Bactera is a biomedical startup in the field of microbiome diagnostics. As we are currently entering the final preparation phase before market launch, we are building our communication channels from the ground up. We are looking for a committed and creative Social Media Manager / Content Creator (m/f/d) as part of a mandatory internship (Pflichtpraktikum).

This is an unpaid internship for a minimum of three months and is fully remote, with in-person meetings approximately once per month (including team dinner).

This is a unique opportunity to become part of a highly promising biomedical startup from the very beginning and potentially grow into a long-term team member.

You will be responsible for establishing and developing our social media presence across relevant platforms (LinkedIn, Instagram, and potentially TikTok and YouTube). You will work directly with the founding team and contribute both strategically and operationally to our communication approach.

We are looking for someone who combines creativity with analytical thinking and who understands how to translate scientific topics into accessible, high-quality content.

• Development and implementation of a social media strategy for a biomedical startup
• Creation of educational and scientifically grounded content on microbiome research
• Production of short-form content, including AI-generated video formats
• Planning and management of posting schedules
• Community management and interaction with followers
• Monitoring, analysis, and reporting of channel performance
• Continuous refinement of brand positioning and audience growth

• Enrolled student (m/f/d) in Marketing, Communication, Media Studies, Digital Media, Business, or a comparable program
• Mandatory internship required by your study regulations (Pflichtpraktikum)
• Strong interest in science, health, biotechnology, or digital health
• Experience in content creation and social media management
• Familiarity with AI-based content tools and video editing software
• Structured, independent working style
• Excellent German and good English skills

• Direct involvement in building the communication strategy of a biomedical startup
• High level of responsibility from day one
• Close collaboration with the founding team
• Flexible working arrangements
• A professional, science-driven environment with significant growth potential
• Free use of our microbiome analysis services or access at a significantly reduced rate (up to 80% discount), providing personal insight into our technology

If the collaboration is successful, there is the possibility after three months to transition into:

• A part-time contract
• A student assistant (SHK) contract
• A long-term permanent position as the company grows

This position offers substantial development opportunities in a company entering a highly relevant and expanding field of personalized microbiome diagnostics.

Please send your CV and a short motivation letter (both in EN language) to info@bactera.de or directly through this website. We look forward to hearing from motivated individuals who want to be part of a very promising startup.

Bactera is a young biomedical startup focused on microbiome diagnostics. We are building our company around the idea that complex biological data should not only be scientifically accurate, but also understandable and useful for real people.

Our first service, Microbiome 360°, will launch in Q1 2026 and provides comprehensive microbiome sequencing combined with clear, structured interpretation of the results.

In the long term, we plan to expand our work toward microbiota-based therapeutic approaches. For us, scientific quality, transparency, and responsible communication are central to everything we do.

Applications from refugees are welcome, provided they are enrolled at a university and meet the formal requirements for a mandatory internship.
