    different time zones
    (Europe, Asia, and North America).
  • Strong communication skills in
    German and English
    (spoken and written); other languages such as French, Spanish, or Italian are an asset.
  • Independent, detail-oriented, and efficient, with a positive and collaborative attitude.

Why You'll Love Working Here

  • Join a
    globally recognized company in the art world
    with an open, family-like culture where everyone knows one another.
  • Enjoy a lively workplace with creative energy, international colleagues, and occasional travel for meetings abroad (e.g., the U.S.).
