An Employer of choice
Values we define together
Professional work and great relationships don’t happen by chance. Our values, which we have developed and embraced together as a team in workshops, shape the way we treat our clients, our colleagues, and ourselves.
We rely on personal responsibility
We not only take great responsibility for our products and processes, but we also aim to work flexibly, freely, and with personal accountability. We care for each other and respect individual work styles that are aligned with the team.
We practice an open feedback culture
We provide positive feedback and express gratitude, but we also address challenges and issues openly and fairly. Constructive feedback is an essential part of a culture of appreciation and, in our opinion, fosters personal development and strengthens self-confidence.
We love working on equal terms
We communicate openly, honestly, and directly with each other, never behind each other's backs. Every opinion is valued, and contributing personal perspectives is explicitly encouraged. Sustainable development of our company culture is something we deeply care about.
Daily Business
What are you doing at Format D?
As the first point of contact for new customers and potential partners, you will process enquiries and conduct initial discussions to find out more about projects, brands and potential collaborations. As part of active customer acquisition, you identify and approach potential customers in a targeted manner and create customised presentations, solutions and individual offers.
You will accompany the entire introductory process from initial contact to commissioning and handover to the project team. You are the driving force in every sales situation and know exactly how to not only advise customers but also retain them in the long term.
You will build a customer network around Format D that is based on mutual trust, close cooperation and added value.
A good fit
Why you fit

Your journey to and with us
Feel free to call Carina or send her an email. Just send us whatever you'd like to share about yourself. A few additional words about you as a person, your expectations, and wishes would also be appreciated - also about your desired salary.
Together with the team, we will review your application and get back to you as soon as we have initial feedback. Usually, you can expect to hear from us within about a week.
Carina will tell you a little more about us, our working methods and our products in an initial interview. She will probably also want to find out more about you. Depending on which area you are applying for, this will be followed by a deep dive and a short experience with people from the respective team. Preferably in person at our office, of course, so that you can get to know the rest of the team.
It is important to us that we are a good fit both professionally and personally. Therefore, we take our time to get to know each other and are, of course, thrilled if there’s a match! We’ll then discuss the next steps together, so we can all look forward to a great future!
