- Analytical and adaptable: You understand how to apply and evolve performance tools and reporting structures in complex, fragmented markets.
- Curious and collaborative: You’re open-minded, creative, and committed to helping others grow, actively supporting team members through challenges and change.
- Multilingual communicator and connector: You communicate clearly and convincingly in English (required), ideally in German, and can build strong networks across countries and functions. Other European languages are a plus.
