A from-scratch role: you lay the foundations of the Data Partnerships function - everything is to be built
A European playground: OEMs, insurers, DMS, public institutions - a rich and stimulating scope for an automotive data expert

🥳2 team offsites per year
Twice a year, we bring the whole team together for inspiring and fun moments: one in spring, one in autumn.
We are a high-performance company. We never confuse motion (being busy) with progress (delivering results). We believe that working with excellent colleagues is the best social benefit we can offer. Excellence is not optional - it is our baseline.
In many companies, when there is a problem, people look for who to blame. Here, we look for the solution. "Ownership" means acting as if it were your own money and your own company. There is no "not my job". If you see a piece of trash on the floor, you pick it up. If you see a bug, you make sure it's flagged.
"We act with honesty, consistency, and professional courage."
Within a team, integrity means that each person is accountable for their performance, attitude and the impact of their behavior on the collective. We support each other, we play as a team and we look after one another, while acknowledging that trust is built through reliability, contribution and respect for standards. Integrity means saying things with clarity and respect, even when it's uncomfortable. It means aligning words with actions, welcoming feedback, and understanding that everyone has to earn their place on the field through commitment and behavior. We believe that kindness without demand leads to complacency, and that demand without kindness leads to tyranny. Integrity is that balance.
The world is changing too fast to rest on past achievements. DotWorld is a school. Our promise is simple: you will work hard, but in 2 years you will have gained 5 years of professional experience. We value the learning curve (the slope) over past experience (the starting point).
