• If there’s one category outside tech we’ve noticed is booming, it’s mar-com, where many of the English-speaking expats we know are working.
Yes, left-brained people make money creating technology. But right-brained people have to explain it … and sell it.
Take IEE in Luxembourg City, for example. IEE makes sensor technology for auto manufacturers and needs/wants a higher consumer profile. They have an opening for Marketing Communications Manager.
Basically, the job involves developing an integrated marketing plan. In addition, you’d monitor issues, trends, news and social media conversations and react/respond with (appropriate) ideas and strategies.
