Starting @Chemovator, I not only received a very warm welcome by my colleagues, but also a clear set of tasks to start with. Starting from  day one, you are empowered to take action in your field of work and think beyond the existing. I really appreciate the honest and direct way of communication. 

Ricarda Schulte

  Senior Associate Venture Portfolio Management

Joining the Chemovator team was an ideal start into my professional career. This is not only due to the familiar atmosphere among colleagues and a high degree of flexibility, but also because I have the freedom to work independently and take on responsibility from the very beginning, which has allowed me to further evolve both professionally and personally.

Julia Jakob

Marketing & Communication Manager

From the initial interview through my first day at Chemovator, I experienced a remarkable level of transparency regarding the role's expected outcomes. The team continuously empowers me to surpass these objectives, fostering a collaborative environment where we all work harmoniously towards a shared vision. The absence of a rigid hierarchy coupled with clear expectations truly enhances the feeling of collective dedication towards a common goal.

What I like about my work at Chemovator is the great cooperation within the team. You're on the same wavelength and move things forward together. In addition, you come into contact with many interesting people from the start-up scene and get to know a lot, both personally and professionally.
