Ecommerce Marketing Manager
Who are we?
We are VinoKilo.
We are a growing team on a mission to make secondhand fashion more desirable than new, fast fashion. Why? Because we believe fashion should be stylish and sustainable.
We are based in Bodenheim, a beautiful town in the middle of wine country, 12 km south of downtown Mainz on the edge of the Frankfurt Rhine-Main Region. Our proximity to the airport and our central European location makes us open to the world.
The impact you will create on VinoKilo
As Ecommerce Marketing Manager you will join our newly formed ecommerce team to help us build the largest secondhand fashion online store in the world. This may seem like a wild statement but it's more realistic with you on board because:
- You will understand our current customers and their wants and needs.
- You will understand our potential customer, where they are, what they're looking for, the barriers holding them back from becoming customers, their needs, their dreams and, most importantly, their buying decisions.
- You will share your learnings with us to improve our offerings.
- You will help us educate customers and potential customers on second hand fashion and sustainability.
- You will strategize with us to create challenging, yet achievable goals.
- You will plan and execute marketing campaigns. You will test, learn and iterate.
- You will challenge us and our beliefs where necessary.
- We will constantly improve and push forward as a company based on your reports on learnings you have gained through tracking and analysis.

- There is plenty of room for growth for the company and the role.

- We are based in one of the most stunning areas with the beautiful countryside on our doorstep, yet a short hop, skip and a jump away from Mainz, and the hustle and bustle of Frankfurt and its international airport.

NB: We know lots of people, especially women and minorities, do not apply for roles unless they hit all the requirements listed in Job Descriptions — these are normally wish lists. We’ve tried to simplify this list into what we actually NEED you to have and what would be nice. Either way, if you feel this is your perfect role, we want to hear from you.
We would be excited if you have
- Ecommerce experience in the German market.
- Relationships and experience with PR and journalists

- Some kind of coding experience - whether HTML, some scripting experience like Python or data management language like SQL

The train station is approx. a 5-minute walk away. If you have a car, you can also benefit from our free parking spaces. - Generous time off: 25 vacation days + public holidays.
