⚙️ Operations & Finance Assistant (German & English, Remote, Part-Time)
About Longship Marketing
(This job is open to candidates across Europe, not just Germany!)
Longship Marketing is a remote-first agency helping brands grow through performance marketing and e-commerce operations. Our distributed team of 15+ professionals across Europe values flexibility, ownership, and getting things done.
You'll be supporting operations and finance across three interconnected businesses:
Longship Marketing GmbH (the company you'll be contracted to)
Longship Commerce GmbH - which owns our portfolio of e-commerce sites
Dx3 Services UG - which runs our 'Dx3 Labs AI' sister services business for AI automation
All three businesses intersect with Longship Marketing, but extend beyond a traditional marketing agency—you'll be working with a group of companies.
We're now hiring a part-time Operations & Finance Assistant (approx. 20 hours/week) to own our internal operations and finance processes.
