Copywriter - Fluent German

About the opportunity

We’re looking for a German-language Copywriter to join the N26 Creative Studio in Berlin or Barcelona.

You’ll play a key role in shaping how N26 speaks to millions of customers across Europe — turning complex financial topics into communication that’s attention-grabbing and easy to understand. Your main focus will be creating high-quality German campaign and marketing copy, while also contributing English writing when needed.

You’ll work closely with our German Localisation Specialist, English Copywriters, and Designers to make sure everything we put out into the world reflects a consistent voice and a high standard of craft.

The Creative Studio operates primarily in English, but this role is focused on producing exceptional German-language creative work.

In this role, you will:

• Write clear, engaging German copy across social, paid media, CRM, web, OOH, and other marketing channels.
• Develop campaign ideas, headlines, and concepts directly in German.
• Adapt and transcreate English campaigns into strong, culturally relevant German communication.
• Contribute English-language copy when needed alongside primarily German writing responsibilities.
• Collaborate closely with localisation to maintain linguistic excellence and a consistent brand voice in German.
  
  

What you need to be successful:

Background:

• Recognised qualification within the field of copywriting.
• 3+ years of professional copywriting experience at agencies, start-ups, or companies, ideally for B2C digital or tech products.
• Based in Berlin or Barcelona — or willing to relocate. This is a hybrid role with 8 days in-office days per month.

Skills:

• Exceptional German writing skills at C2+ level, with a strong portfolio demonstrating high-quality German copywriting craft.
• Professional fluency in English, as the Creative Studio collaborates and operates primarily in English.
• Ability to develop ideas, headlines, and campaign concepts directly in German — not only through translation or adaptation.
• Strong sense of clarity and brevity, with the ability to simplify complex topics into concise, customer-friendly communication.
• Deep understanding of tone of voice and ability to write consistently within a brand system.
• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy, with strong proofreading and quality-control skills.
• Proven ability to work on-brief, manage feedback constructively, and deliver high-quality work under tight deadlines.
• Comfortable balancing speed with craft in a fast-moving environment while remaining focused and calm.
  
  

Important

This role focuses on creative copywriting, so it’s best suited to candidates with experience in campaign and marketing copy rather than primarily translation or long-form content writing. Please include a portfolio (link or PDF) with examples of original German creative work.

What’s in it for you:

• Accelerate your career growth by joining one of Europe’s most talked about disruptors .
• Employee benefits that range from a competitive personal development budget, work from home budget, discounts to fitness & wellness memberships, language apps and public transportation.
• As an N26 employee you will have access to a Premium subscription on your personal N26 bank account. As well as subscriptions for friends and family members.
• Additional day of annual leave for each year of service.
• A high degree of autonomy and access to cutting edge technologies - all while working with a friendly team of peers of diverse nationalities, experiences, and backgrounds.
• A relocation package with visa support for those who need it.
