Marketing Associate
Who is Understory?
Understory exists to make it easy and convenient to run an experience business that connects humans and creates memories.
We build the operating system for experience creators, from workshops and tours to creative studios, so the business side gets simpler and the customer experience gets better. Stories matter more than stuff, and the product should reflect that.
We are a Series A-funded SaaS company with 600+ customers across the Nordics and Europe, and a team of around 60 across Aarhus and Copenhagen. We move fast with clear ownership and high standards.
The team
This position is for the Grow team. Grow helps experience businesses turn demand into bookings through high-quality paid campaigns and continuous improvements before and after the click. Customers do not just get ads, they get a repeatable way to learn what works, improve performance over time, and grow with more clarity.

As a Marketing Associate in the Grow team, you will help scale our productized advertising service by ensuring high-quality, reliable execution across client campaigns.
This is a role for someone who takes pride in precision and operational excellence. You will work with structured templates, SOPs, and task lists to ensure campaigns go live on time and with consistent quality.

Support ongoing performance reviews and light ops automation work
What Success Looks Like
In your first 3 months, you will:
Master our templates and workflows
Deliver assets with minimal rework
Execute campaign updates reliably and on time
Proactively flag blockers and improve small inefficiencies
What We’re Looking For
Strong attention to detail and pride in clean execution
Reliable and structured in meeting deadlines
Comfortable following clear processes
Curious and eager to learn new tools
Native in either Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, or Italian, and full professional proficiency in English
Nice to have:
Experience with Canva or Figma
Familiarity with Airtable, Zapier, or HubSpot
Basic understanding of paid advertising
Completed studies in a relevant field
Professional experience in the performance marketing space
Why Join Understory?
Clear responsibility and high standards
