Where to Find Jobs by Industry in Austria (2026)

Which Job Platform Is Best for Each Industry in Austria?

Every industry in Austria has one platform that outperforms the generalist boards. The table above pairs each sector with its best specialist platform and the boards worth checking alongside it. karriere.at and StepStone Austria carry the widest overall volume, so keep one of them open in every search. For the full generalist ranking, see our best job platforms guide.

Where Do You Find Startup Jobs in Austria?

StartupMap (startupmap.one) is the best starting point for startup jobs in Austria. It maps 4,000+ European startups across 55 cities and lets you filter by hiring status, industry, and funding stage for free. That flips the usual search: instead of waiting for ads, you build a target list of Austrian startups that are recruiting and approach them directly.

Combine it with DevJobs.at for advertised tech roles in the Vienna startup scene and LinkedIn, where most Austrian startups post first. Startups are Austria's most English-friendly employers: many run English as the working language and sponsor Red-White-Red Cards for international hires. Expect equity or bonus components on top of the Kollektivvertrag minimum, and check the startup's funding stage before joining: a recently funded scale-up hires faster than a pre-seed team. For the wider ecosystem, see our Austrian startup guides.

Where Do You Find IT and Software Jobs in Austria?

DevJobs.at is the specialist board for developers, with curated listings and many English-language roles in Vienna. karriere.at adds the largest volume, including IT roles in Graz, Linz, and Salzburg. IT professionals in Austria earn EUR 45,000 to 75,000 gross per year as of 2026, and IT specialists sit on the Mangelberufsliste, which eases the Red-White-Red Card path for non-EU developers. If you are choosing an employer rather than a board, our IT services firms guide ranks the biggest Austrian tech employers.

Where Do You Find Marketing and Creative Jobs in Austria?

Marketing has no dominant niche board in Austria, so the generalists carry the market: karriere.at lists 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 agency recruiters. Most agencies cluster in Vienna, with smaller scenes in Graz and Linz.

Language is the deciding factor: marketing produces German-language output, so C1-level German is expected for most copy, PR, and brand roles. The exceptions are performance marketing, SEO, and marketing roles inside English-first startups, which you find fastest via StartupMap and LinkedIn. Salaries typically run EUR 38,000 to 60,000 gross for mid-level marketing roles under the applicable Kollektivvertrag; senior and head-of positions go higher.

Where Do You Find Hospitality and Tourism Jobs in Austria?

Tourism is one of Austria's largest employers, and it hires on its own boards. Rolling Pin is the leading gastronomy and hotel career platform in the DACH region, and HOGASTJOB specializes in Austrian hotel and gastronomy roles, including the alpine resorts. The winter season runs roughly December to April and the summer season June to September, concentrated in Tyrol, Salzburg, and Vorarlberg. Many seasonal contracts include staff accommodation and meals, which makes them a common first job for newcomers.

Guest-facing roles need conversational German, while kitchens are often international and more relaxed about language. Pay follows the hotel and gastronomy Kollektivvertrag; tips come on top. Hospitality roles also appear on the shortage list in several federal states, which can support a Red-White-Red Card application for non-EU workers.

Where Do You Find Finance and Consulting Jobs in Austria?

StepStone Austria is the strongest board for finance, accounting, and consulting roles, with salary benchmarks on most listings. LinkedIn dominates for the international firms: the Big 4 (Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG) and strategy consultancies post there and on their own career portals, and their Austrian offices recruit year-round for audit and advisory. XING reaches DACH-region recruiters, and Experteer targets executive and head-of positions. Banking roles at Erste Group, Raiffeisen, and BAWAG appear on karriere.at and the banks' own portals.

Consulting is one of the few Austrian industries where English-only applications are common, though German C1 is expected for client-facing work with Austrian Mittelstand clients. For a ranked comparison of the firms themselves, see our management consulting guide and the accompanying user-review research.

Where Do You Find Graduate and Student Jobs in Austria?

Absolventen.at is the dedicated board for students, graduates, and early-career professionals, covering internships (Praktika), trainee programmes, and junior roles tied to the university system. UNIPORT, the career service of the University of Vienna, runs its own job portal and career fairs, and unijobs.at lists academic and administrative positions at Austrian universities. karriere.at's entry-level filter adds volume across all sectors.

Trainee programmes at Austrian corporates usually start in September and October, with applications opening the preceding spring. Students from EU/EEA countries can work without restrictions; non-EU students are capped at 20 hours per week on a student residence permit. Internships tied to a degree programme are standard in Austria, and paid internships fall under the Kollektivvertrag of the sector. For studying in Austria, see our education guides.

Where Do You Find Public Sector, NGO, and International Organization Jobs in Austria?

The Republic of Austria lists federal vacancies on jobboerse.gv.at, the official public-administration job board covering ministries and agencies; most roles require Austrian or EU citizenship and fluent German. ngojobs.eu, a Vienna-based board, collects NGO and non-profit roles across Austria and Europe, many of them English-speaking. The EU-wide EURES network adds cross-border public listings.

Vienna is one of the four major UN headquarters cities, hosting the IAEA, UNIDO, CTBTO, plus the OSCE and OPEC. These organizations recruit through their own portals, primarily careers.un.org and each agency's vacancy page, and they hire in English with internationally competitive, often tax-privileged salaries. Competition is strong: international-organization hiring runs on rosters and can take 6 months or longer from application to offer.

Where Do You Find Skilled Trades and Blue-Collar Jobs in Austria?

hokify is the mobile-first Austrian platform for trades, retail, logistics, and operational roles: applications run from the phone and most listings need no cover letter. The free AMS eJob-Room carries the largest public database of blue-collar roles, and willhaben Jobs surfaces local SME positions that never reach the big boards. Electricians, welders, roofers, and several other trades sit on the Mangelberufsliste, which opens the Red-White-Red Card route for qualified non-EU workers.

Austrian trades run on the Lehre (apprenticeship) system, and employers expect recognized qualifications: foreign certificates may need Nostrifikation (formal recognition). Pay follows the trade's Kollektivvertrag with 13th and 14th salaries, and German at B1 level is usually required for site safety and customer contact.
