• Willingness to travel (approx. 15% of the role)

• International projects with a wow factor: Our talents work on exciting projects — from Vienna to Madrid to Namibia — with new and engaging challenges.
• Mental health & wellbeing in focus: With OpenUp, we offer access to sessions with psychologists, coaching, and meditation — because your mental health matters to us.
• Sustainability with real impact: Our CSR team actively engages in clean-up actions, donation projects, our MCI book club, and more — because sustainable action is our attitude, not a trend.
• Equality is a given: We offer fair salary bands and no gender pay gap — equal opportunities and diversity are part of our everyday practice.
• An office that feels like home: Modern technology, cozy seating areas, phone booths, a swing seat — we provide everything so you can perform at your best.
