Employee Success Stories

Julius

Jana

“I’m glad that I joined fotograf.de at the beginning of my career. They have really opened lots of doors for me.”

Julius went from marketing intern to Chief Revenue Officer in just two years.

He earned a liberal arts degree in literature before discovering that he was interested in a more business-related career path. So he landed an internship position in marketing at our company which opened some exciting doors. He moved on from marketing to process optimization to finally customer success. But it didn’t take long for others to notice his real passion and talent – that of managing people. Today Julius is responsible for a team of 25 people in Marketing, Sales, and Business Development. It’s his mission to keep his team in tip-top shape so as to best help the company grow.

“I learned a lot here and got to try so many different things. There’s always the trust and freedom to do that.”

Jana is one of the first employees to relocate to our new office in New York. Being initially hired for performance marketing, she now heads up the entire marketing for the US market.

Jana has a Cultural Studies and American Studies degree but specalized in performance marketing in her previous job. Since joining us in January 2018 she has been playing a key role in establishing scalable processes in performance marketing. However, her job always allowed to work on a variety of other marketing projects, which ultimately sparked her interest in general marketing as well. When she was offered the opportunity to join the US team, she happily took on this new challenge. Jana is currently leading all of our marketing campaigns in the US and is excited that she can build something from the start.
Looking back, what’s most important for her is the fact that she found a workplace where she feels comfortable to voice her opinion, where she feels appreciated, and where she is able to continue to learn professionally and personally day after day.

How does the recruiting process work?

Firstly, your Talent Acquisition team will schedule a video interview with you in order to see if our expectation are aligned.

After successful completion of the trial task, we will schedule an in-depth interview with your future team lead which will have a strong focus on the actual role and your skills.

Ultimately, team fit is what matters to us. This is why we’ll invite you to a short and final Peer interview. You will have the opportunity to learn more about how it is to be an employee in our organisation and get some insights into our day-to-day life.

  • Ownership/Accountability

Most importantly, we want people who work together with the team towards a shared mission.

If you participate in our Trial Task/Test questions,  we will try our best to provide you with some individual feedback.
