Careers Vienna
Help shape
Austria's municipalities.
We are the link between business and Austria's 2,092 municipalities. Behind us stands a team of journalists, sales people, developers, event professionals and administrative staff.
Who we are
A media house, that connects.
Since 1989, the Österreichischer Kommunal-Verlag has been bringing business and Austria's 2,092 municipalities together. Under one roof we have journalists, sales professionals, event makers, developers and marketplace experts – from KOMMUNAL to a3BAU to Kommunalbedarf.at.
What defines us: short paths, real responsibility and a team that gets stuck in. You help shape things – across print, digital, events and e-commerce.
A team that sticks together. Small, but close: we know each other well, we like each other and we have each other's backs. And when things get tricky, this team holds together.
We are Kommunal-Verlag

What connects us
What you bring.
Professionally, your skills count – personally, what counts is how you tick. This is what matters to us:
Initiative
You do not wait for tasks to be handed to you – you see what needs doing and build your own structure around it.
A wish to shape things
A lot here is still taking shape. That is exactly the appeal: you help form your job rather than finding it finished. It is a question of character – and that is the character we are looking for.
Calm when it gets busy
Things do not always run in a straight line here. When several things happen at once, you stay relaxed and keep the overview.
Curiosity about AI
You are interested in how AI is changing our daily work, and you like trying out new tools yourself.
Openness and passion
You are sociable, approach people openly and enjoy your work – including when things change.
