Vacancy: Brand Development Manager

The Brand Development Manager will be responsible for the international brand strategy, brand development and creating state-of-the-art brand campaigns for the full marketing mix.

This well-rounded expertise is essential to make this role, and its goal, a success.

Using the brand positioning strategy as their guiding principle, the Brand Development Manager works with a wide variety of top-notch agencies on campaign development, brand activation, sponsoring, social media and PR. This is when the creative meets logic; in the development of campaigns that give the Bitvavo brand a touch of magic and mystique while underpinning the logic and reliability. When launching campaigns, the Brand Development Manager ensures consistency throughout every facet of the company and through the full marketing mix, and works closely with the brand, product and affiliation teams.

This is a really exciting opportunity for an entrepreneurial marketer who loves to shape and build in a fast-paced environment,” – Marcel Ribbens, Head of Brand & Communication.

Next to the strategic and creative scope of this role, the Brand Development Manager will be the key interface for the European markets when it comes to brand development.
