We design and conceptualise meaningful digital products and individual brand experiences and look forward to meeting people who are also interested in state-of-the-art products. 

An employer of substance
The foundation of our work

As a studio for digital products and brand experiences, we transform brand strategies into digital customer experiences. Thanks to intensive collaboration with our project partners, we quickly develop a deep understanding of brands, processes, and organizations, advising on future digital presence, which we then implement through mutual exchange. Throughout the entire process, team-developed values are important to us, without which we could no longer envision collaborative work

We rely on individual responsibility

We not only embrace a high level of responsibility towards our products and processes, but we also aim to collaborate flexibly, freely, and with a sense of personal responsibility. We care for each other, considering individual and team-aligned working methods. 

We are a culture of open feedback

We provide positive feedback and express gratitude, but we also openly and fairly address challenges and problems. Constructive feedback is, for us, a part of an appreciative culture that, in our opinion, promotes personal development and strengthens self-confidence.

We love it at eye level

We communicate openly, honestly, and directly with each other, never about each other. Every opinion is valued, and bringing in personal perspectives is expressly encouraged. A sustainable development of our corporate culture is of great importance to us.

Daily Business
What will you do as Product Lead at Format D?

In your role, you will lead a self-organising project team and coordinate product development, product support and support processes. You will take responsibility for your customers and their products, as well as actively managing further development measures with your team. Therefore, you collect the requirements from the customer and prepare them in our ticket system and code repository Gitlab so that the team can work with them. You coordinate the processes within our agile organisation and work according to SCRUM methods.

 

You are the direct point of contact and confidant for your customers, maintain a partnership at eye level and prioritize tasks, coordinate timings and always keep an eye on the budget. The quality of the products, customer satisfaction and the balance in your team are your top priority and you have an overview of the agreed framework conditions for cooperation. You help to ensure that we improve every day and continue to develop in terms of our quality, processes and corporate culture.

 

A good fit 

Why you fit

We understand that one can never know everything and that the concept of the 'jack of all trades' is quite old-fashioned and unrealistic. We value not a polished resume, but above all, a good human fit and your willingness to actively contribute.

 

  • You have already gained experience in project management according to SCRUM or as a product owner in agile organisational structures
  • You are characterised by high quality standards and a passion for digital products
  • In an interdisciplinary team, you conscientiously take responsibility for your tasks, team members and customers without losing sight of the big picture and the goals of Format D
  • In your eyes, the exchange with strategy, design and development is an enrichment and speaking the same language is a benefit for the product
  • You are empathetic and enjoy approaching other people
  • Working in a team is essential for you, both with your internal team and with your customers

And now?
Your Journey to and with us

You are welcome to call Carina or send her an email. Just send us what you would like to share with us about yourself. A few additional words about you as a person, your expectations, and wishes would also be appreciated. 

Together with the team, we will review your application and get in touch with you once we have initial feedback. Typically, you can expect to hear from us within about one week. 

Carina will tell you a bit more about us, our working methods and our products in an initial conversation. She will surely 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, for positions in Development, a short coding 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 always important to us that we fit together both professionally and personally. That's why we take a lot of time to get to know each other and are of course more than happy if there's a match! We then simply discuss the rest together so that we can all look forward to a great future together!

If you're unsure whether the position is the right fit, reach out to Carina, and let's figure it out together. We look forward to hearing from you!
