Your mission

You bring innovations to light and bring the people behind them together!

Connecting startups, companies, talent, and investors across national borders takes more than just good ideas: it requires strong communication, relevant content, and events that truly bring people together. To achieve this, we’re looking for a creative, organized individual who will shape our marketing, further develop our channels, and turn events into meaningful connections.

You’ll help shape R-Factory’s communication and visibility within the German-Dutch innovation and startup ecosystem. You’ll manage our social media channels, develop content, and contribute creatively to the planning and execution of our events. You’ll keep an eye on new platforms, formats, and trends and identify which ones truly align with our target audiences and our topics.

Here’s what you can expect:
  • Social Media Management: You’ll plan, coordinate, and publish content for our social media channels. In doing so, you’ll continuously refine our topics and formats and help ensure a consistent, standout presence! You’ll select the right formats and touchpoints for our target audiences and help build our community!
  • Relevant, Impactful Content: You’ll turn ideas, programs, and stories from the startup and innovation scenes into clear, relevant content—in collaboration with the team and our partners—for newsletters, blogs, press releases, and more.
  • Performance Marketing: You’ll analyze the response to our content and activities using data-driven insights and use those insights to determine next steps.
  • Discovering and testing trends: You’ll keep an eye on new formats and developments in marketing, AI, social media, and the startup world, and incorporate them into our communications and events.
  • Event management: You’ll contribute creative ideas to the planning of our events and flagship events and support their planning and execution—from the overall concept and communications to on-site coordination and follow-up.
  • Cross-border Communication: You’ll help build a strong innovation ecosystem and make the most of the collaboration between students, startups, companies, and partners in Germany and the Netherlands to create real impact!

Your profile

  • Several years of experience in marketing, communications, social media, or event communications—for example, from a company, an agency, or an innovation-oriented environment
  • Confidence in planning and independently implementing content for different target audiences and channels
  • Creativity, a good feel for language and visual communication, and a passion for trying out new formats
  • Organizational skills and experience in reliably coordinating projects and events and implementing them hands-on
  • Initiative, a broad perspective, and the ability to pragmatically put ideas into action
  • Very good command of German and English
A plus, but not required:
  • Knowledge of Dutch or experience in German-Dutch collaboration
  • Experience in the startup, innovation, or corporate environment
  • Practical experience with newsletter tools, social media analytics, Canva or Adobe tools, and paid ad campaigns
  • Experience with video and short-form content, performance ads, or AI tools
  • A bachelor’s degree in marketing, communications, media, business, or a related field

We’re not looking for perfect resumes—we’re looking for people who want to make a difference. Even if you don’t meet every requirement, apply anyway!

Why us?

  • Real creative freedom: You’ll play an active role in shaping how R-Factory and the German-Dutch innovation ecosystem present themselves to the outside world.
  • A network that opens doors: You’ll collaborate with young founders, well-known companies, investors, and partners from Germany and the Netherlands.
  • A versatile, key role: You’ll bring together marketing, community, innovation, and events, with opportunities to take on even more responsibility.

  • 30 days of vacation.
  • Corporate benefits.

About us

R-Factory eG

Cross-border, bridging borders, international, and collaborative: with 30 members, R-Factory eG brings together the strengths of the EUREGIO, stretching from Münster through Osnabrück—Lower Saxony’s startup capital—to Enschede. With seven universities, over 130,000 students, and 30 strong members, we bring together the right ingredients for innovation in the fields of FinTech, industrial resilience, and much more. We are the driving force behind an innovative economy and optimal growth conditions for the science-based startups of tomorrow and “the next economic miracle”!

What we do:

We are the central platform for innovation programs with a unique selling point (USP): We bring the right stakeholders together to create the best possible conditions for growth at the intersection of companies, startups, and young university talent. Why? We believe that a new economic miracle can only emerge from these ingredients. 

To build a strong economy for tomorrow, foster new technologies, and support innovative startups, we are working on the following:

The R-Factory is the central point of contact in the EUREGIO for SMEs and corporations that want to implement innovation and are seeking new solutions to real-world challenges in order to promote corporate innovation. At the same time, we’re developing strategies and programs to foster the long-term growth of startups and keep them in the region. We design network- and innovation-driven programs: workshops, training sessions, events, venture clienting projects, and more.

You as part of R-Factory:

Shaping the future together requires many small ingredients. And you could be one of them! 

With us, you’ll have responsibility and make an impact from day one, helping to shape programs and projects that define Europe as a hub of innovation. Through R-Factory’s startup vibe, our flat hierarchies, and flexible work arrangements, we create an environment where ideas grow and people thrive. 

Your direct access to a unique network of startups, investors, mentors, and corporate partners opens doors that remain closed elsewhere. You won’t just be working with the shapers of tomorrow’s future—you’ll be one of them!

We’re not looking for perfect résumés, but for people with an entrepreneurial spirit, passion, and the drive to make a difference. Even if you don’t meet all the requirements, apply anyway! We look forward to meeting people who want to actively help shape the ecosystem.
