Bio
Jinhi Kim
Stefanie is a brilliant and gifted Project Manager who really understands how to get the best out of people. During our 6+ months collaboration I got to experience Stefanie as a resourceful coordinator, empathic people manager and structured productivity driver. This helped our newly formed team manage higher volumes from more regions, grow closer together as a team while saving time and reducing redundancies. One of Stef's superpowers is being calm and energetic at the same time – both towards internal clients, external vendors and team members. Her can do attitude and proactive service-oriented mindset did not budge, no matter the volatile project lifecycle and conflicting priorities in high-pressure situations. I highly recommend Stef if you need to get the job done!

Project Lead of the initiative "Kauf nebenan!"
-
Aug 2020 - Sep 2021
Project Lead for “Kauf nebenan!” – an initiative by Germany’s biggest neighbourhood network nebenan.de devoted to supporting local businesses. During a period of one year our small team was able to launch two major campaigns together with PayPal – the second one providing a high 6-digit budget. As the project lead I’ve not only functioned as the main operations contact for the incredible external PayPal team but also as the internal stakeholder manager which translates into working with a fantastic interdisciplinary team involving Communications, Design, Product, Sales, Marketing, Business Intelligence and Advertising – as well as coordinating freelancers and other external partners. Coordination and constant communication was truly key here involving setting up agile workflows and project plans, RACI matrix, regular check-ins and retros and with being in the time we’re in now: extreme strategic flexibility. It was challenging and it was fun! Or maybe because of it… Show less

Head of Studio | Management + Consulting

Feb 2018 - Sep 2018
My last role being a Senior Project Manager at “FZEY” I started with a new one coming back after emigration to Australia and my Sabbatical: Head of Studio. Being a small team with up to ten people meant a variety of tasks came with this role. Ranging from business development and strategy, the good old project management and client consulting to HR and administrative management. Within a short amount of time I managed to establish a workflow process for all upcoming projects that fit the needs of the team and the clients, established a more efficient billing flow and hosted company culture events like “Lunch & Learn”.

Senior Account Manager | Digital and Print

Jan 2017 - Jul 2017
One of the best stops on my career journey with the greatest agency in all of Australia. As a Senior Digital Project Manager at “Liquorice” in Melbourne I had the chance to not only learn heaps but was encouraged to give and share a lot as well: my input, my expertise, my joy, my opinion, my concerns, my ideas. Learning from my mentors and being one for the juniors made me fall in love with my job all over again. It sounds cheesy but honestly I don't care. Keeping budgets, timelines and resources in check for clients like the Alcohol and Drug Foundation or the Victoria Aids Council was bliss. Show less
