• Define – and continually refine – Klarna’s value proposition, in support of elevating the conversations with retailers.
• Develop compelling narratives that are thoughtful, impactful, and clear, highlighting Klarna’s vision for continued growth and success.
• Serve as a strategic thought partner – and an effective point of contact – to cross-functional teams and leaders across the organization, in an effort to craft narratives that fit and strengthen the overall value proposition.
• Support in building out, and packaging up, marketing assets and messages for our products and services across all of our global markets.
• Partner closely with analysts to gather and prioritize proof points to support our claims and strengthen our content, including market research and competitive data and intel.

• Expert copywriting skills, with experience crafting compelling content and messages to external audiences.
• A strong communicator with the ability to build strong relationships across the organization, and influence internal stakeholders in order to move projects forward.
• A team player who is just as comfortable crafting and leading the strategy, as you are rolling up your sleeves and executing.
• Strong project management skills; you are no stranger to spreadsheets, to-do lists, or deadlines.
• A skilled multitasker, who is not only able to manage multiple projects simultaneously, but is also able to help prioritize the work across the team, and support the overall deliverables.
• Collaboration skills: You will work with experts in various fields and are expected to bring ideas to the table.
