Business Professionals

Making a difference together.

Quite simply, without business professionals like you, there would be no YPOG. Because it's colleagues like you who keep everything running smoothly in our day-to-day work and ensure that we can grow together.

We trust your expertise and give you plenty of scope for decision-making so that you can make a difference with us, no matter which area you start in. From IT, marketing, and business development to assistance, People + Culture, and many more exciting positions, our Business Professionals team is broadly based.

Working at YPOG

Hybrid Working

Our IT infrastructure allows you to work flexibly from home or in one of our YPOG offices. It is important to us to combine flexibility with close personal interaction. That's why we meet regularly in the office while also having developed hybrid communication formats. For example, the weekly "12 mins. us" with information about the respective location, the monthly cross-location "Behind the Scenes" and, of course, the daily exchange with your team.

For us, hybrid working also means that our teams work together across locations and that team members can have their home base in different offices.

Plenty of creative freedom

Quick and competent decisions are key to our success. That's why we give our business professionals plenty of room to maneuver. We trust that you and your colleagues know best what is important for your area.

We also ensure short coordination and decision-making paths across teams. With us, you can make a difference and your initiatives will not be held back.

At YPOG, we know that our law firm can only offer the best advice if all employees have optimal working conditions and feel comfortable. That's why our partners meet regularly with representatives from all business professional areas and discuss what they can do better together.

Lean Digital Proceses

Whether onboarding, document processing, or e-learning, at YPOG, we have organized our workflows quickly and efficiently. Thanks to our fully digital cloud infrastructure and the constant improvement of our processes, we have been able to eliminate many time wasters from our day-to-day work.

Physical & Mental Health

Your health is very important to YPOG. For your mental wellbeing, we work with OpenUp. Through OpenUp, you have unlimited one-on-one access to coaching and mindfulness consultations with psychologists and other mental health resources.

For a workout-life balance, we cooperate with the Urban Sports Club, and as a YPOGee you get your membership significantly cheaper. We also offer yoga classes and back training, work with running coaches, provide fresh fruit and vegetables, and offer you the opportunity to lease a work bike. We have equipped our offices with the latest ergonomic chairs and height-adjustable desks.

Your Development at YPOG

Onboarding

When you join YPOG, we want to make your first few months as easy as possible. Your team will accompany your start and help you with all organizational and technical questions. Of course, all the other YPOGees will also be happy to help you.

A learning management system, wikis, process descriptions, assistance for handling mandates, and various specialist topics for reference will help you to familiarize yourself and ensure that you get off to a good start with us.

Feedback + Development Meetings

Regular development meetings with your team lead or a partner will show you transparently where you stand in your development and what we expect from you.

With us, feedback doesn't just go in one direction. We regularly ask you (as with all other colleagues) how you are doing with us, whether you are developing optimally, or what we can do better.

Learning at YPOG

At YPOG, we believe in lifelong learning. Because we are convinced that we can only remain successful if we don't rest on our laurels, but continue to develop.

We support your professional development through the courses offered by our internal YBrains Academy. Together with Bucerius Executive Education, we offer various courses specifically for business professionals in the legal sector. Topics include, for example, time and project management.

Of course, YPOG also supports external training courses that will take you to the next level. We provide financial support for seminars and training courses and allow time off to attend and prepare.

 

Further benefits

It is important to us that you feel comfortable at YPOG and have everything you need to perform well. That's why we have various benefits for you and your colleagues and regularly add to this offer.

We provide you with the "Deutschland-Ticket" for the journey from your place of residence to our office.

With a notebook, two monitors in the office, a monitor for working from home, a company cell phone, and a tablet if required, our hardware setup leaves nothing to be desired.

Top furnishings, barrier-free access, great surroundings, and of course, nice colleagues - you can feel at home in our offices.
We offer a business English course once a week. This will prepare you even better for tasks in an international context.
There are two fixed dates in our party calendar: you and your colleagues celebrate a summer party at your location and the YPOGees from all locations get together for the Christmas party. 
If Excel, Word, or PowerPoint are annoying you, we have an in-house expert who can help you immediately and give you tips on the programs. You can find further help in the tutorials of our Learning Management System. 
Coffee, tea, water, muesli, fruit, vegetables, and chocolate bars are available in our offices to keep you going. We pay attention to sustainable and fair production for all products.
We regularly take the whole team away from our day-to-day work to work on important strategic issues and to have a good time together.
You have a four-legged friend who should also be your constant companion at work. As part of our pooch policy, we also welcome team members with fur at our offices.

Insights

Schüttemeyer Director IT
"At YPOG, I can drive initiatives forward and play a key role in how the law firm culture develops. For example, I founded our queer initiative together with my colleague Timo. It was a personal concern of ours and we received all the support we could possibly get."

Steidten Assistant
"At YPOG, business professionals receive a lot of trust and appreciation. They emphasize how important our work is for the success of the firm. And no matter what position you work in, you have every freedom as long as the result of your work is right."

Apply to YPOG

You can upload your application documents using our online form. Transparency is very important to us. We provide you with comprehensive information about what makes us tick and what it's like to work for us. We would therefore be delighted if you could also provide us with some information about yourself: We ask for your CV, your references and a brief background to your application, for example when you could start with us. A cover letter is not necessary.  
 

What happens next with your application?

Once we have received your application, we will get back to you within a week. If we are interested in your profile, we will meet (virtually, if you wish) for an initial interview.

If the first meeting is promising for you and for us, we will invite you to a second meeting in one of our offices.

Before you decide to join YPOG, you will have the opportunity to get to know your future team in person. This way you can be sure that we not only fit together professionally, but also that the chemistry between us is right.   

By the way...

...at YPOG we are on a first-name basis from the very beginning. You are welcome to omit the formal "you" (“Sie” auf Deutsch) in your application.
