You are a social and communicative person who is great at building relationships, therefore you enjoy working cross-functional where you get to know different parts of the organisation. You have a strong sense of responsibility and are an energetic and creative self-starter who flourish when working in an established and global, yet fast-paced and ever-changing environment. You love to roll up your sleeves, and have several projects going on at the same time and you are a hardcore team-player.
But most importantly, we think you have the personality to fit a somewhat crazy, fun work environment where we believe in color and playfulness, a place where you can expect the unexpected and you are a source of creative weirdness.
Interested, and fitting into this profile? We would love to hear from you as soon as possible since we’re going through applications continually!
