Managing projects

Look behind the scenes:

What can you do and why?

I know how to track, structure and delegate tasks. I support my creative colleagues with their creative jobs by sparing them from the annoying non-creative chores, and (hopefully) I motivate them. I like to keep track of things and on occasion make problems disappear. My good decision-making skills help me do that. Also, I like to keep an eye on the figures (key terms: in time, in budget, in money).

Why I can do this? Because they let me do my thing.

Experience is a good thing, too:

How long have you been with stodt?

Since 2017

Customers, machines, pixels, a warm office or coffee:

Why are you passionate about your job?

My activities are extremely varied. One day is never like the last, and I am completely free to organise my tasks and work days. I run my projects independently, and the company places enormous trust in me. I like the mix of organisational, strategic, numbers-based but also creative work. But the best part: working in a team! I can’t imagine doing a job that isn’t based on teamwork. The fact that in this case it’s creative teamwork – jackpot!

Be honest, but not so honest we have to censor your answer:

What gets on your nerves sometimes?

When I lose my sacred notebook for the nth time in a day. And unfortunately also: When everyone wants a piece of me at the same time – the phone rings constantly, e-mails arrive by the second, Teams escalates ... And then if I don’t have my notebook, it’s all a drag!
