Looking for a new adventure? You’ve come to the right place.

We're an Amsterdam-based team of 70+ (and counting) with 20+ nationalities amongst us! A varied bunch of “Citizens of The World” with a wide range of skills and hundreds of thousands of kilometers under our travel belts. And we have something important in common (other than our very well-worn passports): We want to change the way people travel. 

And that's exactly what we're doing, with the travel app to plan, track, and relive trips in a smart and beautiful way.

Polarsteps has over 14 million users already, but, for us, this is just the beginning. We have big plans for the future, and so we need even more talented and enthusiastic people to help us on our journey.

Your expedition: Growth & Marketing at Polarsteps

We’re a small team, doing big things.

Over the past 9 years, Polarsteps has grown massively through word-of-mouth, thanks to our product and tech department building a top-quality user experience for all our travelers.

The Growth & Marketing department is still a small team, but we are doing big things. You’ll take charge of diverse user acquisition channels, including Meta, TikTok, Google, and Apple Search Ads, to maximize acceleration within our key markets (FR, DE, UK, US, NL) while efficiently managing paid budgets. Besides our paid channels, you will monitor our keyword rankings in the App Stores closely and know how to optimize titles, subtitles and keywords to improve our organic installs. Also, you will work closely with our designers to optimize the App Store Screens to improve conversion rates.

With ratings of 4.8* and 4.7* on the app stores and features in multiple Google and Apple showcases, we've got an impressive past. But we’re even more excited for the future — and the impact you can make from day one is huge, directly influencing how we can accelerate user acquisition in all our key markets.
