Description

• You focus on accuracy, are independent and pay attention to every detail. You enjoy owning your work and leading projects when needed;

• You place customers’ first and you make no compromise on this; 
• You enjoy being part of an inspiring team environment where ideas are shared and openness is valued. You’re comfortable and composed when either giving or receiving feedback; 
• You’re proactive and a great relationship builder, experienced at working closely with external partners as well as product development teams, including product managers and engineers; 
• Your intellectual curiosity has no limit and this is your guiding light. You have the self-awareness to understand when you don’t know something and the humility to learn; 
• You have a valid working permit in Estonia. 

Some extra skills that would be awesome:

• You've worked with product teams on cross functional projects that drive efficiency and scaling of manual work;
• You've worked in cross border team - know their challenges and how to overcome those;
