As a mission-driven company with a strong engineering and product culture, it offers the chance to work on high-impact projects that blend sustainability, technology, and community. With a presence in 22 countries, the Brazil team plays a critical role in driving growth in one of its key markets.
About This Role
This role is the engine behind BlaBlaCar Brazil's user acquisition and retention, orchestrating CRM campaigns across push, email, and WhatsApp while managing social media to build brand trust. You'll own the lifecycle marketing strategy, run A/B tests on discount programs, and directly influence the company's 2026 growth targets. It's a hands-on, data-driven position where your copywriting and analytical skills will shape the user experience for millions of Brazilians.
๐ก A Day in the Life
Your morning might start by reviewing CRM campaign performance dashboards and iterating on WhatsApp or push notification copy based on yesterday's A/B test results. Midday, you'd collaborate with the global marketing team to align on a new social media campaign, then spend the afternoon crafting a voucher campaign for a targeted user segment. By end of day, you'd analyze cohort data to refine the next week's lifecycle flows.
