Blackboard Studio
About Blackboard Studio
At Blackboard we are building a portfolio of AI-native consumer apps.
We started with Kiwi AI, an education app we launched just a few months ago and now used by more than a million students in Italy and Spain only.
At the moment, we are working to expand into new geographies aiming for 10 million users in the next twelve months. Growth runs organically on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts.
The role
You’ll have the chance to lead our expansion in the region owning a pod of 15–20 German-speaking UGC creators end to end, which includes: recruiting, briefing, coaching, reviewing their output and turning what works into systems the rest of the team can reuse.
What you’ll actually do
Daily
Review the previous day’s posts across your pod, what landed, what didn’t, and why
Give creators direct, specific feedback; approve videos before they go out, or send them back with clear notes
Work your burner account to find formats and references worth testing next week
Clear your queue in our CRM
Weekly
Write the content brief for your pod: proven references to replicate, plus new formats to test (together with the Content Lead)
Run 1:1s with creators
Report performance to the CMO and the other pod owners - what you tried, what worked, what you’re changing
Build the relationships that make your pod feel like a group rather than a list of contractors
Ongoing
Design TikTok-native hooks, concepts, and formats that can be tested and scaled across campaigns
Run high-volume experiments on hooks, pacing, text styles, CTAs, and formats, and find the patterns
Turn wins into templates, frameworks, and playbooks
Onboard new creators into your pod as it grows
What we’re looking for
You already live on short-form platforms. You understand why a certain content or format works. You are up to date with what’s peaking right now and what’s not trending anymore.
You’re comfortable managing people.
Giving creators unbiased and direct feedback without compromising your relationship with them.
You think in systems. When something works twice, your instinct is to write down and understand why, so you can scale it.
You’re data-driven. You can read the contents performance dashboard, form a hypothesis, and design the test that checks it.
You have taste. You care about the difference between content that technically fits the brief and content people actually like.
Requirements
Native or bilingual fluency in German
Fluent in English
Based in Europe and registered as self-employed
Experience creating, managing, or growing short-form social content
Available to travel to Milan occasionally, at our expense, and join other fun retreats we may plan
What we offer
Ownership from day one. The pod is yours. You set its content direction and strategy.
Growth. As we are a fast-growing startup, our priority is to help real talent to thrive and to quickly grow into team-leading roles regardless of seniority and credentials.
Flexibility. You’re evaluated on your results only and not on how, when, or where you achieve them. We only care about what your pod delivers, not about when you’re online.
Exponential learning. We’re consistently gaining hundreds of millions of views a month, so a unique chance for you to understand how we engineer going viral.
A short line to decisions. Eight people, no hierarchy. You’ll work directly with the CMO and other key decision-makers across the company.
Compensation
Monthly: €1.800/month + a variable component based on objective pod-level KPIs For the first month, the fixed component is set at €1.500 while we gradually introduce and onboard you to our systems.
Before you apply
We screen for evidence that you can do the work, not for seniority, years of experience, or a tidy CV.
If you like this role and think you could grow into it, apply. We’d rather assess you than have you rule yourself out.
- If you pass screening, you’ll have the chance to show your abilities through a practical exercise on a real brief, plus up to three calls.
