Soft Skills & Independence: Highly organized with a sharp eye for detail, the ability to work independently as our sole local representative, and excellent communication skills to collaborate with internal stakeholders, OEM partners, and external advisors
Languages: Professional German (essential for reading local financial statements and HGB compliance) and fluent English (group working language).
Location Flexibility: Based in (or open to hybrid working in) London or Munich.

Great to Have (Desirables)
