigns across multiple media platforms
• Partner with our global growth organization to implement marketing strategies and create tactical executions
Qualifications
Either significant experience managing digital content projects or as a design studio manager
Minimum 6 years professional experience
Passionate, committed team leader, skilfull coordinator, communicator, and people manager, able to get others on board, inspire, guide and mentor successfully
Comfort working in a start up culture with a high growth/agile environment, a fearless problem-solver with a can-do approach who embraces constant change
Must understand our business model and value proposition, for both drivers and passengers
Knowledge of digital marketing & online marketing metrics (CPC, CPL etc…) a plus
Strong knowledge of digital marketing is a plus. Please note that, although UI UX skill is of course useful to designing online content, the scope of this role does NOT include UI UX design of the site or apps. The role is 100% focused on creation and management of marketing content.
As a key manager, travel to local offices to build team relationships with local colleagues and understand local market challenges will be vital.
