  • You are very structured about how to prioritize work and time
  • You bring a high-level of proactivity as well as a get-stuff-done mentality 
  • Your workstyle is diligent and you like analytical tasks, but you’re also happy to do manual tasks if they are needed to move the company forward
  • You have proven the ability to quickly learn new things
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills in English are a must, German language skills are a nice to have
Your Learnings
  • Get a firsthand view into management and operations of one of Europe's fastest growing startups, which will set you up to move into a senior leadership role at Personio after 1-2 years or to found your own startup with the experience you gained
  • Take over responsibility of strategic projects at Personio with a diverse groups of project members, honing your management and leadership skills
  • Be a part of Personio’s Business Operations Circle, a group of senior business operations professionals, represent the CEO Office and help organize and structure the work of the group
