Working in a global marketing team offers an extremely dynamic experience. Close collaboration with my colleagues from Germany brings in fresh perspectives and new ideas, fostering a very motivating and creative work environment. 💙
We have regular virtual meetings, for example our weekly OKR Update or our Monday Check-in and to stay connected we also like to set-up coworking sessions. It's always our goal to ensure seamless information sharing and idea exchange, Regardless of the distance or different time zones.
I think the awareness that we are working in a global team has led to us being even more considerate of each other, making the best use of our shared time frame and very much appreciating the contribution and strengths of each individual. We have each other's backs, stand up for one another and always try to set a good example when it comes to working together in an international team. This sense of teamwork and responsibility, coupled with the privilege of working on campaigns that can positively impact and change an entire industry, is extremely rewarding for me and always inspires me to do my best.
What's your favorite thing about working at a tech scale-up?
One of the aspects I love most about working at a tech scale-up is the invaluable experience it offers, especially for someone like me who is still in the early stages of their career. The fast-paced and dynamic environment of a scale-up provides a unique learning opportunity that simply can't be replicated elsewhere.
Being part of a smaller, tightly knit team allows me to wear multiple hats and take on responsibilities beyond my initial role. This exposure to various aspects of the business has tremendously accelerated my professional growth. It's a place where ideas are welcomed, and the contributions of each team member are highly valued. This not only boosts my confidence but also empowers me to voice my thoughts and make a real impact on the company's trajectory.
What do you enjoy most about your role?
It is verty hard to pinpoint just one thing...
I love that I have the opportunity to be involved in the strategizing and planning of campaigns and different marketing initiatives. For someone early in their career like me, it is not very common to be involved in this type of strategic stage and get to have such a voice in bigger decisions.
