Says Gordon: "We got a product called excitement points – the rare moments where companies excite people. We are looking for someone to join us. That someone needs to be happy working with data and turning them into stories. So a bit of an analytical brain as well as a creative one. Delivering that product to clients who are very often in the C-Level (but also are very lovely :-)). 2-5 years job experience sound about right and background in a consultancy or agency won’t hurt. Fluent German and English is a must." Is that you? Then please do give us a shout. Do you know that person? Please do give us a shout. Want to help? Feel free to share that post.
