Marketing working student (German-speaking)
About 8returns
At 8returns, we’re building the infrastructure for intelligent returns: turning a cost center into a profit and retention channel. Our B2B SaaS platform helps modern e-commerce brands make returns smarter, more sustainable, and more customer-friendly.
We’re based in Berlin, growing fast, and backed by experienced industry investors. Now, we’re building our marketing engine from the ground up - and we’re looking for a bold, creative working student to help us make it happen.
The role
This isn’t a role where you watch from the sidelines. As our Marketing Working Student, you’ll work directly with our Marketing Lead, the first marketing hire at 8returns, and get hands-on experience across the entire go-to-market (GTM) journey. You’ll learn by doing, own real projects, and help us shape our brand from day one.
What you’ll be working on
Content & Communication
•
Write and publish sharp, engaging content in German and English across all our marketing channels
•
Translate and adapt customer stories and case studies
•
Collaborate with freelance designers to generate evergreen and seasonal marketing assets
•
Assist in drafting messaging for campaigns, sales decks, event promos, and internal comms
•
Help keep our content calendar up-to-date and spot new opportunities based on trends
•
Conduct light research to support content planning: from competitor analysis to topic ideation
Digital Execution
•
CRO: Optimize web pages for conversion, build workflows, and implement technical SEO fixes with support from our team
•
Create and test email automations for marketing and sales: from research, writing copy, personalization to setting up flows and reporting
•
Assist in managing and updating website content (e.g., blog uploads, image swaps, copy tweaks)
•

•
Help troubleshoot small bugs, broken links, or formatting issues that impact the digital experience
•
Support the setup of dark landing pages for paid and emails to improve engagement and conversion
Operational Enablement
•
Finalize swag, manage vendor communication, logistics & activations for our biggest events
•
Pull data from our CRM and help us make sense of it for use in budgeting, forecasting, customer and sales enablement
•
Spot issues, solve problems, and suggest improvements to our marketing and sales ops setup - we love proactive thinkers
•
Support internal reporting by helping track GTM KPIs, building slides for team meetings, or updating dashboards
•
Help onboard freelancers by coordinating access, templates, and documentation
What We’re Looking For

Love to learn, experiment, and figure things out
•
Have a knack for trying out and making a modern tech stack work
