About the Company
- Axel Springer is a media and technology company active in more than 40 countries.
- Brands like BILD, WELT, POLITICO, Business Insider, The Telegraph and idealo each run on strong technology of their own.
- We are increasingly steering that technology as one group: shared platforms where scale wins, common standards where they make us faster, local ownership where closeness to the market matters most.
- Making that real across a global, multi-brand organization is a program in its own right.
Equal Opportunity
- Diversity is an essential part of our corporate culture! We are looking forward to receiving all applications regardless of gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, age, sexual orientation and identity.
