About this job

Started in Cologne, we are now active throughout NRW and are growing consciously with a focus on quality, efficiency, and customer benefit.

Our clients -- from individual brokers to large real estate companies -- rely on clear processes, fast delivery, and consistently high quality in our broad product portfolio.

We don't just produce media; we create real added value for marketing and always think one step ahead. Our claim: to take over the complete media production at a high level, so that our clients can concentrate on their core business.

We think along - and outside the box.

In our current growth phase, you will support us in all essential operational areas -- from daily order processing and coordination of internal and external stakeholders to the further development of our structures.

The position is designed for the long term and offers clear development prospects up to a leading role in the operational area.

• "Doer" mentality with high self-motivation, sense of responsibility, and a drive to shape things
• Strong technical understanding and pronounced process thinking
• ! High IT affinity: You work software-based, efficiently, and use modern tools specifically for managing and optimizing business processes
• Willingness and ability to analyze existing processes, check them for efficiency, and develop them further in a structured manner, possibly re-establishing them
• Deep understanding of change management, especially in the context of growth, scaling, and organizational development
• Ideally, experience in or strong interest in supporting company building and sustainable growth
• Good English skills

Benefits

• The opportunity to actively accompany a rapidly growing company and become part of a sustainable success story
• Long-term development perspective with a clear option to realize your personal leadership goal up to operational management
• Fair and performance-based compensation
• Flexible, location-independent work - combined with the willingness to travel to personal sessions in Cologne -- ideally, you live in NRW or are always flexible to travel
• Direct exchange and close collaboration with the business owners -- benefit from their extensive experience in company founding, scaling, and the technical IT environment
• Short decision-making paths, honest communication, and real scope for action
• An appreciative environment with a high communication frequency and strong team spirit -- even during remote work!

We care not only about what you can do, but above all about who you are.

We are looking for you as a person -- someone who fits IMMO PICTURES, internalizes our values, and is highly motivated to grow with us.

We want to get to know you, understand your goals, ambitions, and motivation, and find out how we can take the next step together. If you want to take responsibility, seek scope for action, and want to be part of a company that grows consciously and thinks long-term, we look forward to hearing from you!
