Grow Faster. Grow Further. There is a very high probability that Finance in eMAG is different than what you have come across so far. In order to enjoy it, you have to love taking initiative and getting to the very bottom of business cases, you have to ask questions and work together to find and define the best options eMAG has to move forward. Then, you execute. Past experience always comes in handy but, many of the projects we’re working on are brand new, so curiosity and an open mind moves us forward. 
We are constantly upgrading people processes for our young organization, and each and every member of our team has an important role to play in that. Our ambition is to have not only a thriving business, but also an engaged team that fosters development – or, in other words, the best learning environment in town! If you like the sound of that, then, we’d love to meet you!
