Most rewarding job I've had - werkgeversreview Head of Communications bij Inkitt

For someone coming from a corporate background, the startup world has always fascinated me. Doing PR and campaign management at one of the biggest media companies in the world was really just about picking which A-level celebrity to collaborate with next and brainstorming over a grande half-caf coconut latte about what to run as our next campaign. All because of the safety net that comprised of a vast pool of contacts, excellent reputation and unlimited financial resources, which meant that even if a new project tanked, the future of the company was never at stake, so there wasn't ever a real sense of challenge or responsibility. Well, I wanted the challenge. I live for challenges. I feel like I don't grow unless I'm forced to step out of my comfort zone. I wanted the responsibility and creative freedom that up until today means that sometimes I'm going into a project knowing I'm going to make mistakes. At Inkitt seeing how the smallest input can change the entire outcome of projects is as daunting as it is invigorating. There's no micromanagement, your abilities are trusted and constantly encouraged. Building something from scratch, seeing how far you've come and your imprints along the way gives a sense of satisfaction unlike anything else.
