• plan and coordinate full funnel paid campaigns together with internal marketing teams and external partners

• lead the internal workflow across regions for SoMe planning tools (g. Falcon, Canva, Adobe) and editorial calendars

• work closely with the performance team to analyse and optimise SoMe performance and engagement metrics

We are seeking a digitally fluent, curious and collaborative communicator with a passion for brand storytelling and audience engagement. You bring experience in social media management, influencer collaboration and content development. You are structured, visually sharp, and comfortable managing processes across teams and countries. Your background includes a relevant degree in marketing, communications or a related field, and you are fluent in English – both written and spoken. 

You will report to the Brand and Communications Director and be part of the global marketing organisation. The role is based in Oslo or Ålesund/Sykkylven.
