Marketing and Content Associate - Video (w/m/f)

About us

The global energy transition is the biggest challenge and opportunity of the 21st century. Corporations, commercial entities, and suppliers (large and small) are realising the need to work towards a greener future - often by investing in renewable energy generation, adapting their electricity usage and commercial models.

At Gridcog, we’re on a mission to accelerate investment in the clean energy transition. We are a SaaS start-up of energy nerds on a mission to accelerate the energy transition by building the best project modelling software to enable our users to make intelligent energy decisions. Our software models the physical and commercial nuances of energy projects. This includes modelling renewable energy generation, flexibility and different commercial arrangements.

We started out in Australia in the summer of 2020, launched in the UK in 2023, and now we’re super excited to grow our team as we bring that success to Europe with the opening of our Berlin office.

Who we’re looking for

We’re seeking a confident, hands-on Marketing and Content Associate, with a focus on video, to help bring Gridcog’s story to life in Germany. You’ll be confident in creating LinkedIn appropriate video content - from planning and shooting, to editing and publishing - in addition to events management, social media scheduling, and have a keen eye for what ‘works’ and ‘doesn’t work’ on digital channels week-to-week.

This is a unique opportunity to be one of the first hires in our Berlin office, helping to kickstart our marketing presence in a new region. You’ll work closely with Dan, Marketing Manager, and Genna, Chief Commercial Officer in London, and an international team to adapt our successful UK and Australian content playbook for the German market, helping us generate leads and build brand awareness.

You’ll thrive if you’re a doer who loves creating, getting stuck in, and helping a brand stand out.

What you’ll do

You’ll be successful if you have:

• At least 2 years of hands-on experience in video production and editing, from concept to shooting, and editing to final cut.
• A self-starter mindset - you’re proactive, adaptable, and self-motivated. You’re happy working to tight deadlines, setting yourself clear goals and sticking to weekly cadences/schedules.
• Experience in content creation or marketing, ideally in a small team, startup, or fast-moving environment.
• A collaborative attitude, contributing positively to the energy and culture of our new Berlin office, and excited to engage with a global team of Gridcoggers.
• Fluency in the Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Premiere Pro & After Effects
• Excellent communication skills, for both internal and external audiences.

Benefits:
