- 5 additional paid "Paws Days" per year for your personal development or spontaneous time off.
- An annual budget of €500 for your professional and personal development.

The interview process
- Initial introductory meeting with your Talent Acquisition Partner, remotely.
- Skills interview, usually also conducted remotely.
- Behaviour Interview, conducted in person on location.
- A casual coffee chat on site with two team members.
Our entire interview process typically takes about 3-5 weeks.
Important instructions:
- We recommend that you apply as early as possible. Once we have received enough suitable applications, we reserve the right to close the position early.
- Collaboration is an important part of our culture. That's why we spend three days a week together in our Berlin office: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. On the other two days, you can work from wherever you are most productive. Therefore, we are looking for someone for whom the regular commute to Berlin is manageable.
- Our recruiting team is small and we take the time to carefully review each application. Therefore, it may sometimes take a while before you hear from us. Thank you for your patience.
- Unfortunately, we cannot offer visa sponsorship for this role. You will therefore need a valid work permit for Germany.
We believe that every voice deserves a place at the table.
Butternut Box is an equal opportunity employer. We believe that to produce the best food for all dogs, we need a team that reflects the diversity of all people. That's why we value different nationalities, backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
We are actively committed to strengthening the representation of underrepresented groups and building a diverse team characterized by different identities and life experiences.
We're not there yet - but we're working every day to create an inclusive and supportive work environment where you can simply be yourself and grow.
If this role makes your dog-loving heart beat faster, we look forward to your application and portfolio
