What you will do

• Extend functionalities to enable new opportunities
• Automate and innovate our existing inventory (our API product is already used by big players)
• Own scoping and management of onboarding new carriers; establish wider scope throughout Asia
• Take a lead role in defining and challenging strategic decisions
• Contribute to the team with process improvements (e.g. Jira, reporting, etc.)
• Build relationships with key stakeholders (internal/external – C-level)

Workplace: Berlin & Hybrid; or Remote

We are a remote-first international company with team members spread around the world. We are looking to hire the best talent around the Globe, so wherever you are, feel free to reach out. If, however, you prefer working onsite/hybrid, our heart is in Berlin, one of the biggest and most vibrant tech hubs in Europe, and we are happy to assist with relocation.
