Along the way, Svetlana picked up responsibilities in sales, bookkeeping, personnel administration, branding, and even sourcing promotional materials. In a company where people often wear more than one hat, adaptability comes with the territory.
Svetlana, your role blends financial precision with commercial know-how.
- I've been an accountant the entire time, however, my duties have changed quite a lot. One of the biggest surprises was discovering how much I enjoy sales. Sales ended up being my main incumbency, but I also have a liking for organisational tasks.
So what has kept her at Hamburger Recycling Serbia for five years?
- I love taking part in different activities, which is kind of a must in our company. It's very dynamic and ever-changing.
That variety is exactly what she enjoys most. New challenges arrive regularly, and so do opportunities to learn something new.
For people considering a career in recycling and the circular economy, what messages do you have?
- A career in the recycling and circular economy offers long-term growth, driven by sustainability directives and innovation. You must balance logistics with legal and environmental regulations.
Recycling is a complex industry. Fast-moving, highly regulated, and constantly evolving. For Svetlana, that's the reason she stayed. Dear Svetlana, thank you for being a great colleague, cheers to the next 5 years in Hamburger Recycling!
We will.
