The Position

This position is an unique chance to shape your communicative handwriting on an international B2B brand and further develop its perception. You don't just lift your own career to the next level, but shape actively how Surplex looks and is perceived – across markets, channels, and target groups. Your work ensures that individual measures become a consistent story and real brand relevance emerges.

This development opportunity arises through the special role at the center of our marketing communication: You work at the interface of content, brand, and visual implementation. You combine storytelling with strategic thinking and creative excellence. You are responsible for our press work, manage social media – both written and visually, create photos and videos at events, and are involved in video production and editing. Additionally, you develop contents for our website blog and support SEO-optimized content in close cooperation with our SEO agency. Internal communication also lies in your hands, so that employees remain informed and involved.

Our vision is to establish a clear, recognizable communication framework that positions Surplex as a strong, modern, and trustworthy B2B brand – with consistent tone, relevant contents, and scalable formats for international markets.

This will be achieved through an environment that sets trust, self-responsibility, and cooperation. You work closely with Country Marketing Managers, central marketing functions, HR, and external partners, and have the space to think and implement communication holistically. It's not just about producing content, but about impact: contents that give orientation, transport emotions, and make the brand experiential.

This role is directed at someone who does not see communication as a byproduct, but as a central steering instrument for a brand. At an individual who likes to create structures where previously there was none, who takes visual and linguistic quality seriously, and brings energy to actively shape communication rather than just manage it. Your further development will be supported through regular feedback, close exchange within the team, and targeted internal and external training opportunities.
