Communication Allrounder & Project Manager (m/w/d)

Role overview

You will manage client and in-house projects reliably while professionalizing UNCODED’s communication. The role combines project steering and communication/content work end-to-end, from idea through execution, with the emphasis shifting depending on the annual phase.

Responsibilities

• Project management (end-to-end): plan, prioritize, and steer client and internal projects including timings, budgets, resources, and quality assurance (often across multiple projects).
• Build lean project structures: introduce and run methods, tools, and routines that fit a small growing team (e.g., boards, briefing, status and handover formats) without process overhead.
• Communication strategy & execution: further develop communication strategy and implement it platform-wide with consistent tone, visuals, and positioning.
• Writing & editorial: create content in German and English for social media posts, website, presentations, newsletters, press releases, and customer communication.
• Visual production & templates: create visuals, templates, and presentations using Canva, Figma, and AI tools at a level that can be delivered without an external agency.
• Coordinate external design support when projects require specialized or larger design work.
• Management positioning: define key topics for management representation and build/expand a network with relevant media representatives and multipliers.
• Event/format communication: support event formats from announcement and speaker communication through follow-up.
• Use AI in communication and project work: leverage provided AI tools, optionally develop prompts/workflows, and continuously improve speed and quality.
• Work closely with the executive team and make many decisions independently.
• Lead student assistants: brief and steer the student helpers supporting execution.

Requirements

• 5–8 years of professional experience, ideally in a marketing/communications/creative agency or in the marketing/communications department of a growing company.
• Strong instinct for what customers/themes/moments need in terms of tone, timing, and creative execution.
• Practical project management skills: able to introduce, embed, and adapt methods/tools pragmatically for a small team.
• Confident independent writing in German and English, tailored to different target groups and formats.
• Comfortable creating visuals with Claude, Canva, Figma (or comparable tools); strong sense for text, typography, layout, and visual language.
• Experience with modern tools including AI-supported processes.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with event/format communication and/or managing speaker communication and event follow-ups.
• Experience tailoring communication consistently across multiple channels/platforms.
