Digital Marketing Coordinator

Digital Marketing Coordinator (Parental Leave Cover) – The Local Europe, Stockholm

About the role

We're looking for a Digital Marketing Coordinator to join our Stockholm-based team on a one-year parental leave cover, starting 1 September 2026. This is a hands-on, varied role at the heart of our digital operations - and a great opportunity for someone who wants to grow within a modern, international media company.

Reporting to the Head of Subscriptions, you'll split your time between two core areas: ad operations and subscription marketing. On the ad side, you'll handle campaign coordination, ad publishing in our CMS (WordPress), and reporting to our sales team. On the subscription side, you'll support marketing efforts across channels and markets to attract and retain subscribers.

What you'll be doing

• Publishing and managing digital ad campaigns across our platforms
• Coordinating with our sales team and ensuring smooth campaign delivery
• Supporting subscription marketing across email, social, and paid channels
• Building and maintaining marketing automations
• Creating basic visual assets (Canva or similar)
• Tracking performance and producing regular reports

Who you are

• 2–5 years of experience in digital marketing, ideally in a media or content-driven environment
• Comfortable working across multiple channels and platforms simultaneously
• Detail-oriented and structured - you don't miss deadlines or drop the ball on details
• A quick learner who picks up new tools and systems without much fuss
• Familiar with ad formats, social media marketing, email marketing tools, and marketing automation basics
• Comfortable communicating in English on a daily basis (our company language)

About us

The Local Europe (thelocal.com) is a digital news company serving international immigrants and expats across nine European markets.

Most of us work remotely, but this role is Stockholm-based with a hybrid setup: you'll come into the office a few days a week.

We offer a flexible working environment for people who take ownership of their work.

We're covered by a collective bargaining agreement (Unionen).
