About 8returns

At 8returns , we’re building the infrastructure for intelligent returns: turning a cost center into a profit and retention channel. Our B2B SaaS platform helps modern e-commerce brands make returns smarter, more sustainable, and more customer-friendly.

We’re based in Berlin, growing fast, and backed by experienced industry investors. Now, we’re building our marketing engine from the ground up - and we’re looking for a bold, creative working student to help us make it happen.

The role

This isn’t a role where you watch from the sidelines. As our Marketing Working Student , you’ll work directly with our Marketing Lead, the first marketing hire at 8returns, and get hands-on experience across the entire go-to-market (GTM) journey. You’ll learn by doing, own real projects, and help us shape our brand from day one.

Support internal reporting by helping track GTM KPIs, building slides for team meetings, or updating dashboards

Help onboard freelancers by coordinating access, templates, and documentation

Real responsibility and ownership

Close mentorship from an experienced marketing leader

Exposure to content, brand, ops, and growth - the full GTM toolbox

A front-row seat in a fast-growing SaaS startup

Flexibility, autonomy, and a culture that rewards bold ideas

Truly bring your real self to work

We’re not looking for someone who’s done it all - we’re looking for someone who wants to learn it all . If that’s you, hit apply and let’s build something amazing together.
