E-commerce specialist (already qualified)
Do you have online-retail experience? We study your profile to identify e-commerce roles that may suit you in Germany.
Who this is for
Profiles in online sales, shop and marketplace management, digital marketing, customer service and sales analysis, with genuine online-retail experience.
Pay
In e-commerce, pay is often around 2,800 to 3,500 €/month depending on experience, specialism (marketing, shop, data) and company (sources: German salary portals, Entgeltatlas). Indicative figures, varying by role.
Recognition and visa route
Commerce is a non-regulated profession: formal recognition of the qualification is not always required to work. It may, however, be needed or useful depending on the visa route. For experienced professionals, the visa for skilled workers with professional experience allows, under conditions, working without formal German recognition: it requires among other things a state-recognised qualification from your country, at least two years of relevant experience in the last five years and a concrete job offer; further conditions apply. We assess your situation and identify the right route (source: Make it in Germany).
German level
Good German (B2 aimed for) is expected; English and command of digital tools are assets. We train you to the required level before departure.
The process with Karriere Fähre
We study your profile to identify the professions and positions for which your qualification, experience and situation may match German requirements. We train you in German up to the required level, prepare your application and file, connect you with employers, then support you with the visa and settling in.
