Emma - The Sleep Company Graduate Stories

I really love that we’re empowered with a high degree of independence in the decisions we make, which is enabled by a work culture that is entrepreneurial, data-driven, and agile. This lets me get work done efficiently with other Emmies and encourages me to make a bigger impact through the work that I do!

The best part of my job is the ownership I have over tasks. Managing my own project, presenting it to superiors, and executing it allows me to witness immediate impact on the team and company.

I find it cool that I can establish working relationships with influencers! It’s thrilling to work with them, and it’s even more fun when we collaborate on our ideas together. Other than that, I love being able to build rapport with teams from other markets.

Each day presents an opportunity for creative problem-solving, whether from a tactical or strategic perspective. The multifaceted nature of the Supply Chain allows for continuous exploration and involvement in various aspects of the process.

This role gives me the opportunity to take ownership of projects and certain functions which is not normally seen in traditional companies.

Given that Emma upholds a non-hierarchical and team-centric structure, one fascinating aspect of my role is that I get to have the opportunity to coordinate, collaborate, and brainstorm with all Emmies across all development levels, ranging from the CEO to my fellow interns.

We also ensure that our marketing isn’t just about selling the actual products – we highlight the often-forgotten power of getting quality sleep.

Something that I find very enjoyable in Emma is being able to work with people of different ethnicities. It's refreshing to learn about each others' cultures and there's always something new to talk about.

The fact that we are growing constantly and on our way to achieving our target for the quarter is really encouraging for me since I never expected myself to lead the performance of an entire market.

We should accept the reality that there is no such thing as an easy way, in every path we take it is a gamble if we will succeed or not, but we should persevere to achieve those dreams that we have.

I am proud of being able to become an expert and take ownership of the end to end processes of Influencer Marketing because of my involvement in the Netherlands.

We build on the element of trust, which is especially crucial in taking our share of the world’s biggest mattress market.
