Account Managerin

As a account manager, I support the account management team of the DACH market as a kind of "special force" and work independently on various projects that make the account managers' daily work easier. From the very beginning, I have been given a high amount of personal responsibility and trust. Trust is not just something that is said lapidary, but is lived throughout the entire company. I particularly like the New Work policy at Trusted Shops. I love the possibility to work from anywhere and I can hardly wait to leave south during winter. Although I live about 500 kilometres away from Cologne, I feel very connected to my team. Even beyond that, all my colleagues have been extremely supportive and open towards me, and at the end of the day it often feels like I'm working with friends - I've never experienced that before.

Sales Consultant DACH

I really enjoy my daily work and like to challenge myself. Every day I learn new approaches that make the work in telesales special. I'm not a door-to-door salesperson; on the contrary, our customers are often grateful for the contact and the conversations are interesting thanks to the individuality of the industries. If you already think that sounds exciting, I can tell you that there is much more to discover. Find out for yourself.
