• You are highly entrepreneurial and take full ownership of diverse tasks
• You’re ambitious, resilient and willing to work hard in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment
• You’re a strong team player while you also proactively step up to lead initiatives when needed

• You have excellent written and verbal communication skills in German & English.
• Free team dinner (up to 4x/week)
