For the night from Thursday to Sunday.

An old van, a few euros in your pocket and a desire for independence. That's all it takes to get started.

Because every course of study comes to an end at some point, Mirco and Lorenz asked themselves the big question in 2002: Where to go with the meaning of life? The answer: Where they like to be themselves - in their favorite café, their favorite bar or directly on the beach. A cola was needed - as a cultural asset, not as a mass-produced product. No sooner said than done, the recipe was developed - not too sweet, but with plenty of caffeine to be able to take a lot of the night with you. Plus black and white faces printed on beer bottles, with a name as honestly Hanseatic as the cosmopolitan homeland. Allow me, fritz.

Today we are a little bigger, spritzers and lemonades have been added, the glass bottles are small and the contents have of course remained the same. The journey continues. To all those who go through life awake. Because the world belongs to the awake.

For our fritz headquarter in Hamburg, we are looking for you to start as soon as possible as a full-time

Your role:

• Together with your team you develop and implement the Culture & People strategy fitting to fritz and its ambitious growth and organizational development. Thereby you ensure that this strategy is aligned with and supported by the leadership team and main stakeholders and is in line with the overall strategy.
• You are the inspiring leader for your team - you manage on eye-level and develop the team and individual talent. You lead a team of >14 headcounts, thereof 5 direct reports.

• Cultural fit is just as important as skills and experience. If you will feel comfortable in a rather informal, non-hierarchical environment, have a strong sense of responsibility and creative drive and share the company's values, especially regarding sustainability and a healthy company culture, always thinking long-term instead of optimizing only for the short term, then you are the one!  
• You have an entrepreneurial thinking, can-do attitude and growth mindset – Great –this is as equally important as empathy, team spirit, talent development and empowerment.
• You work fact-based, feel at home in analytics, represent your own opinion (towards the management team as well as towards all stakeholders) and make clear forward-looking decisions, whilst inspiring and engaging people.
• You love to brainstorm new ideas and execute them - to make fritz-kola just this little bit more special – and the fritzees as part of a community where they live up to their full potential.
• You feel at home communicating both in English and in German. Even if we strive for Europe, and we are growing, our business is still (at least short-term) mainly Germany-driven.
• You are located or willing to be based in Hamburg – with the possibility to work from home one-two days a week.
