  • Native or near-native fluency in German and English, both written and spoken.
  • Strong international background, ideally with experience living outside Germany.
  • Proven track record in financial communications for internationally-active, publicly-listed companies.

  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and projects in a fast-paced environment and to tight deadlines.
  • Experience in crisis communications and working with diverse, globally-dispersed teams.
