English-speaking jobs in Vienna

Hello everyone

My name is Andra and I'm currently living in Romania. After visiting Vienna a few times, I've fallen in love with it. From its ambiance and culture to its people, I like everything about it. I'm a freelance digital marketing/SEO specialist (with a focus on copywriting). I have tried to find a job in Vienna, but most companies require the German language. I know that this question has been posted a few years ago by other members, but maybe things have changed since then.

Can someone recommend me some companies (including start-ups) in Vienna that hire English speakers? I consider other Austrian cities too. I also hold a fitness certification, so I have applied at Holmes Place and been there for an interview - they have selected me for the job, but never heard back from them.

Ideally, I would like to find a job in SEO, Internet marketing, advertising, or fitness. I have over eight years of experience, but I'm willing to start with an entry level job if needed. I simply don't know where to look for. I have used Linkedin, angel.co, startus, and other platforms, but my options are limited. I would really appreciate any suggestion! Thank you.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I'm aware of that and I have started to learn German a few months ago, but my language skills are basic at this point. I have noticed that more and more start-up companies and some multinational organizations are using English as their first language - especially in the IT niche because they target a global audience. This is why I'm asking this

Many companies you require to know both Languages and if you know any others even better, but German is a must Andra.

Yes German is quite important to finding a job here.

Have you tried the U.N.? Most offices there only require you to speak english.

I was lucky enough to find a job here with just english. My advice would be to apply to all the jobs you like which emphasise the english language. And take up some german lessons.
