Marketing & Communications Specialist
Sofyne Active Technology.com
Office
Lyon, France
Full Time
Saphir Group (with subsidiaries Sofyne and SCAL) is the leading Industry 4.0 services provider in Europe and beyond. We are growing fast and want to strengthen the visibility of our brands, while also bringing our post-merger culture to life.
That’s why we’re looking for a Marketing & Communications Specialist who enjoys a varied role:
- Externally, you’ll build the branding of Saphir, Sofyne and SCAL, mainly through LinkedIn and marketing collateral.
- Internally, you’ll connect with our colleagues at Saphir through creative communications and inspiring employer branding.
In short: you’ll be both our voice to the outside and the connector on the inside. You’ll work closely with our Campaign Manager (strategy & agency coordination) and CMO, while making a hands-on impact yourself.
What You Will Do:
External communication & marketing support (50%)
- Manage and plan the LinkedIn channels for Saphir, Sofyne and SCAL.
- Write and publish posts in Dutch, French and English (approx. 2 posts/week per brand).
- Design smaller visuals in Canva (social posts, slides, job banners, light collateral).
- Adapt or create marketing collateral based on partner and internal materials (presentations, flyers, case studies).
- Monitor social media.
- Support event and campaign communication (announcements, highlights, recaps).
- Provide ad hoc support to the CMO (presentations, mailings, press releases).
Internal communication & employer branding (50%) – Saphir
- Write and distribute internal newsletters and intranet updates.
- Prepare and support communication for internal events and townhalls.
- Highlight colleagues’ stories and successes (testimonials, project spotlights, photos).
- Collaborate with HR to translate job posts into engaging social content and visuals.
- Create employer branding posts around onboarding, holidays, culture & values.
- Support HR initiatives such as job fairs or internal campaigns (wellbeing, learning, diversity).
What You Bring:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Marketing, Communications or similar.
- 3–4 years of experience in a marketing or communications role.
- Fluency in English, French and Dutch is a pre not a necessity (written and spoken).
- Experience with LinkedIn in a professional context (B2B is a plus).
- Skilled in Canva with an eye for visual storytelling.
- Strong writing and editing skills, with a good sense for tone-of-voice.
- Able to work independently while collaborating effectively with HR, the Campaign Manager and CMO.
- Enthusiastic, flexible and proactive: you enjoy balancing planning, creating and doing.
What We Offer:
- A broad and varied role where you will make a real impact.
- The chance to strengthen our external brands (Saphir, Sofyne, SCAL) while shaping the internal culture of Saphir.
- Collaboration with an experienced CMO and Senior Campaign Manager, plus external agencies for design & digital marketing.
- Space to use your creativity and communication skills – and to further develop them.
- An international environment in full growth, with colleagues across Europe and the US.
- A competitive compensation package and opportunities for training.
