Who are we looking for?

What kind of leader are you?
At DVJ, leadership is not just about managing results. We expect our Market Leads to provide clear direction and accountability while creating an environment in which people can perform, develop and enjoy their work.
You coach rather than micromanage, give clear and constructive feedback and create a culture of trust and openness. You are comfortable with change and ambiguity, think beyond your own market and lead by example in the way you communicate and collaborate. Our values – Responsibility, Positivity, Willingness to Succeed, and Passion & Knowledge – are reflected in how you lead your team and work with clients.
What do we offer?
You will join DVJ in a key leadership position with significant influence on the future of our German business. You will have the opportunity to further develop an established market, build strong client partnerships and shape a high-performing team, while being part of an international organisation with ambitious growth plans.
You will work closely with colleagues across our European offices and with specialists in research, consultancy and commercial development.
