๐Ÿข About BlaBlaCar

BlaBlaCar is a global leader in shared mobility, connecting millions of travelers and preventing over 2 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. 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.

๐Ÿ’ก 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.

๐ŸŽฏ Who BlaBlaCar Is Looking For

  • Has 3+ years of hands-on experience in lifecycle marketing (CRM) and social media management, ideally in a fast-paced startup or tech environment.
  • Possesses exceptional copywriting skills in Portuguese (Brazilian) and English, able to craft persuasive, localized messages that drive conversions.
  • Is analytically savvy, comfortable interpreting cohort data, running A/B tests, and calculating ROI to optimize campaign performance.
  • Has a growth-hacking mindsetโ€”always testing, iterating, and scaling what worksโ€”with experience in tools like Braze, MoEngage, or similar CRM platforms.

โš ๏ธ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't submit a generic cover letterโ€”this role requires specific CRM and social media examples; generic praise of the company won't stand out.
  • Avoid neglecting the analytical side: if you only emphasize creative copywriting without showing data skills, you'll miss the mark.
  • Don't overlook the importance of English fluency; ensure your application is error-free in English and demonstrates you can communicate with global teams.
