To strengthen our team, we’re looking for a flexible, resilient, and reliable employee who is used to leading by example. We’re looking for a dedicated individual—who may even prefer a supporting role—who wants to find fulfillment in leading our team.

  • Free meals during work hours
  • Housing available if needed (unfortunately, no pets allowed)

  • Net salary is €2,100—paid 14 times a year, plus vacation pay and a Christmas bonus—as required by Austrian law—5 days off—40-hour workweek. Salary adjusted based on professional experience  

     

11. Trial Days

  • We’d like to invite you for a trial weekend to see if you get along well with the team and if the team gets along well with you
  • You’ll be paid for this, of course, and we’re happy to pay you right away. 

 

That’s why we’d like to emphasize once again that we’re not looking for a short-term solution, but rather a long-term position for at least 2–5 years or longer.

 

We look forward to receiving your application! Isabella & Team
