Founded in 1996, mobile.de disrupted the status quo of buying and selling cars with the first online vehicle marketplace, driven by the idea to create something new. As a driver of change for growth and innovation, we became more than just a platform. We are an ecosystem of skilled and entrepreneurially minded people, a community to unite sellers and buyers. As the No 1 marketplace in Germany we closely cooperate with a powerful network of around 42,000 dealers and connect them with almost 17 million unique users per month.
Mobile.de is part of Adevinta: a global online classifieds specialist and
sustainability leader
with 40+ products in 15 countries.
What you’ll do & Who you are
For years Mobile.de has been on an exciting transformation of bringing data products and the value they provide even further into the heart of our company. One key aspect of this is our implementation of data mesh principles, namely data as a product, decentralised data ownership, self-service platforming and federated governance. As part of this journey, we are looking for a highly skilled Data Transformation Manager (d/f/m) to become part of the mobile.de Data Strategy leadership team.
The Data Strategy teams transform the way mobile.de works with data by facilitating our company's organisational transformation, guiding other teams in taking ownership, driving standards and providing easy access to high-quality & unified data for all our colleagues. By joining us you will help us to drive faster, better decision making and create products that bring more value to our customers. If you are passionate about data (mesh) and want to work at the edge between exciting technology and organisational development, you are exactly who we are looking for!
As a team we are crazy about data and technology – but since we spend 8 hours a day together we want to have some fun as well. We take time for regular socialising opportunities to keep up the spirit with activities like regular mood check-ins, game sessions, themed zoom backgrounds or outdoor 1:1s. As a result we have a friendly, open team dynamics and enjoy working together to push our company’s limits!
