Creative Lead

Are you able to transform mundane topics into something delightful to rally for with your creativity? Is the human and their context always at the heart of your creative process? Does shaking up a traditional industry, where a compelling brand can become a significant competitive advantage pique your interest?

If that sounds like you, we’re eager to learn more about you!

Why Droppe?
Europe’s product distribution industry is a hidden, massive €200 billion market that lets production businesses and services maintain high-quality and safe operations with packaging, safety, and work equipment. Yet, it is fragmented and one of the few remaining industries that software has not touched.

At Droppe, we empower businesses to focus on what matters most by harnessing the power of software and data. This allows them to source, order, and manage the essential products the world depends on in the most efficient manner possible. We are a fast-growing distribution platform, backed by the leading investors in Europe.

Meet the team
Our people can be described as hungry and compassionate. We genuinely love what we do and aim high. Today, we are a European hybrid team comprising more than 20 individuals with offices in Helsinki and Cologne. While we are all talented individuals, the sweetest achievement is succeeding together as a team.
