We're growing, becoming stronger, and looking for The Voice of Puzl CowOrKing Sofia! [Maternity Cover]

Wait, what?

More in particular it’s a hybrid of a creative Co-Lead with a black belt in marketing, a community builder with passion for events and partnerships, we can even say a brand designer.  All of this with the heart and the soul of a DO-er.

This is Maternity Cover position as our current Voice [aka the person writing this text] is going to be absent for 1-1,5-2 years [who knows!] But worry not, if we like you and you like us, and you wish to stay in the long run, there's plenty of things cooking in the pot and our minds are set on expanding the team.

Back on track - you’ll be in charge of all our Sofia online [and offline] communication, PR and marketing activites, advise us on product and service development, keep an eye out on what's happening in the coworking market and make sure our community is connected, collaborative and set up for growth within and out of the Puzl walls.

You’ll be working closely with your Co-Lead called the Navigator and with a Content Creator to make sure we keep out existing presence and connections in the local IT ecosystem. And further - make them even stronger.

To succeed in this role, you should be able to think creatively and think in solutions rather than theory. We believe in unconventional marketing, the power of the community, partnerships and collaboration - that’s why you’ll probably not run paid advertisement campaigns on Facebook while you are at Puzl. You’ll have to find much better tools and stories with us that’ll help us stand out from the rest.

Who we are

Ah, right! We should probably explain. In short, we're a group of enthusiastic humans who are building IT-only coworking spaces for IT humans across CEE. We started 8 years ago with 70 members. Now we are more than 1,000 and freshly expanding to Budapest this year.

We have audacious goals fueled by passion and we achieve them through craftsmanship and collaboration. Learn more about all that at puzl.com
