With beautiful headquarters in Vienna, we operate as a remote-first company and have been recognised as a Top DACH Employer by Kununu for four consecutive years. Our mission is to make sustainable consumption the easy choice by enabling customers to buy products up to 40% cheaper while significantly reducing CO₂ emissions. If you thrive in an environment that values momentum, ownership, and impact, you’ll feel at home here. We’re a fast-paced, high-performance team that works hard and challenges itself everyday. To enable this high-performance every team member enjoys full autonomy over their location (we’re remote-first). As our PR & Brand Manager (Maternity Cover), you’ll own the day-to-day relationship with our PR agencies across six markets, drive pan-European PR coordination across all our markets, and lead our brand tracking and PR research initiatives.

Our Vienna HQ is available if you’d prefer to be based there. - You take ownership end-to-end: you’re used to running a project or subarea on your own, and you don’t wait to be told what’s next — you spot gaps, improve ways of working, and raise the quality of what’s around you. - You build strong cross-functional relationships; people come to you for PR and brand input because they trust your judgment and expertise. - You’re highly organized and comfortable juggling multiple markets, agencies and stakeholders without losing sight of deadlines. - You have a strong feel for written language and tone, and experience translating data and company priorities into external-facing stories. - You have experience working with AI tools and are open to learning more about implementing AI into your daily work - You’re passionate about sustainability, innovation and creating real impact. Location & eligibility: This role is open to Europe-based candidates only with a valid right to work. ## WHAT YOU'LL DO: PR Agency & Market Management: - Own the day-to-day relationship with PR agencies across SE, DK, FI, IE, BE and NL, including briefing, approving PR materials, developing local angles and following up on performance/KPIs. - Act as the main internal point of contact for these markets, ensuring agencies have the information, data and materials they need. Pan-European PR Coordination: - Own and host the monthly editorial meeting across 16 PR agencies/markets, including agenda, preparation, follow-up and continuous improvement of the format. - Drive cross-market sharing of PR ideas, opportunities and best practices. - Manage the press pages across all markets, ensuring the latest press releases and relevant content are published and kept up to date. Data, Research & Brand Tracking: - Source and analyse internal data for PR stories, identify relevant trends and coordinate internal data validation. - Own the refurbed brand tracker, including planning waves, managing research, setting up surveys and reporting results. - Manage PR consumer studies across markets, coordinating agency input, developing and delivering results and insights. Content & Language Support: - Proofread and adapt content for Performance Marketing, CRM and other teams. - Review and approve UGC/performance content. Events & Activations: - Plan and manage PR and influencer events, including concept, budget, agency coordination, internal stakeholders, products and logistics. - Represent refurbed at events, including presentations/keynotes, and manage post-event reporting. PR Project & Stakeholder Management: - Manage PR projects from idea to execution, translating company priorities, data and initiatives into relevant external communications. - Coordinate across PR agencies and internal teams including Marketing, Supply, Data and other stakeholders to ensure effective execution.
