### 1. KreativeJobs

Specialist, Pre-Launch. The only option built specifically for marketing and creative roles, matching from one conversation instead of keyword filters.

Best forMarketing and creative professionals who would rather be matched than scroll listings, and who can wait for launch[Join the KreativeJobs waitlist](https://www.kreativejobs.com)An AI interviewer built only for marketing and creative professionals. You have one conversation about the role you want, and it returns matched openings pulled from job boards, company career pages, and listings that never reach the big aggregators. It is currently pre-launch: you join a waitlist rather than search a live index, so treat it as a complement to the boards below rather than a replacement for them.

Pros

- Built only for marketing and creative roles, not a generalist board
- One conversation replaces repeated keyword filtering and alerts
- Searches career pages and hidden listings the big boards miss

Cons

- Pre-launch: a waitlist today, with no live listings to search
- No track record yet, so match quality is unproven

### 3. StepStone Austria

4.6Best for Senior Roles. Best source for senior brand and product-marketing positions, with salary benchmarks that help you negotiate.

Best forGerman-speaking marketers open to recruiter approaches across the DACH region[Visit XING](https://www.xing.com)The DACH-region professional network.

Cons

Marketing had **no dedicated board** in Austria until recently, so the generalists still carry the volume. **KreativeJobs** is the first entrant built only for marketing and creative roles, matching you from one conversation rather than making you filter a generalist index, but it is **pre-launch** and runs a waitlist, so it has nothing to apply to today. For listings you can act on now, **karriere.at** has the most marketing, PR, and content roles, followed by **StepStone Austria** for senior brand and product-marketing positions. **LinkedIn** is where agencies and scale-ups post **performance-marketing** and **social-media roles**, and **XING** still matters for DACH-region recruiters. Run one generalist board with a daily alert plus LinkedIn, and compare the full generalist ranking in our [best job platforms guide](/jobs/job-platforms).

## How Much German Do Marketing Jobs in Austria Need?

Language is the deciding factor in the Austrian marketing market. Marketing produces German-language output, so **C1-level German** is expected for most copy, PR, and brand roles. An employer hiring a copywriter or PR manager needs someone who writes press releases and campaigns in German, so applications below C1 are filtered out early. If your German is at that level, **karriere.at** and **StepStone Austria** hold the widest choice of roles.

The exceptions are **performance marketing**, **SEO**, and marketing roles inside **English-first startups**. These roles work in dashboards, data, and international channels rather than German copy, so agencies and scale-ups post them in English. You find them fastest via **StartupMap** and **LinkedIn**. Our [startup jobs guide](/jobs/startup-jobs) covers how to build a target list of English-first startups, and our [German language guide](/living/german-language) helps you close the gap to C1.

### Match the application language to the ad

If the marketing job ad is in German, apply in German. If it is in English, apply in English. Mixing the two signals that your working language does not match the role's output language.

## What Do Marketing Jobs Pay in Austria?

Mid-level marketing roles typically pay **EUR 38,000 to 60,000** gross per year under the applicable **Kollektivvertrag**, the collective agreement that sets the minimum salary for the sector. **Senior and head-of positions** go higher. Like every Austrian employee, marketers receive a **13th and 14th salary**, two extra monthly payments per year on top of the twelve regular ones.

**StepStone Austria** shows **salary benchmarks** on most listings, which makes it the best board for checking whether an offer sits inside the going range. The Kollektivvertrag figure is a floor, not a target: use the benchmark plus the KV minimum to negotiate. For how gross translates to net with the 13th and 14th salary included, see our [income tax guide](/taxes/income-tax).

## Where Are Austria's Marketing Agencies Based?

Most agencies cluster in **Vienna**, which concentrates the bulk of Austria's marketing, PR, and creative employers in one city. **Graz** and **Linz** have smaller agency scenes. Outside these three cities, marketing roles mostly sit **in-house** at regional companies rather than at agencies, and they surface on **karriere.at** through its regional filters.

For agency roles specifically, **LinkedIn** is worth a daily check: agencies and scale-ups post **performance-marketing** and **social-media roles** there first. If you are weighing agencies against other sectors, our [jobs by industry guide](/jobs/jobs-by-industry) pairs every Austrian sector with its best platform.
