Manager Campaigns & Media at Kia Europe in Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Job Overview

Kia Europe GmbH, the automaker’s regional sales and manufacturing headquarters, is looking to fill a Manager Campaigns & Media position at its Frankfurt am Main offices on a one-year fixed-term basis to cover parental leave. The role sits inside Kia Europe’s central marketing function and is built around keeping pan-European campaign activity on track — from product launches to brand initiatives — as they move from headquarters planning into execution across individual national markets.

Rather than owning a single campaign from concept to finish, the position is deliberately cross-functional: the person hired will be the connective tissue between Kia Europe’s headquarters team, local market teams in each country, and the external agencies that help produce campaign assets. A meaningful share of the workload centers on two current priorities — the rollout of Kia’s PBV (Platform Beyond Vehicle) commercial van launches, and customer experience (CX) initiatives including the Kia App — alongside broader responsibilities in media planning and performance reporting.

About the Role

Campaign and media coordination at this scale is as much a project-management discipline as a marketing one. The team is responsible for making sure that when Kia Europe commits to a product launch or brand initiative, every market has the assets, timeline guidance, and support needed to execute it locally without losing consistency across 39-plus markets. That means the Manager Campaigns & Media role blends day-to-day coordination work — tracking timelines, flagging risks, chasing dependencies — with more analytical responsibilities around media budgets and campaign performance data, and periodic reporting duties that put findings in front of senior stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate the delivery of major European marketing initiatives, with particular emphasis on PBV launch activity and customer-experience (CX) projects
• Manage campaign planning and activation across Kia Europe headquarters and local markets, keeping projects on time, on scope, and aligned with business goals
• Act as the day-to-day point of contact for PBV and CX-related projects, coordinating between headquarters, local markets, and agency partners
• Support planning and optimisation of customer-engagement programmes, including the Kia App and related connected-experience initiatives
• Maintain detailed project plans, timelines, action trackers, and stakeholder communications across several workstreams at once
• Coordinate market-readiness activity, ensuring local teams have the assets and guidance needed for a smooth campaign rollout
• Track project progress, flag risks and dependencies, and push proactively for resolution when delivery is at risk
• Support media planning, budget management, and performance reporting tied to campaign and project delivery
• Analyse campaign, media, and customer-engagement data to surface insights and improvement opportunities
• Prepare accurate, evidence-based updates and presentations for senior stakeholders
• Contribute to ongoing improvements in campaign governance and cross-functional working practices across Kia Europe
