Communications Manager, DACH - 12 month Fixed Term Contract

About the role

LinkedIn is looking for an experienced communications professional to join its Global Communications team on a 12-month fixed-term contract. The position focuses on the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) and is based in Berlin or Munich, Germany. The role blends strategic communications planning with hands-on execution, supporting business goals, building brand visibility across corporate, consumer, and B2B audiences, and contributing to growth across the region.

The company’s flexible-work approach is based on trust and is designed to support collaboration, clarity, culture, and business needs. This role is hybrid, meaning work will be split between home and a LinkedIn office on selected days as determined by team requirements.

LinkedIn describes its mission as creating economic opportunity for the global workforce and fostering a workplace culture centered on trust, care, inclusion, and enjoyment.

• Coordinate with agencies and other external partners as required.

Qualifications and experience

Applicants should bring at least 5 years of experience in consumer, B2B, and corporate communications, along with fluency in both English and German.

Preferred experience includes strong media contacts, sound news judgment, work on integrated consumer campaigns, and experience in global organizations or communications agencies. The role also calls for strong research and analytical ability, an understanding of the business and media landscape, excellent organization, attention to detail, and the ability to manage several projects at once.

Success in this role also depends on the ability to work with senior stakeholders, operate effectively in a fast-moving environment, make collaborative decisions, and communicate clearly in writing, editing, and speaking. Familiarity with using AI tools in day-to-day work is also expected.
