Last position:

Scrum Master, Agile Coach at Name on request

Due to the founding of another company during Corona, the managing director stepped back from day-to-day operations, which left the team without leadership for about 3 years.

My task was to train a new Product Owner, shape the developers and the Product Owner into a cohesive team, and coach this newly formed team into a state where self-organized value delivery for the customer was possible again.

Because of the political situation in the USA, the revenue of my client's main customer dropped, which meant the business model had to change. I was allowed to support the transition from a service provider to an AI-first company with a broad customer base in an advisory and strategic role, hire staff, and facilitate several C-level negotiations between my client and its new customers.

TASKS

  • Training team and management in Scrum and agile ways of working
  • Coaching a junior Product Owner to PSPO II level
  • Mediation of conflicts in change processes
  • C-level consulting and negotiation facilitation
  • Developing and evaluating business models
  • Leading the hiring process for 4 new employees

ACHIEVED

  • Successfully coached Product Owner to PSPO II level
  • Shaped a leaderless team into a cohesive Scrum team
  • Restored self-organized value delivery for the customer
  • Successful transformation to AI-native development (Claude)
  • Successful change of the customer's business model

TOOLS & METHODS

  • Team building
  • NVC by Rosenberg
  • Conflict management
  • Workshop facilitation
  • Negotiation facilitation
  • Leadership coaching

AI Researcher & LLM Evaluation – Conventional Paradigm Test (CPT) at Private

Conventional Paradigm Test (CPT) – AI Evaluation & LLM Research

Development of an experimental evaluation approach to examine “paradigmatic closure” in Large Language Models — that is, the question of how far LLMs can recognize the basic assumptions, values, and limits of the paradigms within which they generate answers.

Design and testing of an additional approach to classic AI benchmarks that does not primarily measure factual correctness or task performance, but instead examines a model’s ability to recognize alternative perspectives, make implicit assumptions visible, and reflect on the limits of its own answer or interpretation framework.

Focus areas: development of evaluation criteria and test questions · LLM evaluation and comparative model analysis · prompt and response analysis · qualitative classification of model answers · study of epistemic compression and value leakage · benchmark and literature research · development of structured assessment and analysis methods

As part of CPT, existing AI evaluation approaches and benchmarks were analyzed, and a minimalist test protocol was developed that classifies model answers by response patterns such as DIRECT, CLARIFY, PLURALIST, REFUSE, and META-AWARE. TruthfulQA was used as the basis for experimental application and comparison with existing reference answers.

Last position:

Freelance Copywriter at Self-employed freelance copywriter

A little about me: I have been self-employed as a freelance copywriter since January 2017 and have found my personal passion in this field. Before that, I worked as an employed copywriter at an advertising agency, where I wrote copy for major clients such as Zalando and Otto.

Taking the step into self-employment was primarily about my own growth, not least through constantly taking on new challenges. Today, my services include:

  • SEO copy
  • Product descriptions and product copy (Google SEO, Amazon SEO, Amazon+)
  • Website copy and category copy
  • Traditional advertising copy / PR
  • Flyers, catalogs, and brochures
  • Blog posts and editorial content
  • Metadata optimization

Through regular training and relevant specialist literature, I naturally keep up to date with developments in the industry (especially in SEO, and now AI as well) — both traditional Google SEO and specific platforms such as Amazon, for example.

Past and current clients include:

  • Trusted Shops Magazine
  • Fielmann AG
  • KLUGO
  • Pinkbus
  • #sinob
  • Eucerin
  • Hess Klangkonzepte®
  • DogUniversity
  • Beauty Concept Shop
  • SmartXplain (including copywriting in collaboration with REWE and BASF)

I invoice with VAT using my tax number. I generally work at my hourly rate; for recurring projects, flat rates per text are also possible. I would be happy to discuss this with you personally — via direct message here, by email, or by phone.

Even in the age of artificial intelligence, I remain focused on my craft. I use AI to support me with organization, but I write all the copy myself.

I look forward to hearing from you!

About the role

What they write

Content writers turn business goals into clear text that people read and act on. They work on website pages, blog posts, landing pages, newsletters, product descriptions, thought leadership, and case studies. In Germany, they are often brought in when a company needs strong English or German content for a launch, a campaign, or a new editorial stream.

Core deliverables

  • Website copy that explains products, services, and benefits
  • SEO articles built around search intent and topic structure
  • Landing page copy for campaigns, lead generation, and launches
  • Product and category text for e-commerce teams
  • Editorial content such as interviews, guides, and white papers
  • Tone-of-voice updates and content refreshes for existing pages

Skills that matter

A strong content writer combines writing skill with research discipline. They can work from a brief, interview subject matter experts, and adapt tone for different audiences. Common tools and methods include CMS platforms, keyword research tools, content outlines, editorial calendars, and review cycles with marketing, sales, or product teams. Good copywriters and SEO writers also understand structure, readability, and internal linking.

When to hire one

Companies bring in freelance content writers when internal teams are overloaded, a specialist voice is needed, or content has to move quickly across several channels. They are a practical choice for brand refreshes, multilingual content, SEO updates, and campaign support. In Germany, freelancers are especially useful when local market language, industry jargon, and close coordination with marketing teams all matter.

What strong writers do well

  • Ask the right questions before writing
  • Keep messaging clear without sounding generic
  • Match format, audience, and funnel stage
  • Work cleanly with editors, designers, and marketers
  • Handle revisions without losing the core message
  • Deliver content that is ready to publish or easy to polish

Good fit and handoff

The best content writers do more than fill a page. They understand why the text exists, what action it should drive, and how it fits the wider content system. For companies, that means faster briefs, smoother reviews, and stronger output. For freelancers, it means visible impact, repeat work, and clearer scope from the start.

Frequently asked questions

Key details about Content Writers, drawn from the questions we get asked most.

A content writer creates text that supports marketing, sales, and brand communication. That can include website copy, blog posts, landing pages, emails, product descriptions, and case studies. The best writers do not just write well; they also shape the message so it fits the audience and the business goal.

Not always, but the roles overlap. A copywriter usually focuses more on persuasion and conversion, while an SEO writer places more weight on search intent, structure, and discoverability. Many freelance content writers in practice cover all three areas, especially on smaller teams.

Look for strong samples, clear thinking, and the ability to adapt to your tone of voice. A good content writer should ask about audience, purpose, and review process before starting. If the work is SEO-heavy, they should also show that they can use briefs, headings, and keywords without making the text awkward.

A freelancer makes sense when you need help quickly, the workload changes often, or the project needs a specific style or topic focus. This is common for launches, content audits, campaign support, and seasonal editorial work. A freelance setup also helps when your internal team needs extra writing capacity without adding headcount.

Companies in Germany often bring in content writers for B2B website content, German-language campaign copy, SEO articles, and product content. They are also useful when a team needs help adapting global messaging for the local market. Clear communication matters, especially when subject matter experts, legal reviewers, or marketing teams are involved.

Yes, most projects can be handled remotely. A content writer usually only needs a clear brief, access to source material, and a defined review process. On-site time can help for workshops, interviews, or brand-heavy projects, but it is not required for most writing work.

Review samples for clarity, structure, and consistency of tone. Strong work reads naturally, stays on message, and makes complex topics easy to understand. It also helps if the writer can explain how they approach research, editing, and feedback, because that often predicts the quality of the final result.

A solid content writer should be good at research, interviewing, editing, and working from feedback. For many projects, they also need basic SEO knowledge, CMS experience, and the ability to collaborate with designers, marketers, and subject matter experts. These skills make the work faster and reduce back-and-forth later.

The average hourly rate for Content Writers in Germany is 92 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 734 € based on an 8-hour working day.
