• Review existing agreements for compliance, cost-effectiveness, and relevance.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with international vendors (e.g., Bloomberg, Deutsche Börse, index providers).
• Drive process improvements with a focus on automation, standardization, and AI integration-your ideas matter!
• Prepare insightful reports for senior management.

What We're Looking For

• A degree in economics, business, or a related field-or equivalent experience with a focus on financial markets.
• Solid experience in banking or contract/license management.
• Strong communication skills in German and English.
• Ideally, experience in project management or process optimization.
• Willingness to travel occasionally.

What We Offer

• Flexible working hours within a 39-hour week.
• 30 days of annual vacation.
• A dynamic, modern work environment with a supportive team culture.
• Professional development through internal and external training programs.
• Structured onboarding with our Berenberg mentoring system.
