You develop sound knowledge in the following areas: Customer service & locker management Collection of goods and goods Cash Processes & Omnichannel Services Leadership begins to understand the details and take responsibility. Be willing to be active and immerse yourself in everyday operational life. Most of your learning takes place directly on the sales area and not in the office: close to the product, team and customers

As a supervisor, you take first leadership responsibility in the daily business, train colleagues and bear responsibility for the sales performance.

From the team leader to the driving force in business, your leadership becomes visible here. You are confronted with crisis situations and individual needs of employees. Discipline and problem-solving capability are crucial to master complex situations and ensure an excellent customer experience. This rotation may, if beneficial for your development, require a location-related move within Germany. Throughout the 12 months you will receive career mentoring, participate in business workshops with our COO and will be invited to our European Leadership Convention. These experiences lay the foundation for your long-term success.
What you will win during the 12 months At the end of the program you have a strong combination of business, operational and leadership skills – focusing on communication, customer orientation, entrepreneurial thinking and resilience.
