Vacancies

German Marketing and Front Office employee

Your day at Lightswing, obviously, starts with a good cup of coffee. You catch up with your colleagues and dive into the German service support mailbox. You answer customer service questions and handle the phone when a German customer calls. Next stop is Amazon. You check if the orders came through to our back office system and that everything is running smoothly. There are a few customer service questions and you handle those. Right before, a reseller calls. The reseller would like to place a new order and as you handling his request, you check if all the information on their website is still up to date. In the afternoon it is time for a strategy meeting; how are we going to realise growth within the German market? Great timing because you have tons of ideas.
