How to apply.

If you’re looking for new co-workers, two things are needed: You need to be convinced that we’re the perfect employer with your dream job. And we have to be sure that you’ll fit in well with our creative and dynamic environment.

The best thing to do is to apply online via our job portal. That way, your documents will reach us securely and quickly and the process will go a lot faster than with a written application. In your letter, tell us what you want to accomplish at BIRKENSTOCK. A complete CV and current references are, of course, just as important for providing us with a good overview.

When you submit your application in the system you’ll automatically receive confirmation of receipt. If we think your profile fits an open position, we’ll invite you to an initial meeting. In this meeting, you’ll meet a potential future manager or colleague, and a representative from HR will be present as well. And if you and we both think everything seems right, we’ll see each other again in a second round. After that, you and we will decide: Join BIRKENSTOCK? If the answer is yes, we look forward to working with you.
