Job Description

We know development™ — and we care about yours.

At Ardena, we know development. We’re an integrated CDMO and bioanalytical CRO built for the complexity of modern drug development — and we work exclusively with the kind of molecules that keep other CDMOs up at night.

We specialise in drug product development, nanomedicine, drug substance, and bioanalytical services. For biotech companies pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, we bring the scientific depth to match: from bioavailability enhancement, HPAPIs, and controlled substances to nanoparticle-based therapeutics, one of the most technically demanding areas in drug development, where experience is everything.

With more than 700 people across five facilities in Europe and the US, we combine the responsiveness biotech teams need with the technical firepower their molecules demand. Behind every complex molecule is a patient who needs it to work. That’s why we lead with CARE — Communicative, Accountable, Reliable, and Excellent — in every program we run, every day.

That’s also how we approach the careers we build here. We know development, and we care about yours.

For our Marketing team, we are looking for a creative, versatile, and self-driven

CONTENT & COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER

Our science is complex. Your job is to make it clear, compelling, and impossible to scroll past. As our Content & Communications Manager, you turn deep expertise into stories that land — for the biotech innovators we partner with, the candidates we want to hire, and the 700 colleagues who make Ardena what it is. You write, film, design, and publish across every channel we own, working shoulder to shoulder with our scientists to bring the real expertise to the surface. If you love turning a hard idea into a great piece of content — and you’re as comfortable behind a camera as you are behind a keyboard — this one’s for you.

• Content creation: You write and produce content that gets read and shared — articles, posts, web copy, landing pages, and video — for social media, the website, and beyond.

• Sales enablement: You create campaign materials and content that arm the sales team for outreach and follow-up, turning our expertise into assets that open doors.

• Promotion campaigns: You plan and run promotional campaigns across all of our marketing channels, keeping the message consistent and the reach growing.

• Working with our experts: You coordinate with internal subject-matter experts and ambassadors to source, shape, and sign off content that’s as accurate as it is engaging.

• Video & photo: You organise and coordinate video and photo recording — from planning the shoot to delivering the final edit.

• Internal communications: You keep Ardena connected from the inside: intranet posts, the company newsletter, and internal emails that people actually want to open.

• Excellent copywriting skills — you can make complex topics clear, sharp, and on-brand

• Hands-on experience managing and creating for social media

• Experience working with WordPress (or a similar CMS)

• Video editing and design skills — comfortable in tools like Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, or equivalents

• Curious about AI and confident using AI tools to create, edit, and scale content

• Fluent in English (additional European languages are a plus)

• Experience in pharma, biotech, or life sciences is a strong plus

• Organized, self-driven, and a natural collaborator who thrives in a fast-moving, international team.

• Full-time permanent contract (indefinite).

• Competitive salary and benefits package.

• Gross annual salary range: 29.800 – 40.000€

• A broad, creative role with the freedom to own content end to end, across every channel

• A rapidly growing international company with an interesting service, product, and customer portfolio

• Direct access to world-class scientists and genuinely interesting subject matter to work with

• A dynamic working environment with great colleagues across five countries

• An open, straightforward, and caring culture that loves creative thinking and pro-activeness

• The space to take initiative and grow your career across teams, functions, and locations

• An attractive remuneration package including extra-legal benefits
