We keep it real – as a diverse team of talented individuals, we act together to make our world a happier place.
We are a community - not because we work together, but because we trust, respect and care for each other. We have unique passions, common goals, and a clear brand manifesto that keeps us focused. Our actions are guided by our purpose, mission, beliefs, culture, values, and everything in between. Pretty much the only thing our manifesto won’t tell you is how to play your role in our community; we have a culture of responsibility, so that is something you’ll have to figure out for yourself. But, of course, we will empower you on your journey through leadership that favors context over control.
We are inspired by the spirit of sports and strive to cultivate an active mindset in all that we do. We foster creativity and agility by embracing quick decision-making and process-light paths, so be prepared to put your ideas into action, be yourself, and bring your entrepreneurial spirit.As an Operations & Activations Manager (f/m/d), you will play a key role in both facility operations and event activations at the adidas Sports Base in Berlin.
