mobile.de Lifestyle

Our Team

mobile.de was launched in 1996 as a pioneering online database of vehicles for sale. The goal was to make it as easy as possible for German dealers and private sellers to create listings — and for buyers to quickly locate the car, truck, motorcycle or mobile home they want.

    It's about internet and cars - I love both!
    One of my goals is to increase the demand for our dealers via affiliate partners and cooperation's. I try to build a strong relationship to my partners to close good and fair deals!
    On the one hand the silence on the eBay campus, on the other hand the sound of Porsche test drives! Our neighbor is a Porsche-Center!
    I see the most amazing thing every day! The fact that we are market leader with less people than our biggest competitor!
    I was surprised about the amount of female colleagues! I thought cars and computers is a man's thing? It is not!
    I love to see that we are all working hard every day to reach our overall goal! We are a strong team!

    Responsable de gestión de producto para Alemania
    La oportunidad perfecta se presentó en el momento adecuado.
    Convence a tu jefe y compañeros y tendrás a toda una empresa mundial a tu disposición para que tus ideas se hagan realidad.
    Tuve el placer de ser responsable de producto durante el lanzamiento de nuestros dos últimos sitios internacionales: automobile.it y automobile.fr.
    mobile.de es un producto potente pero muy complejo, con un tráfico enorme en un entorno competitivo que cambia constantemente. El desafío diario es dar los pasos acertados en el momento adecuado en un mar infinito de oportunidades.
    El adiós a la corbata.

    Que el producto parece extremadamente sencillo y fácil desde la perspectiva del usuario. Pero una vez que lo ves todo, te sorprende comprobar todo lo que hace falta para ofrecer a los más de 4,5 millones de visitantes únicos mensuales nuevos anuncios de vehículos.
    Flexibility.
  • Malte
    Senior Director Germany
    I was asked to join in Spring 2010 and as I am still enthusiastic about cars, classifieds and wanted to work at the #1 in this space, I decided to move to Berlin from Munich.
    Great business (see above), great people, great challenges. Being able to be an entrepreneur. . .
    Launching the mobile.de Profi-Konto including the Markt-Monitor for our dealers is in my opinion the biggest step and challenge since mobile.de's launch in 1995. Other great projects have been CS 2.0, our new TV campaign and the launch of our iphone app.
    Being the clear #1 in online car classifieds and helping mobile.de to be "the" force in selling cars for dealers and OEMs and being: mobile.de is the GPS in automobile commerce!
    Working with a great team and having fun with them after achieving things.
    How people are engaged with our new and old TV commercials...really everybody has an opinion - that is great!
    All the meetings in the coffee bar ;-) ... I am doing so now too.
    I think there a lot of different people with different characters at mobile.de . . . so there´s no common trait in my opinion, but if I could think of one: helping each other and our customers!

    Dealer Sales & Strategy
    For my previous employer Mercedes- Benz I was responsible for Online Marketing in the Berlin branch and therefore always a big fan mobile.de. So when I was asked if I could imagine myself working for mobile.de the choice wasn’t very hard to make. I was looking for a new challenge especially with a international focus and I truly found it ;-)
    I really cherish our culture of getting people involved, having an open ear to customers, being in a very dynamic surrounding and last but not least because I am working for the market leader in the automotive online sales business in Germany!
    Acquiring new international key account clients for our German platform in order to coming closer to our long-term aim to become a truly European market place. Developing new sales strategies and strategic partnership with data service providers for the automotive industry. Business cases for possible market entry scenarios.
    Definitely growing together with mobile.de professionally and personally. Taking part in making mobile.de even a stronger market leader both in Germany and Europe.
    Being surrounded by many highly motivated colleagues and even some car fanatics like me ;-)
    To be honest it is probably just like the feeling of making a difference and really playing part in the development of new ideas and strategies.
    When I first joined a year back coming from a manufacturer one had the feeling that the online automotive business was pretty much as developed as it could be where in fact there are still endless possibilities of developing the business further and making it fit for the future.
    Definitely the fascination about our business, what we have to offer our customers and some automotive madness which is a very important ingredient in the equation ;-)

    Technical Project Lead
    After years of developing in small teams i was looking for a large developer group working on a single product
    The development makes fun. Several reasons for that are: - Wide varity of different projects - Freedom inside the projects of design and implementation - A lot of nice and competent people - Dynamic work and structures – processes changes when they need to change
    Well there are really ALOT interesting projects, honestly about 90% of all projects I did were cool and interesting. To name a few: - Ad historisation (was the coolest of all) - Market information System - Billing migration
    At most help and support technology team to make their work better and smoother. Discussions and strategies for our technology platform and processes inside our work.
    It’s the freedom and trust in the whole company. I single person actually could do something in the company with impact. Also the platform is really complex as well as the infrastructure around it. It’s always a benefit for a developer to work in such a big environment.
    Things actually change! I’ve been in many companies which were stuck in their own business (inside & outside). I’ts amazing that mobile.de is a dynamic business and reacts like that.
    I have no biggest surprise – at least none I remember right know - but I have a lot of surprises in the daily work. Most I find in our code (positive and negative :) )
    Well the most important: basic principles like respect.
  • Marilda
    Country Manager Italy for automobile.it
    mobile.de decided to expand its success also internationally by launching in Feb 2010 other marketplaces as automobile.it in Italy. I thought that it was a huge opportunity so I decided to apply for this job.
    Business & Industry, freedom to act and adapt to market´s need, nice colleagues and a lot of develop opportunity you cannot easily find somewhere else.
    There is nothing much more exited then ramping up from scratch a new business in a new marketplace.
    Together with my team, we are aiming to building Italian Marketplaces of automobile.it with the ambition to become market leader.
    My favorite benefit is the interactions with other companies of eCG. I've met very talented and fascinating people and I have learned a lot from them too.
    Italian Dealer Roadshow. We visit a group of Dealers in North Italy and that was an amazing experience. They were so happy to meet someone from mobile.de that they kept us “busy” questioning about the business and our approach in Italy that each day we finished each meeting around midnight. It was so exited!
    Meetings in the bar ;)
    Great sense of responsibility, enthusiasm in what everyone does and willingness to drive things to achieve a common goal
