Company: Scalors GmbH — IT nearshoring, IT recruiting and custom software development, based in Achim (near Bremen), Germany, with a US entity (Scalors Inc.)
Engagement type: contract-based collaboration (B2B), long-term partnership intended
Duration: starting with a 3-month initial phase — we are looking for a long-term partner
Workload: approx. 8–10 hours per week to start, with room to grow
Location: 100% remote — candidates working from Ukraine are explicitly welcome
Markets: DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and the United States
Start: as soon as possible
Working language: English (German is a plus, not a requirement)
About the engagement
We are looking for someone to take ownership of our online marketing — first for our paid campaigns, then step by step for our wider inbound marketing across both the DACH region and the US market.
We deliberately start with a clearly scoped three-month phase so both sides can see how the collaboration works. Our intention, however, is not a one-off project: we want someone who stays with us, knows our accounts and our positioning, and grows into the role of our long-term marketing partner as the scope and budget expand.
This is a hands-on role, not strategy-only. You will work directly in our analytics, tag management and ad accounts, fix what is not working, and build a clean, measurable setup we can keep running. You will report directly to management and work independently with minimal supervision. We value clear documentation and short, concrete status updates over long meetings.
Your responsibilities
Phase 1 — the first three months
1. Analytics integration and optimization
- Audit our current analytics setup (GA4, Google Search Console, website data layer) and document gaps.
- Implement or repair event and conversion tracking across our websites and landing pages.
- Ensure a clean, consistent data layer and reliable attribution across markets.
- Set up dashboards and reports that make performance readable for management.
2. Paid search management and Google Tag Manager optimization
- Manage, restructure and optimize our Google Ads accounts (campaigns, ad groups, keywords, negatives, bidding).
- Set up and run Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads) campaigns — particularly relevant for B2B decision-makers in the US market.
- Clean up and restructure our Google Tag Manager container: tags, triggers, variables, naming conventions.
- Implement conversion tracking and enhanced conversions correctly end-to-end.
- Ongoing budget monitoring and performance optimization across both platforms.
3. LinkedIn advertising
- Plan, set up and manage LinkedIn Ads campaigns for our B2B services across DACH and the US.
- Build and maintain audience segments (job titles, company size, industries, matched audiences).
- Run lead gen forms, sponsored content and retargeting, and measure them properly.
- Implement and maintain the LinkedIn Insight Tag and conversion tracking.
4. Conversion optimization
- Analyze user journeys and identify drop-off points across our funnels.
- Recommend and implement concrete improvements to landing pages, forms and calls to action.
- Define and run A/B tests where traffic volume supports them.
- Prioritize measures by expected impact versus effort.
5. Campaign setup and cross-channel tracking
Beyond the first phase — where this role is going
Depending on how the collaboration develops, we want to hand over further inbound marketing channels, for example:
- SEO and content marketing for both markets.
- Landing page and website conversion strategy.
- Email marketing and lead nurturing.
- Marketing automation and CRM-side lead handling.
- Organic social media and employer branding content.
- Market-specific campaign strategy for the US alongside DACH.
We do not expect one person to be equally strong in all of these on day one. We do expect you to tell us honestly where your strengths are and where we would need to add support.
