Assistant to the Editor-in-Chief of the Focus Department

We love technology. We love journalism. Convinced that both belong together, we at BurdaForward are developing the media of the day after tomorrow. With leading publishing brands such as Focus Online, Chip, TV Spielfilm, Bunte.de, Finanzen100, The Weather Channel or Fit For Fun, we reach millions of people every day. Our digital offerings are innovative and technologically state-of-the-art. Through them we provide reliable and current information, entertain accurately and support our users with advice and action. We put solutions at the center and are a driving force of public debate - also out of tradition: Because BurdaForward is part of the family company Hubert Burda Media.
