Everyday, I learn something new. May it be about a particular industry or a sector, or may it be about how a certain process works in an organisation. I meet people from almost all industries and sectors, understand their business, and gain knowledge on their processes to help them succeed together with Dream Broker.
“When we stop learning, we stop growing”. I strongly believe in a constant learning attitude, especially in sales. And at Dream Broker, I have the opportunity to unlearn and learn, to evolve, and be a part of a growing company with strong international presence. I love the way our sales teams from different countries help and motivate each other by sharing best practices.
”It gives me great joy to support our customers in achieving their communication goals and be a part of their growth and success, by adding value together with Dream Broker.”

As a Visual Designer in the Marketing Unit, I am trusted to manage the company’s visual identity and materials in my daily work. The company’s visual identity and product family is constantly evolving, therefore I always have the opportunities to take on new design projects that challenge me.
I also really enjoy working on the wide variety of Marketing Design tasks in my daily responsibilities, especially ones I have never tackled before. For instance, it is extremely fulfilling to see your designs come alive at event stands, our company merchandise and flyers we give away to customers.
I have learnt in my daily work that to grow as a person, you must take the initiative to constantly develop your skills and take on new challenges. Starting something new is never easy at first. So it is important to remind yourself that you always need time and patience to learn.
”One of the best things about working at Dream Broker is constantly being trusted with more responsibilities as I grow and develop my skills. You are expected to collaborate with not just your team members, but also other units in the company, who you can learn a lot from as a result.”

The working environment at Dream Broker is excellent. My team members are supportive and we help each other grow every day. Though everyone has their role and work on their tasks individually, we often come together to solve common problems. We enjoy sharing our thoughts and assisting each other with our unique experiences.
We work on quite interesting projects that you can't commonly find in most companies. We face new challenges every step of the way, but it is exciting to learn how to overcome obstacles that I have never faced before. I personally had to learn a completely new set of skills that was different from my expertise of software development when I started. However, this only motivates me more, as I have the opportunity to learn and master new skills.
”I feel I have grown not just in my expertise of software development, but also improved my communication and problem-solving skills”

When I started in my position, I did not have any experience with recruitment. I had a background in HR but wanted to learn about talent acquisition. Hence, I decided to make a career change. I’ve had the opportunity to experience working in talent acquisition and learn something new every day ever since. With my expertise from my previous experience in HR, I am able to contribute to the company’s growth by helping to evolve internal structures and processes.
Dream Broker offers the opportunity for development and growth. As you progress, you will be given more responsibility, challenges, and roles. If you keep an open mind and are willing to learn and expand your skills, this is the right place for you. Our community share the same mindset of working together and supporting each other which creates a very welcoming atmosphere.
”The best part of my work routine is the actual human interaction and meaningful conversations which creates that connection with people.”

As a solution engineer, every closed case is a personal victory. The best thing about what I do is find an answer to something no one else could figure out. I love the feeling of being able to help our customers, and those small triumphs are what keep me motivated. My purpose is to make sure in every way I help revolutionize the communication of the customer and deliver the value we've promised as a company.
I've witnessed the company grow from a small local office in Espoo to several international offices in many different countries. I haven't just developed my career as a professional but gained a detailed understanding of how the industry works. It's exciting to be part of a growing company, now more than ever. If you think you could improve anything inside the company, you’ll always have the opportunity to discuss your ideas constructively. I believe great things are coming after seeing Dream Broker's success throughout the years.
”I feel I’ve grown together with Dream Broker since I started in 2011.”

At Dream Broker, days are flexible and change. They are challenging and demanding. But when you do well, people will notice. I joined Dream Broker seven years ago, and in that time, I have gone from Associate Legal Counsel to General Counsel. The positive feedback you receive from others creates a snowball effect where the growth possibilities are endless.
People who excel at Dream Broker are those who are doing everything with heart. They feel like they have ownership of their role and find their meaning within that role.

I really enjoy the versatility. We have so many customers in different industries and sectors, so I get the experience of working with all the different sectors that interest me, all within the same role at the same company!
As our customers have to learn and develop every day within their work, I get the opportunity to develop with them and get deep knowledge about their work and field. None of us are locked in to focusing on just one specific area. We all have versatile portfolios and we can collaborate with anyone and everyone!
