Far away, but never distant

Sarah lives in Germany and works for a Dutch company. Local and international at the same time. This combination makes her role so valuable: for the customer, for us as an employer, and of course for Sarah herself.

Her journey to Packit began in 2019 at Fora. The acquisition by Packit followed later that same year. Sarah stayed, grew with the company, took a brief detour in 2022 to gain experience elsewhere, and returned in 2024. A conscious choice.
Sarah explains: “One of the things I appreciate most is the international environment. Working with colleagues from different countries brings new perspectives every day and makes the work both interesting and rewarding. The combination of local market knowledge and international collaboration is what makes Careers at Packit so unique for me.”

Local knowledge, European reach

“I am truly immersed in the market. Not as an extension of the head office, but as a full member of the team. My work involves preparing quotes, preparing for customer visits, and presenting new products. And understanding what is happening. Because what works in the Netherlands does not automatically work in Germany. We know the DACH market from the inside out; the culture, the retail expectations, and the nuances that make the difference. We share that knowledge so that products, concepts, and customer approaches align perfectly.”

Far away and yet close by

Although the distance between her home office and Oud-Beijerland is significant, the same cannot be said for the distance between her and her colleagues. Sarah: “Even though we don’t see each other in person every day, every visit to the Dutch office feels like meeting colleagues you just saw yesterday. I enormously value that sense of connection and belonging. Despite the distance, the collaboration goes excellently, which says a lot about the communication, trust, and culture within Packit.” It is typical of the Packit way.

“At Packit, you see the impact of your contribution.”

Successful together

As a personal highlight, Sarah mentions her involvement in a product launch. “I was there from the very beginning. It’s great to see how an idea grows into a physical product, which is expected to be available in several countries starting in September this year. I am personally proud of that. At the same time, it is a wonderful example of what can be achieved when different teams work together toward a common goal. That is what I love about Packit. You work internationally, but it never feels large and anonymous. You see the impact of your contribution.”
