People-first leadership mindset: You know that sustained performance begins with empowered people, and you have a track record of developing high-performing teams through empathy, clarity, and support.
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.
