{:en}In interdisciplinary teams, we work according to agile methods to keep furthering the development of our Leipzig-based platform that’s now successful worldwide. In addition to our three proven options: Create-Your-Own, Marketplaces, and Shops, Spread Group also offers fulfillment solutions.

Our global users upload almost one million new graphics every month. In order to sell these at our points of sales, successful digital asset management is one of the essential components of our platform. This includes many different process contents, such as uploading various designs, reviewing aspects of quality and legality, data enrichment and corresponding management.

The position is offered either on site at our Leipzig headquarters with flexible Home Office options or remotely from Germany, Poland or Czech Republic.
