Together, we form one of the biggest pan-European brokers.

About the role

• You will communicate between the different departments which secure the operations within the international organization of the flatexDEGIRO group, where DEGIRO is a part of. You will use your communicative skills in an international atmosphere on a large diversity of subjects.
