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 do you do as Product Lead at Format D?
In your role, you will use the SCRUM methodology to lead a self-organising project team as part of our agile organisation. As a Mirror Product Owner, you will coordinate both product development and product support in the further development process.
You take responsibility for your customers and their products, as well as actively managing further development measures with your team. Together with our Strategy Consultants, you will collect the requirements from the customer and prepare them in our GitLab ticket system and code repository so that you can work efficiently as a team.
For us, customers are part of the team! You are their direct point of contact and confidant, maintain a partnership at eye level, prioritise 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 maintain an overview of the agreed framework conditions of a collaboration.
You will play an active role in ensuring that we continue to develop in terms of our quality, processes and corporate culture.
A good fit
Why you fit
We understand that no one can be an expert in everything, and the idea of a 'jack-of-all-trades' is a bit old-fashioned and unrealistic. We’re not focused on a polished resume; what matters most to us is a good personal fit and your enthusiasm 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
As part of an interdisciplinary team, you conscientiously take responsibility for your tasks, team members and customers without losing sight of the big picture
In your eyes, the exchange with people from Strategy, UX/UI and Development is an enrichment and 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
Communicating with your team and your customers in German is no problem for you
Benefits
And we want to support that

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!
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.
In an initial conversation, Carina will tell you more about us, our way of working, and our products. She will surely want to learn more about you as well. Depending on the area you're applying for, there will be a deep dive, and for development positions, a small coding experience with members from the respective team. Ideally, we'd like to meet in person at our office so you can also meet 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!
