🧡 Coverflex

Coverflex started with a simple observation: work changed, but compensation didn’t.

A few founders looked at how people were being paid across Europe — rigid salary structures, fragmented benefits, systems that were complex for HR and often meaningless for employees — and realized the model simply hadn’t kept up with modern work.

So we decided to rebuild it.

What began in Portugal as a small team trying to fix a broken compensation system quickly grew into one of the most ambitious compensation platforms in Southern Europe. Today, thousands of companies use Coverflex to manage benefits, meal allowance, insurance, and flexible compensation through a single platform.

But what makes Coverflex special isn’t just the product — it’s how we build.

We’re a team of people who like solving hard problems, moving fast, and taking real ownership. We care about clarity, autonomy, and impact. Titles matter less than outcomes, and good ideas can come from anywhere.

Now we’re entering our next chapter.

After building strong traction in Portugal, Spain, and Italy, we’re expanding into Germany — one of Europe’s most sophisticated and complex compensation markets.

Launching a new country at Coverflex isn’t about “copy-pasting” what already exists. It’s about building again — understanding the market, challenging old assumptions, and creating something that truly works for local companies and employees.

If you join at this stage, you won’t just be joining a company.

You’ll be helping build the next chapter of it.

Main KPI 3: Organic pipeline generation (MQLs, SQLs, attribution to content/SEO)

⚡ Reality Check - What Makes This Role Hard

Let’s be real, this is a 0→1 market-building role in a complex environment.

Here’s what makes it challenging:

• You’re starting from zero: no brand, no SEO, no media relationships

• Germany is a high-trust, high-complexity market with strong regulatory context

• Buyers are methodical and sceptical — credibility takes time to build

• You’ll need to balance local ownership with global alignment

• You’ll operate with high autonomy, but still be accountable for outcomes

👤 You

Must-haves (evidence, not years)

• Native or fully fluent German, with professional English

• 5+ years in B2B marketing (SaaS, HR tech, or fintech preferred)

• Proven experience working in the German market

• Strong writing skills in German (native-level storytelling, not translation)

• Experience owning organic channels end-to-end (SEO, content, PR, events)

• Website management experience (content, landing pages, analytics)

• Ability to move between strategy and execution

• Proficient with AI tools in daily workflows

Nice-to-have

• Knowledge of the German benefits landscape (e.g. Sachbezug, bAV, etc.)

• Familiarity with HR tools ecosystem (e.g. DATEV, Personio)

• Experience launching a brand or market from scratch

• Existing network in German HR / Finance communities

• Experience with Webflow or similar CMS

🧬 Your DNA

• Builder mindset: you’re energised by starting from zero.

• Locally sharp: you deeply understand how German buyers think and what builds trust.

• Outcome-driven: you think in pipeline, not just content output.

• High ownership: you set priorities and move without waiting for direction.

• Execution-focused: you move fast, without compromising quality.

• AI-native: you use AI as a core tool to think, create, and ship faster.

You’ll probably find this frustrating if…

• You prefer optimising existing systems instead of building new ones

• You need fully defined processes before starting

• You focus on activity (content, posts) instead of outcomes

• You treat localisation as translation instead of adaptation

• You work in isolation and avoid cross-functional collaboration

• You’re sceptical about adopting AI tools
