- Strong organisational skills and reliability with deadline-driven monthly tasks
- Warm and precise communication with fluency in German and business level English
- Strong problem solving skills - we require someone who relishes the challenge of making the figures balance
- Process driven with the ability to see mundane tasks through to their completion
- Experience with tools like Brightpearl (ERP), Shopify, Amazon is a bonus (training provided).
Most importantly: you're trustworthy, reliable, and bring a strong teamwork attitude. We're a close-knit team and we value culture fit greatly.
