About Stephanie's job

What does a normal working day look like for you? A typical day usually begins with a brief catch-up with my colleague, followed by a quick review of emails and priorities. From there, the schedule fills up with coordinating and arranging appointments, planning and organizing events or meetings with business partners, customers, banks, and investors, as well as internal meetings, workshops, and training sessions. I prepare documents and provide administrative support for various projects. I also handle travel arrangements and many other day-to-day tasks that arise.

As an assistant team, our goal is to support and relieve the Executive Board and management team across a wide range of areas—keeping everything organized, running smoothly, and ensuring that priorities are handled efficiently.

What do you enjoy most in your job? What I enjoy most is that every day is different, requiring me to react flexibly to new situations. I find it incredibly inspiring to work so closely with so many remarkable people and to gain insight into everything that contributes to Cicor’s success. I also truly appreciate the opportunity to stay connected with team members from all our sites around the world.

Cicor is a truly unique company, and the people are exceptionally friendly, open-minded, and motivated — it genuinely feels like one big family. Every day I learn something new and deepen my understanding, and I feel that this journey is far from over.

What are the challenges within your function? The key challenges in my role are receiving all relevant information in a timely manner, efficiently connecting important interfaces, and maintaining a clear overview of all ongoing projects. At the same time, confidentiality is always the highest priority and must be upheld at all times. What matters most to me is that, by the end of the day, everyone is satisfied and every event or meeting has run smoothly.
