Description

Intro You're looking for more than just another writing gig, and you want your words to actually matter? With us, you get the opportunity to reach thousands of senior C-level executives with your content, giving them insights that shape decisions, teams, and companies. We are not looking for someone we need to train. We're looking for someone who can deliver great French B2B content from day one – independently, reliably, and with a sharp sense for what resonates with a professional audience. Compensation & Start Date We're looking for someone who can start immediately. Latest within the next 4-6 weeks. This is a freelance engagement paid on an hourly basis, with a rate of €20–30 per hour depending on your experience and portfolio. The weekly volume varies depending on season and project pipeline. During active phases, this typically ranges around 5–10 hours per week, with quieter periods in between. We value a partner who can adapt accordingly. About SAWOO SAWOO GmbH is an international, dynamic company based in Germany with around 20 employees. We build and manage communities that bring together C-level executives from major companies. Our goal is to help leaders solve challenges and grow personally and professionally. Members of our communities include executives from companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Airbus, Amazon, and Siemens. In our communities, we currently organize: Around 25 in-person networking events in 7 countries per month 4 conferences in Munich, London, and Paris per year Ongoing digital content across LinkedIn, email, and WhatsApp Our goal is to welcome two million active members into our communities by 2034. Check out LEADERS IN CONSULTING and Level Up HR as prime examples. Your tasks Purpose of the Role and Why This Job Matters Your writing directly shapes how top-level executives learn, connect, and engage with our French-language communities. This role exists for two core reasons. First, to deliver meaningful insights to senior leaders: you craft content that provides clarity, inspiration, and real value to French-speaking decision-makers at major organizations. Second, to attract new executives into our communities: your content helps French-speaking leaders discover what we do, understand the value we create, and convert into active community members. The quality, consistency, and reach of your writing directly influence our credibility and growth in French-speaking markets. What Success Looks Like (Measured) Your French-language content generates relevant interactions from our target personas on LinkedIn and via newsletter Deliverables are on time and require minimal revisions You improve your output over time with better hooks, higher engagement, and sharper formatting You understand the audience and write for decision-makers, not for algorithms What You Will Work On You will create compelling written content in French, primarily from existing material such as podcast recordings, event insights, and interview transcripts. This includes: LinkedIn posts that capture attention and drive engagement among senior professionals Email newsletters that are insightful and well-structured Podcast show notes and episode descriptions Deep-dive case studies based on expert interviews Interview preparation materials including agendas and key questions Your profile Language Native proficiency in French is a strict requirement, as this is the core of the role. Working knowledge of English is helpful for internal communication (B2 level sufficient). German is not required. Experience At least 3 years of copywriting or content writing experience, ideally in a B2B or digital media context A strong portfolio demonstrating French-language writing across formats (LinkedIn posts, newsletters, long-form) is required Experience writing for professional or executive audiences is a strong plus Skills & Tools Comfortable using GenAI tools to enhance efficiency without compromising quality Familiarity with tools like Claude/ChatGPT, Gsuite, Clickup, Sanity or Slack is a plus Traits Reliable, structured, and proactive. You deliver without being chased Confident in communicating with community hosts and managing deadlines independently Strong sense for tone and audience. You write differently for a CFO than for a general readership Detail-oriented without sacrificing speed Open to feedback and focused on continuous improvement Comfortable on LinkedIn and familiar with what drives engagement on the platform Red Flags Inconsistent quality or missed deadlines Writing that sounds generic or ignores the target audience Dependence on heavy briefing for every single piece No strong, relevant French writing portfolio Rejectance/Avoidance of AI tools Benefits Steep Learning & Great Insights See inside a fast-paced, internationally oriented scale-up while writing for and about senior leaders from major companies.
