🏢 About Global Changer

Global Changer is a mission-driven startup helping major companies like Tchibo, EDEKA, and Panasonic achieve net-zero emissions through automated data solutions. As a remote-first team of 25, you'll directly contribute to climate action while working flexibly from anywhere in Germany.

About This Role

As a working student in sustainability marketing, you'll support our Marketing Lead Karen in executing LinkedIn strategy, content creation, and website management. Your work will amplify our impact by engaging sustainability leaders in large enterprises and driving meaningful conversations about corporate climate action.

💡 A Day in the Life

You'll start your day by checking LinkedIn for comments or messages on scheduled posts, then update the content calendar for the week. You might draft a blog post from a briefing, publish it in Framer, and coordinate with Karen on the newsletter. Afternoon could involve analyzing post performance and brainstorming new content ideas with the team over a virtual coffee.

📝 Tips for Applying to Global Changer

1

Highlight any experience with LinkedIn or social media management, even if from personal projects or clubs, and include metrics like engagement growth.

2

Show your sustainability knowledge by mentioning specific climate topics, companies, or trends you follow, and how you'd bring that perspective to our content.

3

Since we use Framer, mention any website editing experience or willingness to learn quickly; if you have a portfolio, include links.

4

Tailor your cover letter to show you understand our mission and target audience (sustainability managers in large companies) – avoid generic marketing talk.

5

In your application, demonstrate remote work skills: communication, time management, and ability to collaborate across time zones, as our team is fully remote.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

• Express genuine passion for climate action and why you want to work specifically at Global Changer, referencing our clients or mission. • Emphasize your ability to create engaging content for LinkedIn and your understanding of what resonates with professional audiences. • Highlight your organizational skills in managing editorial calendars and your analytical approach to measuring post performance. • Show eagerness to learn and adapt to new tools like Framer, and your proactive attitude in taking ownership of tasks.

🔍 Research Before Applying

To stand out, make sure you've researched:

  • Visit our website and read a few case studies to understand how we present our solutions and client successes.
  • Follow Global Changer on LinkedIn and note the tone, topics, and engagement patterns of recent posts to see what works.
  • Look up recent news about our clients (Tchibo, EDEKA, Panasonic) regarding their sustainability efforts to understand their challenges.
  • Familiarize yourself with the basics of carbon accounting and net-zero targets (e.g., SBTi) to speak our language.

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

1 How would you plan a month of LinkedIn content for a B2B sustainability software? Give examples of post ideas.
2 Describe a time you used social media analytics to improve engagement – what metrics did you track and what changes did you make?
3 How do you stay updated on sustainability trends and regulations, and how would you incorporate them into our content?
4 Since we're remote, how do you manage your time and communicate effectively with a distributed team?
5 If you had to write a case study about a client like Tchibo, what steps would you take to gather information and structure the story?

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't send a generic cover letter – we want to see your specific interest in sustainability and our company, not a copy-paste template.
  • Avoid ignoring the requirement to be a student (Werkstudent) – if you're not enrolled, don't apply as it's a legal requirement in Germany.
  • Don't underestimate the importance of LinkedIn – if you lack experience, show willingness to learn and provide examples of how you'd approach it, rather than dismissing it as 'just social media'.
